A nice Venice eating and drink experience

5.00Gioele (Joe) provided an excellent overview of Venice history and the local cuisine. The restaurants were off the beaten path and local haunts, which made it a nice experience. We had a nice mix of local cuisine that was excellent, which was also a sufficient amount of food and drink unique to the area. Joe was an excellent and knowledgable guide, and explained things well. My only recommendation is that it be less rushed in a couple of places since there was 30 minutes left of the advertised time by the end.
Enjoy getting to know Venice through food with a voice of a wonderful local guide!

5.00Irene showed us a fabulous five stops today throughout Venice. We enjoyed eating like a local, sampling delicious cicchetti, risotto, wine, and gelato - all with a bit of Venice history woven into the conversation. The pace was perfect - a nice walk between bites - and plenty of time to talk and enjoy the food and the company. We would do this again in a heartbeat!
