Wonderful way to start your visit to Venice - Barbara was an outstanding guide - fun, knowledgeable, and so authentic. She brought us to places where she had been going since she was a child, and knew the owners and their families. Of course we got the best they had to offer. During the rest of our trip we kept saying "these cichetti aren't nearly as good as the ones we had with Barbara." It was such a wonderful way to start our first evening in Venice. We would recommend this to anyone who enjoys good food, strolling through the back streets of a city with a native who will tell you about its history and culture.

Wonderful Experience! - Alessia was a terrific guide! She provided a great deal of information about Venice and the places from which we sampled food. She was very personable. SO MUCH FOOD! And, different from most food tours we’ve taken, we had several alcoholic beverages which were local. Thank you, Alessia for an unforgettable tour!

Great tour with a terrific guide - Terrific tour. The food and wine were delicious, but our guide Barbara was truly the highlight of the tour. She was such a warm and funny person, and I learned so much about Venetian life and Italy in general from her. It felt like having dinner with a local friend. My mother and I really liked the intimate group size for the group as well. There was just 5 of us, so it was just right for good conversation. The food and wine were all delicious. I enjoyed every bite I had. We had tried 6 different ciccheti across 3 stops with spritz and wine, one stop for pasta (the squid ink pasta was delicious), and a final stop for gelato paired with a Venetian made gin. It was a great intro to Venetian cuisine. I wholeheartedly recommend this tour. I just know it’s going to be one of the highlights of our trip.
