Giorgia made this tour very special. She loves her city and knows it well. We had so much fun walking around the city with her and tying all the food she curated for us. It was the best truffle oil, balsamic reduction, and gelato I have ever had in my life! The seafood and pasta was delicious as well. We drank a lot, ate a lot, and laughed a lot. We left very full. Make sure you come hungry and wear good walking shoes. I would highly recommend this tour and to do it towards the beginning of your time in Venice, so you learn about the food culture here and where the good eats are ;). I will do another tour with Giorgia in the future. Don’t miss this one!!!!

This was a great experience with the enthusiastic and knowledgeable guide Sara. It was great experiencing the variety of local food and having it explained to us. Sara’s humour was a bonus!
