    We thoroughly enjoyed our food tour of the Rialto Mercato area with Anna. We strolled about the market a bit and then sat down at a couple of her favorite restaurants to sample some wine and local specialties. At other venues, we stood at a counter or outside to taste some more treats and finished up at her favorite gelateria. While we ate, Anna told us about the market vendors and their eating habits on market days. She also gave us tips on how to spot a good local restaurant, avoid the tourist traps, and not overpay for a view.

    My wife and I loved this tour. We stopped at so many places and had great food. Georgia was exceptional as our guide, giving us insight to the food and traditions in Venice. We highly recommend taking this tour at the beginning of your stay in Venice - it pays in dividends when you plan for your next meals (not only with the places you go, but Georgia provides recommendations). I’m sure all the tour guides are great, but see if you can get Georgia!

    This tour was well organized but flexible enough to allow a couple to catch up with the group. The tastings were all chosen with care to ensure an authentic experience and there was enough food and wine for all. Come with an adventurous palate and be open to tasting anchovies. I was surprised how much I enjoyed it.

  • Wonderful!

    Great food tour with Marianna! She was so lovely, warm and welcoming and showed us some amazing spots that we went back to the next day to have more! So fun to learn more about the culture from a local, and she went above and beyond to make sure we had a great experience, taking pics, getting extra servings, explaining everything, answering questions and giving recommendations! Grazie mille Marianna!

    Scheduling a food tour at the start our visit is becoming a preferred way to begin an overseas trip. Giorgia was a wonderful guide, sharing a bit of Venetian history, local tips, and how to use hand signals to say we love the food. 😀 Our second food tour in Venice and we would do it again!

  • Amazing experience

    This was by far the best thing we did on our trip. Our guide Marianna was friendly and knowledgeable and took us to some amazing places where we ate and drink lovely food. We will definitely be back to do even more next time. The only thing is that we wish we had done this first as we found so many lovely places we wanted to visit again but were heading home the next morning!
