Very cool and different perspective of the Venetian lagoon. Great selection of food and drinks and Gioele was awesome!

The Other Side of Venice

Absolutely wonderful. After a day of being sardined with tourists, Eating Europe’s private food boat tour was the best way to end the day. Our tour guide Joe provided personalized service, great stories and wonderful off the beaten track hidden secrets. The farm stop was especially unique. So peaceful and such great food. Thank you Joe for a wonderful experience. Also thank you to the boat captains Marcello and Serena for a beautiful ride.

Foodie lovers tour!

Absolutely wonderful experience. Our guide, Gio, was a delight. A wealth of experience and extremely personable guy! The food was not only delicious but diverse, authentic and in some cases, organic.

Truly a wonderful experience. One of a kind. Worth every penny and more. Joe (don’t let the name fool you, he’s Italian) knew everything about Venice and was a *perfect* guide. The food was amazing, and well-varied. The boat tour was icing on the cake. Perfect for a family, group of friends, or a solo traveler.
