This is an excellent local walking food tour and a wonderful way to experience Venice. Be prepared to spend some time standing outside local establishments while your guide shares the history and culture behind the bites you are about to sample. One highlight is a stop at a local restaurant where you can sit and enjoy several food tastings paired with wine. Lorenzo was an outstanding guide. He was incredibly knowledgeable, made everyone feel welcome and comfortable, and went above and beyond to ensure that all of our expectations were met. He also provided several great recommendations for things to see and do around Venice. I highly recommend this tour for anyone looking to experience authentic Venetian food, wine, and local culture.
Hi Kim, Thanks so much for the fantastic review! We’re so glad you loved the tour and Lorenzo’s outstanding hospitality. You gave a perfect blueprint of what to expect—exploring the authentic, vibrant standing culture of local bàcari before relaxing over a sit-down meal paired with regional wine. We're thrilled Lorenzo went above and beyond to meet your expectations and set you up with great recommendations. Come back soon for more adventures! — Savor Italy Tours team
Marianna was an incredible guide that really elevated this experience. Her knowledge and insight to the city and local culture was impressive and really added additional meaning to every stop we made along the tour.
We had a wonderful tour with our guide, Marianna. She was warm, fun, and genuinely engaging throughout the experience. Her deep knowledge of the city made us feel like welcomed guests rather than tourists, and the food along the way was fantastic. We also picked up plenty of insider tips that only a local could share. I highly recommend doing this tour on your first day in Venice—it will make the rest of your visit even more enriching.

We had an absolutely wonderful experience on this Venice Sunset Wine & Food Tour! It was one of the highlights of our trip to Venice. We had the chance to taste a great variety of authentic Venetian food, local wines, delicious pastries, and what was truly the best gelato we had during our stay. Every stop was carefully selected, and we learned so much about Venice’s food culture. Our guide, Martina, was exceptional. Her warm personality, enthusiasm, and positive energy made the entire experience even more special. She shared fascinating stories about Venice, answered every question with passion, and made everyone in the group feel welcome and connected. We were also very lucky to have such wonderful people in our group. The four of us truly enjoyed spending the evening together with everyone, and by the end of the tour it felt like we had made new friends. We highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Venice. Thank you, Martina, for giving us such a memorable evening—we will always remember it!
Thank you very much for your fantastic review! We're so happy to hear that our Venice sunset tour was a true highlight of your trip. Martina is an absolute superstar, and she is thrilled that her enthusiasm, storytelling, and warm personality made your evening so memorable. We love that your group bonded so beautifully like old friends over traditional cicchetti, regional wines, pastries, and artisanal gelato. We highly appreciate your recommendation and can't wait to welcome you back! — Savor Italy Tours team
Perfect way to explore Venice. Our guide Alice was amazing
Thank you very much for your kind review, Anna! Anastasia and the team are so happy to hear that you enjoyed the tour and found it the perfect way to explore Venice. Alice was absolutely delighted to be your guide, and we can't wait to welcome you back to the city for another food adventure soon! — Savor Italy Tours team
I've done a few of these local food tours in various countries and this was by far the best. Sara was a great guide guide, knowledgable, humourous and entertaining. The variety of food was great, the amount was not overwhelming and I did not feel over full at the end of the walk. The wines accompanying the meal were equally well sourced and showed off the local region. Thoroughly recommend.
Hi there, thank you endlessly for sharing your experience with us! We are completely thrilled to hear that this was by far the best local food tour you've experienced across your travels. Sara sends a huge grazie for your kind words—she loved bringing her humor, entertainment, and knowledge to your walk. It's wonderful to know you found the traditional wine pairings and food variety perfectly balanced, and we highly appreciate your recommendation! — Savor Italy Tours team
