Amazing!

Excellent private tour with Antonella and Kiara at the Central Market of Florence. Her local knowledge and relationship with the vendors gave us a truly authentic experience. Some of our favorite shops were: il Cantuccio di San Lorenzo (for biscotti), Marco Salumi E Formaggi, Proditti Bio Le Lame (for balsamic and olive oils), and Bambi for tripe sandwiches. We learned about the Chianti wine region and had a nice tasting to pair with some of the traditional stews that we picked up at the market. We enjoyed a small family owned coffee shop and finished at a high quality locally made gelato shop. If you want to elevate your Florence experience look no further. Well worth the time and money. Highly recommended!
