Amazing! We had so much fun on this food tour. - We recently visited Venice as part of a family vacation and book the street food tour as one of our experiences. It was so much fun. Our guide was Dennis (sorry if that is spelled wrong) and he was excellent. He was very friendly, a great storyteller, and very knowledgeable about the city and food. We visited 5 different locations and tried small appetizers at each. It was a great way to learn about some of the local cuisine, the history of the city, and get a walking tour from a local. We ended the trip with gelato which is always amazing. Definitely recommended for visitors to Venice.

Great, informative, tasty! - Very interesting tour, lovely food! Our guide, Tone, was very knowledgeable. We visited 5 places and walked through the food market, finishing off with an ice cream. In 3 of the places a suitable drink was suggested as accompaniment to the food. A lovely way to learn about the city.

Add to your must do list! - I came to Venice with my daughter and had 3 days fully booked with tours and things to do for us. We walked 25k in one day! When it was time to meet for this tour, we got our calendar mixed up and ended up at the other end of town by accident. I texted the tour guide and she went OUT OF HER way with positivity, telling us where to go and where to meet. We managed to meet them at the 1st food stop and sure enough got our samples to eat as well. This tour turned out to be out favorite one we took! Like I said the tour guide is awesome, so informative, knows so much history and took us to the best spots. Our group of people we were with were all so nice too , we got along easily and had a great time! I highly recommend this tour! Definitly worth the price and deserves a big tip ontop!

Everything perfect!! - Great tour, great restaurants, excellent specialties. Everything was great! Our guide unfortunately arrived late. We were very annoyed at first because we kept getting messages saying the start was delayed, but everything was made up for. Neele apologized and invited us for an "Ombra". That was super nice. The tour with Neele was sensational and I would recommend it to everyone!! You'd never find bars and restaurants like that yourself. Price-performance ratio is top notch! 👍

Perfect Local Food Tour - Our street food tour with Neele was an amazing experience! We learned about Venice and sampled many local foods and drinks. We did not even need dinner after the tour-it was plenty of food.

Dennis from Venice made our tour memorable and enjoyable - A fabulous tour with a range of delicious treats and the optional extras of breakfast wine, angry wine and spritzes! The variety of food was great and we tried things we'd never tried before and we loved the little hidden treasures of bars and bakeries that we visited. We loved the pastries at our first stop and the wide range of cicchettis with delicious toppings but the fried cheese and ham sandwiches were definitely the winning dish for our entire party of 10! Dennis was fun and informative and really made our tour a memorable experience.

nice add on to Venice stay - Agency did good job with us being late. They communicated via WA and were very helpful. Many thanks for that again! Our guide was a little unexperienced, but very kind and really did his best to answer all the questions. Not a highlight of our trip, but I would recommend this experience as a short add on to the stay.
