5.00We’ve done a few food & drink tours and this had to be the best. Gio’s English was excellent and his friendly manner meant it was a pleasure to hang out with him for a few hours. We tried different and new foods, all good, and the accompanying drinks were perfect. The short walks between courses helped us manage to eat everything! Gio answered all our questions easily and we learnt so much from him about this different area of Venice.
Wonderful tour!

5.00We were blessed to have a private tour. Although this was not by design. Eating Europe tried scheduling us for a different time-frame than the one we booked, but it wouldn’t work with our schedule. This was a BLESSING because we had our guide all to ourselves!! Vanessa was absolutely amazing. Extremely personable and absolutely wonderful pace. A lot of very good information about the food and the history behind it and also much more. It honestly felt like we had a private tour of Venice … with really good quality food and drinks. Halfway through the tour, we found out she was new to eating Europe!! How?!! She was AMAZING.

5.00Vanessa was so personable and instantly felt like I was doing the tour with a friend I was visiting in Venice with and they were taking me to their best local spots. This will forever be a memorable moment in our honeymoon. Vanessa was genuine from the beginning wanting to know more about us and our history, while we learn about Venice and how she ended up here. Couldn’t recommend her more! We will definitely be back to say hi and have another tour!
Great local food tour!
