    Our tour was an unforgettable experience - the hilight of our 10day Mediterranean vacation. Our guide, Georgia, was fantastic, friendly, and a joy to be around. The food and wine we tried was amazing - all local spots we wouldn’t have found on our own. Highly recommend!!!

    Lorenzo was our guide. He has an exuberant and fun personality. He took us to places that he loves. We tasted typical Venetian foods from various types of establishments from street foods, to a restaurant, and some inbetween. He pushed us out of our comfort zones in some cases, and there was wine too. It was fun!

    Amazing tour! Highly recommend. Marianna is an amazing guide and we had so much fun! The food was wonderful; we learned a lot about Venetian specialities, and some history! The places we visited were more “hidden gems” and that was exactly what we hoped it would be. Would absolutely take this tour again!!

    A variety of food and wine is offered while walking primarily in the San Polo area. Martina was a fantastic guide, sharing her knowledge of Venetian food and offering tips on how to select good places to eat. We thoroughly enjoyed our experience and highly recommend it to others.

    This was a wonderful tour! Our group had a great time with Carlo, who knew so much about his city and the local cuisine. The food was delicious, with most (if not all) sourced from local ingredients. Very fresh, very Venetian. If you can, request Carlo as your guide. He is full of personality and helped make our tour lighthearted and fun.
