5.00On our short adventure to Venice my husband and I wanted to experience the authentic Venetian cuisine. Anna was our tour guide and did a great job taking our group to small and authentic locations for food and drinks. We loved all of the meals and drinks. Come hungry! It was hard not to finish all of the food, but they all gave us generous portions so we left feeling very full. I cannot recommend this tour enough. It was a great way to be immersed in the culture and getting a little walking tour of the city off the beaten path. It was also wonderful to receive other food and drink recommendations from a local to visit for the rest of our visit.
