    My daughter and I visited Venice over Easter weekend. We did this food tour our first night, and it was the perfect introduction to the city. Sarita took us to fabulous places and we were able to try a variety of foods, wines, and desserts. No one went away hungry! The tour was also very accommodating for different needs (vegetarian, no fish, etc). Highly recommend!

    My wife and I made our first visit to Venice and booked a 5:45PM Taste of Venice tour. It had been a long and crowded day in Venice and we were already tired. I almost considered skipping out on the tour and going back to our hotel, I’M GLAD WE DIDN’T. One of the best excursions I’ve ever been on, well worth the money! Our guide Sara was amazing. Great food, great drinks, and great conversation. There is a lot of walking, but that is what Venice is. I’m in my mid 50s and had no problem keeping up. I can’t recommend this tour enough. More food than you typically have at dinner and the quality is amazing.

  • Definitely take this tour!

    Our guide was great. My 15 and 17 year olds even enjoyed it. There were several different food options, and the gelato was amazing.
