Excellent tour with Vanessa
My wife gave me this tour as a birthday present, and it couldn’t have been better. Our tour guide Vanessa was fantastic. After just a couple of sentences, we were completely hooked by her knowledge and the fascinating stories she shared about Cannaregio and Venice. The first dishes we tasted felt like heaven. We would join a tour with Vanessa again anytime.
Vanessa’s tour- terrific
Vanessa would get 10 stars if that was an option. She took my 83 year old sister and me on a guided tour of the Jewish ghetto and more. She tailored the tour because my sister walks with a cane. She is very knowledgeable about the Jewish ghetto and much, much more. The food was great and we couldn’t finish it all! I highly recommend Vanessa’s tour.
Enjoyable Food Tour
Food was excellent. It was great to see a different neighborhood other than the main district. History of Venice and neighborhood was great. Vanessa was excellent and enjoyable company. Given that it was just our family she adapted our interests and food tastes along the way.
Vanessa was a terrific...
Vanessa was a terrific guide--knowledgeable, friendly, willing to indulge us in small side trips. The food choices were delicious too.
