A five star food tour

5.00To qualify, I’ve done food tours all over the world. What I really liked about this one is they took me to a section of Venice that I otherwise would not have gone to. This is a food tour that’s heavy on the tour which I like. If you like seeing parts of Venice, you might otherwise miss, and eat in the process, you will probably like this.

5.00This was our second tour and second region with eating Europe — great time, Dani was our guide and she was a real gem, knowledgeable, cheerful, had great recommendations for outside of the tour, and overall a lovely person to spend several hours with around Venice. Great value for the money, several stops with excellent food and drink, and a sure fire way to have a great night out in Venice.
Delicious, interesting and fun Venice food tour!
