Wandering the Rialto Market with a knowledgeable guide, sampling fantastic local food and wine along the way, was the perfect introduction to authentic Venetian cuisine. Everything was fresh, the pours were generous, and we left full and happy with great recommendations for the rest of our stay. Five of us went and everyone loved it.
Denys, our guide, made sure everyone was happy with the selection of food provided at each stop. He was the most accommodating guide I have yet to experience. The food stops were very popular. We tried to go back to one for a late lunch and the line was long. Thank you Denys, for your kind, intelligent manner.
Tone was a great tour guide. I was very impressed with his knowledge of the history of Venice. The tour was a nice mix of old and new Venetian spots.
Very informative and entertaining tour in the old part of Venice. Hit some of the oldest bars/restaurants in Venice. Highly recommend.
Amazing moment A tour of Venice by the small restaurants of the city with a local guide.
We had an amazing time on this tour! It ended up being just the three of us and our guide, Tone. Sometimes that situation can feel a bit awkward without other guests, but Tone made it incredibly comfortable and it felt like we had our own private tour. He took us to several interesting spots and every portion was a good size and a great introduction into traditional Venetian foods. Each stop also had a taste of wine or spritz. My husband even stepped out of his comfort zone and tried a traditional sardine cicchetti! Along the way, we learned about the history of Venice. Tone was extremely knowledgeable and patiently answered all of our random questions. We finished the tour with some delicious gelato and some great restaurant recommendations for the rest of our stay. Thank you so much, Tone! This was the perfect way to start our trip.
This was the best tour I have participated in my life. Every place we went to get cicchetti were great. Lunch was great. We walked around Venice and the guide was very helpful.
Our tour ended up being cancelled, they contacted us the day before and worked with our schedule to book is on another your which worked out great! We ended up getting lost on the way to the tour meeting spot and they waited for us, I texted them and Martina kept texting me back right away to make sure we made it. She had us meet them at the first stop on the tour. The tour lasted just over 2 hours and we learned about more than just food. We learned about food and wine history in Venice! Denys our guide was Awesome!! I am very picky eater and he got me other options to choose from when we sampling food on our tour, I thought was so nice of him. When we come back to Italy we will definitely book more tours with this company!!!
We were changed to a different tour which worked out better. Our guide Denys was AWESOME. He spoke good English and was very knowledgeable and funny. If we didn't like the option of items being offered he arranged some other item for us to taste. Great time!
We were in a group of six with our guide Dennis. We tried a large variety of food and wines, learned some things about Venice’s history, areas and foods, and had a really fun time!
