    Anna was wonderful! Her enthusiastic spirit made the tour fun, in addition to all of the delicious treats she introduced us to and the hidden restaurant gems she took us to. This is a must-do, especially at the beginning of your stay, so that you know how to eat for the rest of your trip. Highly recommended!

  • This food tour was so much fun!

    The Eat Like A Local 3-hour food tour was one of the highlights of our time in Italy, let alone Venice, and a huge part of that was our guide, Sara. She was really wonderful… pleasant, knowledgeable, and genuinely entertaining. Honestly, she was probably one of the best tour guides of our entire vacation through several cities in Italy. Sara led us to local spots that she personally frequented, explaining Venetian food traditions, ingredients, and customs along the way. Every stop felt thoughtfully chosen, and her passion for Venetian culture really came through in an educational yet fun way. This tour was a very nice way to experience Venice. Highly recommended for anyone who loves food and wants a deeper, more authentic experience of the city.

    Nice evening with Martina who introduced us to the gastronomic places of Venice and gave us very good advice. The quality of the wines leaves much to be desired but it is not his fault! Thank you very much to Martina

    We had a fantastic tour tasting some wonderful local food and wines in places you would never find by yourselves. We happened to be the only people on the tour so had the experience and knowledge of our local guide Marianna all to ourselves. She was extremely friendly and personable so it felt like you were having a bimble with a friend not a guided tour!

  • Wonderful food tour

Martina was so kind and welcoming, she put us all at ease. Everyone one the tour was nice and friendly. Highly recommend. Also, they were able to accommodate my dietary needs with some wonderful alternative foods.

    If you want a bit of Venetian education you should definitely do this. Our guide Marianna was fab, so knowledgeable about Venice as she was born and raised, but also lived in the UK for a number of years. A really great experience, good food, good wine and really interesting people

    On our second night in Venice, we decided to book this food tour and it was an experience I will cherish for the rest of my life. Our tour guide was Marianna, who was an absolute gem! She was so informative, personable, and hilarious. Not only did she take us to local authentic Venetian restaurants and bacaros, but she also taught us so much about Venetian life and culture. This tour was an absolute delight, I highly recommend to anyone who wishes to not only enjoy some INCREDIBLE food but to be able learn and appreciate beautiful Venice and its marvelous heritage.
