A must do tour! - My friend and I attended this unforgettable tour. The guide was amazing , friendly and highly knowledgeable. We had a variety of local food and wine that we would have never experienced on our own. The group experience was also highly enjoyable. No food and wine tour is complete without a visit to the Rialto market. We even had a quick gondola ride saving us an expense of a separate ride for the experience! Highly recommend this tour.

Highly Recommend! - Great fun! Highly recommend this tour. Giovanna was our guide and she was wonderful in taking us on a little tour of the neighborhood and then to some really great wine bars. We tried several kinds of wine, a spritz and finished with Prosecco. The food was delicious and substantial enough that we didn’t need dinner.

Perfect First Tour in Venice - This experience was wonderful. We were running a bit late because of travel delays but I was able to get hold of a representative to let them know. The meeting spot was easy to find and our tour guide, Alice, was so knowledgeable about Venice history and food and had a great sense of humor. She even ran next door at one point to get my husband a special cup of gelato when she found out that he couldn't eat the tiramasu because of an allergy. Everything was right on time and the establishments we visited were authentic and ready for our arrival with drinks and food. It was a perfect way to spend our first hours in Venice walking around and getting familiar with the area. We met some wonderful people on our tour and became fast friends. Book this tour!!!!

Great fun evening out - I've been on a few food walking tours and this was one of the best - the guide was excellent - very knowledgeable. We were taken to places we would never have found on our own and had a wide range of different dishes and accompanying drinks. We were only 7 in the group and we had a fun evening - very enjoyable. Would definitely recommend to anyone wanting an interesting evening out in Venice.

Come hungry! - Our guide was so knowledgeable & friendly! She helped us find some hidden gems for food and buying wine locally. Great price for all you get to experience while sampling a copious amount of local fare. It’s a LOT of food and wine so come hungry!

Amazing tour! - We have done food tours in multiple Italian cities, and this one was amazing! Our guide Alice was so fantastic. She not only had a great perspective on food, but also shared so many fun and personal facts about the city as we went around. Plenty of walking, chatting, learning, and even great recommendations for the rest of our stay. This tour was very worth it! It made us more knowledgeable of how to find good food in Venice, and we tried so much food and wine that we never had before.

Very interesting tour - The tour was very interesting. The foods we received were all between 2-7 euros and only received small sample of each wine/spritz.
Luda was very knowledgeable and we learned a lot. Not really sure how they feel about visitors.
Didn't feel what we paid for the food/drink portion was worth the value.
Tour said it ended at San Marco but we didn't it seemed to end early.
Luda was very knowledgeable and passionate about Venice. She was an excellent tour guide :)
