Traveler reviews
Fantastic!
The tour was the perfect blend of informative and fun! The food, drinks and guide were fantastic. I loved that we were able to get a local’s perspective and guidance.
Great Tour. Food was delicious.
Really liked walking through the various markets. The crostini from the baker that was shown on Stanley Tucci’s tv show was wonderful.
Great foodie experience
Great mid-day walking a slightly less touristy area of Venice, learning about history and food from Alessia, a local Venetian. 3 stops for great tasting cicchetti and refreshing drinks with a final stop for gelato. Would love to do again.
Venetian Food Tour
We loved the tour. Our tour guide was extremely knowledgeable and we really felt like we had a true Venetian experience
A highlight!
Alessia was extremely knowledgeable about history, architecture, culture, food & drink. We were grateful she shared her gondolier family history with us and thoroughly enjoyed every bite & sip. She accommodated our 3 yr old (even a short tantrum) and the pacing of the tour was relaxed and comfortable. A highlight of our trip!
