Irene was incredible-knowledgeable and shared her love for the stops. Loved everything about this tour- thank you!
Irene was an amazing tour guide. Went to local family run businesses. Tried many local delicacies. Great experience.
Fantastic tour - lots of different places and’s food/drink experiences. Irene was so knowledgeable and friendly. Highly recommend.
Camila was amazing! She was efficient and gave such good options for tasting and wine. I had such a good time. Really good conversation as well! This being less than $200 was great! If I had done all these things separately I probably would’ve paid more. Two hours felt like 30 minutes! I didn’t really how much time went by. I was so full afterwards that I didn’t want dinner afterwards. As it was later in the evening it wasn’t very crowded and I believe all the businesses we visited knew we were coming so it was nice. Venice is just beautiful so everything about the atmosphere was beautiful. I think my favorite was the tiramisu and the sparking red wine
Very pleasant experience, be prepared for quite a mix of food. The guide, Georia was brilliant. It would be good to have a list of the bars that we visited as we stopped at some really interesting spots.
We could not recommend this tour more highly. Our guide, Giada, was so friendly & knowledgable that we felt we were spending an evening with a great friend. She managed to secure us great seats on a very busy Saturday evening, the good and drinks were delicious and we explored bars & parts of Venice we would not have known about on our own. Great way to have dinner!
Ailisha was brilliant - so great you to have a local show us around. Every venue was a different vibe/experience and totally showcased their venue and produce. Group size was perfect.
Giorgia was an excellent guide! She was warm and friendly and very knowledgeable.
Our tour guide was excellent and knowledgeable and very energetic which helps with the tour experience!
Very nice experience and lots of interesting food and drink samples. Do not eat before hand!!! You have been warned??!!?!?
We had a great time touring Venice with Alessia, and were very full afterwards! Everything we ate and drank was delicious and we got to see hidden spots of the city we wouldn’t have otherwise. Highly recommend!
It was fun to try different venues for food and wine
Everything perfect and Easy. Don't eat so much before
We were unable to attend. A lady bumped into my husband as we were navigating our way to your tour causing my husband to fall hard on the bridge steps and injure his foot. We were a tenth of a mile from the meet up site. I recommend you tell visitors to take a water taxi to the meeting point to avoid the hustle of the streets.
Our guy named Denis was very friendly and very knowledgeable. He made the experience worth it.
Denis was an amazing guide! We enjoyed this tour so much it was the highlight of our Venice trip!
While I had read mixed reviews about this tour, I have only positive comments. We visited 5 restaurants- all different - and had great snacks and wonderful beverages. I am gluten sensitive and our tour guide made sure I was given gluten free foods! And we were able to take the traghetto which is always fun. Thank you!
Had a great time on this tour with our enthusiastic and very knowledgeable guide, Alessia. Tasted lots of delicious local food and wine and as a bonus also learnt more of the history and ways of Venice. Thanks Alessia!
Our enthusiastic guide, Alessia, provided us with a great introduction to real Venetian food and wine, along with some welcome insights on the history of Venice.
Alessia was a great tour guide and the food stops were great and a perfect introduction to the city if you are a foodie. Also took into account my partner who didnt like fish. Great alternatives. Recommended for first time visitors in venice who want to avoid tourist traps
Alessia was an amazing guide. She is a local and very personable. The food was so good, and I would highly recommend this tour.
What a great tour made even more special by being such a small group, in our case 7 people, unlike so many of the other walking groups we saw. We sampled some lovely wines and food that we may never have tried. It was a perfect introduction to Venice shared with some lovely like minded travellers. Our guide was just amazing and very knowledgable.
Giorgia was absolutely amazing and informative. Our experience with her gave us information that we would have never known. She introduced us to local eateries and provided us with the history of the wine and food.
This was a fabulous experience! We were able to sample some of Venice‘s local cuisine while we also enjoyed wine, Prosecco, etc. Our last stop served us the best tiramisu I’ve ever had! Giada was an excellent, informative guide. The small group tour is definitely the way to go! A must do in Venice!
Super fun way to get all the insider tips of what to eat ans where to go along with some history of Venice. All the stops were unique and very good.
This was a fantastic guided tour. Alessia a perfectly knowledgeable host for the best local eats in Venice. A truly authentic experience, I could not recommend it more!
Alessia was a wonderful host and a beautiful representation of Venice hospitality. My wife and I were very happy with the whole experience!
The most amazing tour I could imagine! Tasty, for foody lovers, tremendous drinks and very nice and informative toir giude Alessia. She guided us through with smile on her face and adjusted tempo to people who need more time to walk. The best tour ever!
Outstanding guide, excellent food. Alessia was superb, very knowledgable and friendly. Great stops, all local family businesses - brilliant food and drink. Recommend!!
Great tour, meet some lovely fellow travellers. A really enjoyable night, thank you so much.
Georgia was the tour guide par excellence! Not only has she studied languages and food and wine at university level, but she was a magnificent conversationalist and expertly answered all my questions. I was impressed by her goodwill and curiosity as well as her attention to detail. It was magnificent that all the small businesses on the itinerary were locals with an ethos of environmental sustainability. Would place this tour on the “must do” list if you are curious about local food culture.
Giovanna is an amazing host and has fantastic recommendations beyond the tour! Highly recommended- ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Great night. Really interesting stories. The food and drinks were great and so much. Couldn't eat another thing.

What a fantastic experience! Our guide, Ludo, was absolutely wonderful! She was knowledgeable, engaging, and shared so much interesting history along the way. The food was delicious, and there was plenty of it! It was the perfect balance of great food, local history, and exploring the city. We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves and would highly recommend this tour, especially with Ludo as your guide!
Great time! Delicious food and variety of drinks :) definitely recommend! Met some awesome people, too!
Our hearts and bellies are so full! This group was so incredible and our guide, Ursula, was so sweet and funny. The food and wine was outstanding and each place was unique. We definitely wouldn’t have found these places on our own.
Super fun tour that was great way to see Venice and experience the special bites. Cerrello was an awesome guide and hit spots that were balanced.
Irene was a delightful guide. Every place she took us to was prepared, gave us great food. And the stories that she provided along the way about the food and history were delightful . I would recommend this tour to anyone who is coming to Venice.
Irene was absolutely amazing! Very knowledgeable and great character! Would highly recommend any time!
