    This tour far exceeded our expectations. The food was delicious and the wine was perfect. But what made this tour amazing was our guide Anna. She was so interesting and informative and so much fun. I was travelling with my husband and four kids ages 18 to 22 and all of us agree it was an amazing tour. 10/10

    We loved the food and our guide, Lorenzo, but the set up was not great. There were 16 people in our group which was a good size but we met at the same time as two other groups in the same place for the same tour. Then the first two or 3 stops, we followed behind one of the other groups. This kind of defeats the idea of a small group tour. While they stood at the place we were stopping by to try, we stood away waiting for our guide to bring our samples. Just seems like the meeting times could have been staggered and the locations could have been changed.

    Our tour guide Carlo was nice and high spirited even in the rain. He was very informative and went the extra mile in many situations. One of which is in providing places to visit in Florence where we are staying.

    We had such an amazing time on our Venice food tour with Martina! She was so friendly, knowledgeable, and made the entire experience so much fun. Every single thing we ate was absolutely delicious, especially the meats and cheeses — some of the best we’ve ever had. And of course, the wine selections were incredible as well! The highlight for us though was definitely the gelato. It was so good that we kept going back even after the tour ended! This was such a fun and memorable way to experience Venice, and we would highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting.

  • Fabulous introduction to Venetian cuisine

    Unhurried journey from appetizers to gelato. Greta kept the pace leisurely and the discussion interesting. We tried a few things we had never heard of. A must if you are a foodie!
