Additional Information

The Do Eat Better Experience gastronomic journey is a stroll through the historic heart of Venice. A local ‘Foodie’ or ‘buddy’ leads the traveler, elaborating on every aspect of the chosen food spots, their culinary methods, and their associated history or trivia.

Do Eat Better Experience journeys fuse exceptional gastronomy as a method of showcasing Italian culture and way of life, with the ambience of walking hand in hand with a local acquaintance. This is the rationale behind our limitation to smaller groups only - to ensure an authentic exchange and provide undivided attention to each visitor.

Please be aware that our tours are primarily conducted in English and Italian, with other languages being accommodated upon request.

  • May be operated by a multi-lingual guide.
  • Please advise any specific dietary requirements at time of booking.
  • On certain dates, most travelers staying outside of Venice who are planning to visit for the day will be required to pay a €5 access fee. For further details (including exemptions) and to learn what days this fee is applicable, please visit: https://cda.ve.it

FANTASTIC TOUR - We really enjoyed this tour and Valentina was a fanatic guide around the local food spots. She explained all the restaurants and food, and had recommendations, not requirements. It was very cool to be a part of the local spots and be welcomed into every stop. Highly recommend because you will try foods you have never tried before.

Fantastic Tour, Highly Recommend - This tour was amazing and it was so delightful to try foods we would otherwise never try. Each meal came with a beverage and foods to sample. The locals were so nice to our tour group and Valentina made us feel very welcomed at every stop. Valentina was amazing at explaining each restaurant in great detail, the food and drink options, and made it clear that she had recommendations/suggestions not requirements. 10/10 Recommend this tour.

Yummy, Loads of Food/Drink, and Fun! - Valentina as a great guide, and took us to all the best places! The portions were generous and there was a different alcoholic drink if you wanted it at each spot. Would highly recommend to taste and see a nice variety of Venice.

OLIMPIA - the best - We love Olimpia! She was friendly, kind, and thoughtful! I liked that she asked us first of our food/wine preference before ordering when we enter a ristorante/bacaro. I really love this for we have joined a food tour in Rome and the guide just orders without asking. It rained heavily in Venice that the water level rose on our 4th stop (Bacaro). The bar was flooded that we removed our shoes. We didn’t get to go to our last stop, but it was fine! We had sucha good time with the group and Olimpia! Olimpia ordered more wine/drink as a compensation. To be honest, this was the most memorable part of our trip! Grazie Mille Olimpia!
