The Local Aromas Guestbook

We loved this food tour! As two sisters traveling together, Sant’Ambrogio Market was exactly what we hoped to find in Florence — real local life. We started the morning with amazing coffee and pastries, then wandered through the market tasting cheeses, breads, and things we’d never tried before. Our guide made it feel like we were being welcomed into the neighborhood, introducing us to vendors and sharing stories that brought everything to life. It was such a fun, authentic way to understand how Florentines truly eat.

Sally & Gab

My husband and I had the best morning at Sant’Ambrogio Market. It felt like stepping into real Florence — no crowds, just everyday life and incredible food. We tried fresh pastries, traditional breads, cheeses, and so many Tuscan flavors we didn’t even know existed. Our guide was wonderful and made us feel like locals from the moment we arrived. If you want a true taste of Florence, this tour is perfect.
