Fabulous Fun, Food and Wine!! - A great day with tour guide, Georgia!! Visited 5 different restaurants, tasted local delicacies with wine pairings. No touristy places - all stops were where the locals go. Education was fun, food great and wine - we loved having local wineries represented in the selections. Highly recommend this tour. Ask for Georgia to be your guide.

Glad we finally tried cicchetti! - We enjoyed the food tour and learning more about the history of Venice. Our guide was Georgiana and she knowledgeable and enthusiastic. We tried many delicious cicchetti and glasses of local wine as well as spritz. Dessert was of course tiramisu. Two thumbs up!

Great food and company - Alice was an excellent food tour guide and we really felt like we learned a lot about Venetian cuisine! It was also a great experience to try a few things we wouldn’t normally have ordered and get outside of our comfort zone.

What a wonderful time we... - What a wonderful time we had with Sylvia and the rest of our group. We would highly recommend this to anyone visiting Venice, especially if it is the first time visiting. We booked this for our first day and it gave us a better understanding of both the lay out of the city and the food/drinks of Venice. It was also fun meeting six other people who were from different parts of Europe. This was so enjoyable!

Fantastic Adventure! - Olympia was my tour guide and she did a fantastic job showing us around and introducing us to local food and drinks. She was funny, engaging, and kept us fat and buzzed, ha-ha! This was a great experience and I am so glad I opted to do it!

Sadly not good value for money - Our hostess was lovely - knowledgable about the area. The food was ok and I suppose as expected basic street food. However unfortunately overall it felt very poor value for money. The tour suggested it would include a pasta or rice dish towards the end - there was none - instead it was all mostly bread based - and not much more than a selection of sandwiches. Very heavy and stodgy. The tiramisu at the end was lovely. The drinks were in general very small. We could have bought the drinks and the food for a few euro each at every stop. We had actually gone on another food tour during our stay in Venice which was a fraction of the price and was much more enjoyable (we could buy our own drinks for a couple of euro each) and much better value for money. For 180 euro for two we could have had a really nice meal out and a lot of drinks!
