    We did the 3 hour Food and Wine walking tour of Venice. We were very lucky to have the amazing Alice as our guide. She was friendly, enthusiastic, and knowledgeable. She easily navigated speaking 3 different languages in order to accommodate all of us on the tour. She gave us insider's tips of Venice, with a smile.

    It was a great mix of local food that we would have never come across on our own on such a short amount of time. Anna was a wonderful guide, full of knowledge about the different tastings, history of food and even recommendations for various areas. She was also very kind to take into consideration my mom who had some mobility issues. Would highly recommend this tour and with Anna. Thank you Anna!!
