Florence is one of the most beautiful cities in Italy, a real open-air museum, a cradle of art and beauty. Strolling around the Tuscan capital gives you the feeling of having made a step back in time and finding yourself literally immersed in a work of art. In Florence there are so many things to do and see that it certainly takes more than a few days to really get to know it, but there is a way to discover it in a different and authentic way: take part in a food and wine tour. We at Do Eat Better Experience suggest you take part in a food tour in Florence to experience the city in a unique way, discovering its most beautiful corners and tasting the most famous traditional dishes of the city. That’s why we decided to tell you what we think are the 5 main reasons why it’s worth taking part in one of our food tours of the Tuscan capital.
1. You will taste the best traditional Florentine dishes

In Tuscany every meal is accompanied by the excellent wine of the area.

4. Walk around the city with a local guide
As you may have guessed our food tours in Florence are all guided by local people. This will allow you to discover a new city, to get out of the usual tourist routes and to know anecdotes and curiosities that only a local can tell you. It will be a bit like being a guest of friends who want to introduce you to their city with all the love and passion they have.
This, together with the fact that our tours are never composed by more than 10 people, guarantees a familiar and informal atmosphere that always contributes to create funny situations that stimulate the interaction between the participants. In front of a good meal and a good glass of wine it is easier to chat and make new friends!
