Amazing time .U must go!!! - I have been on food tours around the world and this was by far the best. Our tour guide,Sandy,introduced us to foods from other cultures that I wouldn't normally be exposed to. Being a picky eater, I had my doubts, but I ate everything and enjoyed it thoroughly. Sandy's knowledge of the history of Vegas was very impressive,as well. I learned so much from her fun facts and I will always remember the wonderful time we had!!

I Was on a Sugar High! - I have been on a ton of food tours here and in other cities.
They are a great way to learn the local spots and special dishes.
This is my second tour with Food Tours of America. This time I tried a dessert tour. It is the only one in town.
We started with Tiramisu. It was the most authentic Tiramisu I have ever had.
They make it table side, from scratch! We then went to some specialty shops and sampled gourmet shortbread cookies from Hawaii and got a goodie bag of cookies to go. My favorite stop was a great shop that offers gourmet olive oils and vinegars from all over the world. They also have liquors, whiskey, scotch and wines. I tried them all! I even bought some gifts for friends.
The guide was so nice, when I told him my wife and I never tried Carlo's Bakery Cannoli he ran in and bought some for the whole group! We then went to a great Cuban restaurant and tried some authentic Cuban desserts and strong Cuban coffee.
The tour was only two hours but we did a lot. The guide gave us some great local tips of places to go that are not advertised to tourists. He even had some coupon books filled with discount coupons. I would highly suggest trying this tour but do it at the beginning of your trip so you can go to all of the places that Steve recommends. I still have flashbacks of the Tiramisu! Ciao for now!

"Cool" walking tour - The tour was very 'cool" because it was inside! It is held entirely within the Venetian Casino Hotel with brief steps outside under the portico. The desserts were all very good and the guide was very entertaining, informative and catered the tour to us...it was just our party of 4 so was very personal.
My favorite part was the cooking oil/spices shop we stopped in. It was somewhere I would like to visit again.
The desserts were very attractive and good, but most were very heavy with cream (which strangles me) It was fun sitting in the fancy restaurants and being waited on.I'm not a foodie expert and actually love Little Debbie brownies...so as to the quality and realism I couldn't say. But, overall we enjoyed the tour and it was a pleasant way to spend a couple of hours.

Awesomeness - Steve is amazing. He took our 19 person brood on a tour we won't soon forget. The desserts were amazing. The service from the different restaurants was great too. And quite accommodating for those with food allergies. I have gluten sensitivity and Lactose intolerance. The restaurants I couldn't eat the desserts, they had sorbet. Steve was very nice, knowledgeable, and an all order great tour guide. Thank you again!!

Delicious & Delightful! - What a fantastic way to spend an afternoon in Las Vegas! Steve Cuccio was the consummate tour guide with his selections of restaurants and food choices. Steve’s knowledge about all things food and Vegas was delightful and entertaining. I would highly recommend this tour for anyone wanting a taste of the varied cuisines of Las Vegas with a high dose of fun! Can’t wait to do another tour with Steve on my next visit!!

Heaps of thanks to Viator for making... - <p>Heaps of thanks to Viator for making this tour possible for us!!! Despite us calling them at the very last minute to request for the Dessert Tour on a day that it is not operating, they managed to put things together quickly and allowed us one of the best experiences in Vegas!</p>
<p>The guide Steven Cuccio was superb, he's knowledgeable and shared lots of interesting histories and stuff about Vegas, something that we did not expect!</p>
<p>The restaurants he brought us to for the dessert was simply heavenly, especially the unique experience of witnessing Tiramisu being created before ours eyes and savouring it immediately...... priceless! Not to mention the amazing tasting of so many variants of world class vinegars! :-</p>
<p>Having been to Vegas several times, this is indeed one of the best tours and we highly recommend it to all who want to have excite their palates and optimize their time in Vegas over 2-3 hours.</p>

One of the best things I did on my trip! - I'm so glad I signed up for this tour! It was my first time in Vegas and this was a great introduction! I enjoyed learning more about the history of Las Vegas from our tour guide Steve, walking around the Venetian, getting to know others in the group, and of course, visiting restaurants and food shops and taste their wares! We visited places I probably wouldn't have thought to stop into on my own, and I'm so glad we did! I bought several unique food gifts, learned how they craft their products, and have some new favorite places to visit the next time I'm in town.
Be prepared, though- there is a LOT of food on the tour, so pace yourself! It's tempting to fill up on the delicious, fresh tiramisu at the beginning, but try to save space for the other treats along the way!

A Delicious Tour - I recently attended the dessert tour with guide Steve. As it turned out, it was an intimate tour with just myself and my fiancé.
All I can say is that if you like desserts or food in general, you should take this tour. Steve was engaging and informative, mixing in Las Vegas history with tips about the food, both at the places we stopped as well as around town. He showed genuine interest in us as people and the two hours flew by as they would if you were simply having a meal with old friends.
What’s more, the staff at each stop on the tour we’re incredibly friendly, often taking the time to talk about the history of their store and the quality of their food. The walking required was light which makes this tour ideal for just about anyone.
By the way, the desserts sampled were uniformly excellent, from Godiva chocolate to Bouchon macaroons to an incredible tiramisu at the Mercato Della Pecheria. In short, this tour is something that you won’t want to miss. Thanks again to Steve for giving us something special on our trip to Vegas.
