Excellent 2.5 hours food tour - Actually, I need to say that the described tour was cancelled; I ended up taking the “food tour”, 2.5 hrs I am glad it was switched; it was perfect. Ans was very knowledgeable, passionate and very funny. Being still jet lagged, I think the other tour would have been a bit long Great tour if you want to experience and learn about Venitian typical food Loved it

Great trick! - Must do at the beginning of the stay. Guide Julia gives plenty of tips to experience real Venetian cuisine and not end up in tourist traps. It gives a lot of cultural and culinary information.

Flavorful food, fun times, and new experiences! - Our guide Ana was extremely friendly, knowledgeable, and engaging!! We had a small group so it was easy for us to move around the city and to hear everything that Ana had to say. The food we sampled was delicious and the various places we visited were very charming. My husband and I would definitely take this tour again!

Must do - I have done a few food tours, and this one was by far the best. Our tour guide Dennis was amazing. We had plenty of food and drink throughout the tour along with some great information about the city. I would highly recommend using this company. go to this tour hungry because there is delicious food and drink

Fun day! - Our tour guide, “Denis from Venice”, was very personable! He gave us background about the food, the store owners, and the areas we visited. This is a great way to get to know Venice and the culture!

Great tour! - Wonderful tour! Denys was so kind and knowledgeable. Never felt rushed. We had some great food that even my picky husband really enjoyed. We were able to see the "real" Venice - he showed us some tiny places that we never would've found on our own. Highly recommend!

Yummy - The food and wine was amazing. And there was plenty of wine. The tour through the market was enjoyable and informative. If you have a few days in Venice then make sure to do this early and you will want to return to some of these places.
