Step off the beaten path and into the heart of Florence with this unique tour blending history, flavor, and local charm. Discover the city’s enchanting buchette del vino—tiny wine windows in historic buildings, a quirky relic of Renaissance ingenuity once used to serve wine directly to citizens.

As we stroll through cobblestone streets, you’ll hear tales of plague-era merchants, noble families, and the revival of this tradition, complete with a chance to sip robust Tuscan wine from one of these hatches. The adventure continues with Florence’s vibrant street food scene. Savor crispy treats, local delicacies, and creamy gelato from the city’s most authentic vendors. From hidden corners to bustling squares, experience why Florence is a food lover’s paradise.
