Spritz and Gelato Tour - Directions to meeting place was clear and our guide (Olympia) was fantastic. Very informative, provided us with the historical details but also explained things using examples and events that we were familiar with. She also provided her personal experience of the places we visited. Olympia, a gelato expert also provided us with how to recognize a good pistachio gelato. Thanks

Marina: Cicchetti, Wine, and Spritz Tour - Marina is an astounding tour guide. She is very knowledgeable about everything she is presenting and giving to you. It was more fun because she made the group feel like a family and she has the best attitude and is always open to answering your questions, regardless of what they are. I would totally recommend taking this tour and getting Marina because she was absolutely amazing.

Quiet-side of Venice. - Marina, our guide, was absolutely marvelous and knowledgeable about Venice. She was an absolute delight. Our train to Venice arrived one hour late (45 minutes late for the tour start), and Marina accommodated our new schedule with grace and kindness. She answered all our questions. Great tour, even better guide (Marina), highly recommended to new visitors.

Marina is great!!! - We had a tour that turned into a private experience since we were the only people who signed up. We met Marina and she showed us the best Bacardi (Tappas, Wine, Spritz, and Gelato) in the Jewish Ghetto in Venice. Such a pleasant experience!

Delicious and Educational - I'm so glad I did this with my mom. We learned so much about how things were like in Venice when Nazi Germany was on the rise. Truly tragic and horrific time in human history. The food and wine was delicious. Our guide was wonderful and charming. She introduced me to my new love of Campari! Not to mention, she ended the tour with ice cream. We would do this again. Highly recommended.
