Eat like a local while learning the history of venice

Published on Dec, 2024

Excellent tour with knowledgeable Venetian local guide, Alice. We ate like locals while learning about the history of Venice. We hit several distinct areas of Venice. Wonderful tour!

Amazing!

Published on Nov, 2024

This was so much fun! We stopped into several places that we would never have gone into on our own, where the food was so incredibly delicious, and the wine unique and wonderful. Our guide, Silvia, was so fun and knowledgeable, and created a comfortable vibe. By the end of the tour a group of strangers had become friends. If you want to try some great food but don't know where to go, try this tour!

Great food, lovely company, delicious wine

Published on Nov, 2024

Georgia our guide was lovely. She had a real passion for Venice and Venetian food and wine. We visited four amazing Bacaro and ate some lovely food. She was very good to check allergies and intolerances. One of our group was gluten free and she went out of her way to find alternatives. The wine choices were great and Sepa the last stop was a hidden local gem. Thanks for a wonderful evening.

Great food, great wine, great tour guide

Published on Nov, 2024

Excellent selection of places to eat and great description of the history of Venice. The guide provided a lot of history. It it wasn’t overwhelming and it tied well to the gastro/vino selection we enjoyed.
