Excellent tour. Come hungry. - Denys was a very knowledgeable guide with a great sense of humour. We learned a little of history even tho it was a food based tour. He introduced a lot of food and local drinks to us. Clearly explained the different types of eateries in Venice. We were lucky to be a group of only 5. Great start to our Venice trip. Highly recommend

Denis from Venice! - Denis was a wonderful guide - he was charming, funny, and knowledgeable. Learned a lot. Denis gave us restaurant suggestions in the city at the end of our tour too. Our group was 8 people which was a good number. Stopped at about 6 different places. Denis accommodated people with dietary restrictions and those who wanted something different than the planned tour food with no judgment.

Great way to kick off your time in Venice! - We had such a great time with Vanessa! The perfect balance between history, walking, and food! The food / drinks were plentiful and a nice variety - We were stuffed by the end! We took the tour our first night which was most helpful for the remainder of our stay (knowing what to order, resaurant recommendations, etc). Would definitely recommend this tour!

The Jewish Ghetto was very meaningful! - This was an incredible experience. Our guide was patient and explained everything along the way. The food offerings were great. The tour covered everything, and when it was over our guide walked me the short distance in the extreme heat to my hotel. I would recommend her and the tour to anyone interested in the history of the Jewish Ghetto in Venice.

Eating our way through Venice - I heard our guide's name once and never really understood it, so sorry for not using her name. She was amazing. We signed up for this tout after our chosen tour guide said he was not available. We really lucked out. Our group of nine had an amazing tour and dinner. Five very filling and delicious courses that we tried to walk off as she showed us through the Venice Ghetto and Cannareggio District. We started with a stop at a bakery for amazing almond cookies. By the time we got to the appetizer stop we were ready for more food. The Venician cocktails and little open-face sandwiches were delicious. Our guide made sure there was plenty of food I could eat since I am so allergic to seafood. I was pretty full after this stop. We moved on to a pasta course, fish course and then amazing gelatto all the while seeing interesting places and hearing great stories. We loved it!

History and culture though its cuisine - Great explanation of the history of the ghetto and the people who lived there over the centuries. This was our first time in this part of Venice and we loved walking some of its narrow streets. We also learned about the significance of the food and drink in culture.

Fantastic culinary tour of venice - fThis was one of the best tours we did in Venice. First off, going to different restaurants for each course was phenomenal. They were among the best restaurants we went to in Italy. The guide was informative, entertaining, and delightful. Finally, it was great to see a part of Venice not overrun by tourists. After the tour, we took the guide's suggestion and spent more time in the neighborhood among a very local crowd and amazing sunset views. This tour far exceeded my expectations.
