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
  • Please be aware that the guide may speak both in English and Italian during the tour

Fun and interesting - Valentina our guide was excellent, giving us some valuable tips and showing us a less touristy side of Venice with great drinks and a big variety of cicchetti etc. At one of the bars the staff even sang while preparing drinks. Finishing the night with great gelato.

Great experience - We booked a tour and had Carlotta as our guide, a lovely local. She took us to places we had never visited in Venice and gave us a lot of information. The food was delicious! We recommend.

Savory & Splendid 🍤🥖🍷🍧 - Valentina took the 2 of us on a tour with 2 others and it was FABULOUS!!!! We visited 5 different food establishments where we had drinks and delicious cicchetti. Valentina told us about the food along with the establishments themselves. We went to places we wouldn’t have found on our own and can’t wait to eat at again. She was clear, direct, accepting, and humorous throughout the tour. We had more than we could eat by our 4th stop! I highly recommend this tour as a way to meet with a local, ask questions, get some history of the region, eat traditional food, drink local drinks, and enjoy the city. It was most definitely worth the price we paid! Oro Benon Valentina!!!

Venice food tour - Our tour guide, Olimpia, provided us with the best tour in Venice! The food, drinks, and guide were top tier. It was our favorite tour out of our 10 days Italy/Greece trip. Not only was it great food, but an amazing memory for our family!

Average walking around with fights and drinks at various stops. - I’ve been on many food tours, and this is my Least favorite. We just simply walked from place to place and were giving drinks and bites of food without much explanation. Our guide was more interested in drinking herself than really showing us around. Well, she was nice and did offer some recommendations. When asked there was nothing special about this tour.
