Really enjoyable tour at a great price. - Dany was a great tour guide and these food tours are the best way to kick off any holiday. Lots of information about the area and a variety of interesting things to eat, everything was delicious. Lots of interesting areas and squares to walk through. For the price this was great, seen some other tours for twice the price per person and we felt that we didn't miss out at all. Highly recommend.

Brilliant! Food, culture & history. A real highlight of our trip. - Denis was the perfect tour guide. I always try to book a small group food tour as part of any city break. They are usually one of the highlights and this was no exception. I would recommend not having too much, if anything, for breakfast as there is A LOT of food to try. Take some money to try the recommended wine pairings too. The small group ensures everyone can ask questions. Would definitely recommend.

Tasty - We met our guide Tone at Statue Bartholomew. We walked locally for 2 hours stopping at places to sample cheese, wine, gelato and street food. About 8 stops along the way. Very scenic around Rialto bridge. Very nice tour an guide but the real treat was the food and price. We would have spent more just going out to lunch without a tour. Very good value for the price.

Try delicious food ‘off the beaten track’ in Venice. - Excellent tour, delicious food & a lovely walk around less-visited areas of Venice. Our guide also gave good recommendations for drink pairings alongside the food we were trying.
