Discover
the Firenze of the Florentines

A lampredotto and tripe tasting walking tour through Firenze, Italy
— guided by a Florentine
food writer and journalist,
born and raised in this city.

What Sets This Tour Apart

Intrigued by the world
of tripe and lampredotto?
Then this is absolutely your tour.

1

Two Tastings,
One Story

We stop at two historic tripe stalls — one for the iconic lampredotto, another for a different classic recipe — while exploring the centuries-old locations of Firenze's tripe trade. Both tastings, plus a glass of wine or a small bottle of water, are included.

A Real Florentine
Guide

I am a Florentine food writer and journalist, born and raised in Firenze, who has spent over thirty years studying tripe. You don't just taste tripe — you understand it.

3

Monuments and
Hidden Corners

From the Duomo to the Oltrarno, this walk showcases Firenze's iconic landmarks alongside the corners only Florentines know — the places that seldom appear in tourist itineraries.

A Booklet
to Take Home

Every guest receives a complimentary booklet of their choice: The Little Book of Lampredotto or The Firenze of the Florentines.

Vegetarian? You are still welcome to tag along — after all, we walk through one of the most beautiful cities in the world.
