Local Food Markets in Florence
-
Local food markets are an important staple in any good Italian neighbourhood. Italians love to eat fresh and seasonal food at home and the local market is the best place to go. They are often very lively places with the stall owners provoking potential customers to try their fresh produce. Stand at the stand, shoulder to shoulder with italian "nonne" and try the local produce before taking it home.

This private food tour through Florence’s markets is an invitation to experience the city through its most genuine traditions: food, daily life, and local knowledge. Over three hours, you walk alongside an Official Private Guide through some of Florence’s most vibrant market areas and historic food shops, where Tuscan cuisine is still shaped by seasonality and craftsmanship.

This is not just about tasting, but about understanding how food connects history, geography, and tradition.
Throughout the tour, you stop to sample authentic local specialties, carefully selected to represent Florence’s culinary identity. Each tasting becomes an opportunity to learn about production methods, regional variations, and the stories behind recipes that have remained unchanged for generations.
Designed as a relaxed and conversational walk, this Florence market private food tour offers a deeper connection to the city, revealing a side of Florence that lives beyond museums and monuments, in its flavors, aromas, and everyday rituals.
