5.00We had the best afternoon with our wonderful guide Gioele! From the pizza to the gelato and everything in between, the food was great at every stop we made along our walk. Seeing the "real" Venice and learning the local history was amazing. This tour did not disappoint. We highly recommend it. Thanks, Joe

5.00What a great experience! Denys was our guide and he did a wonderful job. Don’t plan to eat after the tour because you will be full! Great opportunity to experience the back streets of Venice and local places to grab cicchetti (bites) off food. But it was a lot of food once it was put together. Learned a lot about various drinks and tried them all!! Highly recommend.
Perfecto
