5.00Joe was knowledgeable, and friendly. He taught us about customs and history and took us well off of the beaten paths. The food was fun to taste (a lot of carbs) and very filling. My favorite foods were in the Jewish ghetto and the gelato. (And the proseco and Merlot).
Anna’s Beautiful Tour

5.00Anna was the best tour guide we’ve had this trip. She really used her background of being a life long Venetian and gave you the best spots off the beaten bath that tourists would not think to go. She was charismatic and funny and thoroughly enjoys her job. She made our experience truly amazing would definitely recommend not only Eating Europe, but specifically Anna.
Amazing Food Tour

5.00Anna was our tour guide and she was phenomenal! She is a local and gave us so much insight not only in the local cuisine, but the neighborhood we were exploring. We will definitely be doing more food tours with Eating Europe! We would love to come back and see Anna again as well!
Excellent and memorable

5.00Fantastic tour: excellent guide (Joele), generous portions, fantastic wine options. Just enough history to contextualize everything we saw, grazie mille. An additional bonus: another tour guide (a student) joined us, we had opportunity to learn from another learned Italian. Keep up the great work!
Great tour

5.00A wonderful experience. An excellent blend of sightseeing, history and, of course, great food and drink. Off the beaten path and authentically Venetian (rather than touristy). Our guide Irene was marvelous. I would certainly do it again and recommend it to anyone.
