Elizabeth was knowledgeable, entertaining and helpful. She gave excellent historic context to the city, the culture and the food and beverages we sampled. The samples were generous and well chosen to give a good variety of flavors and textures. The pace of the tour was good for both this grandmother and the children with other families. We highly recommend this tour and guide for a truly fun taste of Venice.
The guide was great The first two food stations great The next 2 rather mediocre Tiramisu also not convincing
We did not find the meeting point but tried for 2 hours to reach someone to find the group. 6 calls and. Not even an answering machine. Three calls on an AI. Sending 2 emails. No way back. OUTRAGEOUS.
Good food, Tone was a friendly guide who answered any questions with ease. Venice is a beautiful city so combine a walking tour with lovely food it's a winning combination
This is a fabulous introduction to the street food of Venice and the culture behind it. We were treated to various cicchetti, fried mozzarella sandwiches, risotto, polenta ….. and much more. Our guide Vanessa was fun, interesting about the city and its inhabitants and led us through the maze of streets to great places to enjoy the food. Would thoroughly recommend this tour.
Great way to try local flavours and see more of the city. We ended up going back to a local shop for specialty wines that were recommended by the owner. Did not disappoint! Great experience.
A wonderful guided tour of the city’s street food with a knowledgeable guide. We thoroughly enjoyed it, and our two teenagers did too!
Be there ahead of time. Don’t be 10 minutes late. They will leave you. The only thing to do then is to tour on your own.
Our guide Deny was awesome. We went to places you would never know about it. Had plenty to eat & drink and my vegetarian request was always accommodated.
Fantastic tour with a wonderful guide. Irene is very passionate about Venice and it shows. I highly recommend this tour for anyone looking for an authentic Venice experience outside of pizza and pasta. You will get to see a fair amount of the city and will get plenty to eat along the way.
