A lampredotto and tripe tasting walking tour through Firenze, Italy
— guided by a Florentine
food writer and journalist,
born and raised in this city.
Intrigued by the world
of tripe and lampredotto?
Then this is absolutely your tour.
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.
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.
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.
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.
As a Florentine food writer and journalist who, believe it or not, has spent over thirty years studying tripe — and as a professional tour leader, of course — I guide you through Firenze as one of the world's leading experts on tripe.
Along the way, you get a full immersion in tripe culture: the history of lampredotto, the centuries-old stalls that still serve it, and the everyday codes that guide local life in the Firenze of the Florentines.
Every guest receives a complimentary
copy of one of these booklets,
included in the tour price.
A 40-page English booklet
with the history of lampredotto,
new and vintage photographs
of Firenze's tripesellers,
and easy-to-replicate recipes.
A 48-page English booklet
that reveals how Florentines
think, behave, and see their own city
— a key to understanding the people
and the everyday codes that guide local life.
The walk, the tastings,
and the booklets offer something
no other experience can:
a complete immersion into Firenze
and its tripe culture,
guided by an international authority
on the subject — and a Fiorentino,
born and raised.
