The tour was very intimate being a small group, very informative and included plenty of local quality food and wine.

The tour with Carlo was fantastic, there was a variety of delicious food, you have been to a corner of Venice that I did not know before. Carlo gave a lot of information about Venice and took very good care of the group. Food intolerances and preferences are discussed and alternatives are offered. A really successful evening in a small group. Definitely back! Nicole

This is a must-do activity. Mike was our guide. He's an American who has been living in Italy for many years. Extremely knowledgeable and nice. The food and wine was terrific. The best part was talking to the others in the tour. Overall it was the perfect Italian experience: Good food, good wine, and good company.

The tour guide was very friendly and knowledgeable of local food, this history of it, and the local area. We had some really lovely food and wines, with plenty to sample which for most would have been sufficient, however, I personally would have preferred a little bit more. The host was able to give us some good recommendations of local eateries for the rest of our trip which we utilised and we're very impressed with.

Great introduction to Venetian food, drink and culture. Marianna was informative, fun, kind and so proud to show us her hometown. We ended the tour so full from all the food and drinks and buzzing from such a fun experience. It exceeded our expectations. Thanks Marianna!
