The Local Aromas Guestbook

My daughter and I did this Oltrarno food tour together, and it was such a special experience for both of us. Crossing the river felt like discovering a quieter, more authentic side of Florence. We loved tasting traditional Florentine food and meeting the local artisans who are still working by hand in their workshops. Our guide made everything feel personal and meaningful, sharing stories that helped us really understand the neighborhood and its traditions. It wasn’t just about food, but about people, history, and connection. Spending this time together, away from the crowds, made it even more memorable. A beautiful way to experience the true heart of Florence.

This Oltrarno tour was a beautiful way to experience a more authentic side of Florence. Crossing the river brought us into a quieter neighborhood filled with real local life. Meeting the leather craftsman was a highlight and seeing his skill up close made the traditions of the city feel very real. The food tastings were delicious, the pace was relaxed, and the whole experience felt personal and meaningful. A perfect way to go beyond the usual tourist path.

Yesterday we had a double tour in Florence with Adrienne. It was absolutely amazing! She was so kind, playful, knowledgeable, everything we wanted! She showed us things we never would have found ourselves. Absolutely fantastic!!! So much food so much wine so many artisans 😁😁
