Well worth investment- Do this in Day One - Vanessa was fun knowledgeable and informative. she had great situational awareness, our group was always together yet out of the way of other travelers. the tour exposed us to food and restaurants we would have missed and helped us choose food for the duration of our stay. It was well worth the time and $$ and doing this on Day one helped us navigatefor the rest of our vacation.

Don’t miss this - Anna was an enthusiastic, informative and really fun guide. We appreciated being introduced to native venetian foods and learning some venetian culture from someone raised there.

Delicious food samples - Vanessa was great! She had a lot of great information for us about Venice. We loved sampling the food and exploring the canals. We stopped at 5 places with a small sample at each stop. It was the perfect introduction to Venice.

Great food well priced! - Well worth the money! Anna was an incredible host and the food we tried at each destination was delicious and varied. A great way to try some new places you wouldn't have found other wise, so good we ended up going back to two of them the next day.

Great tasting and socializing experience!! - Great tasting experience! Most all of the tastings were on bread which was very filling so we didn't need dinner after that. It was nice for the children in the group to get pizza for one of their tastings! The Ombre's and Spritz's we tried were also wonderful and our guide did a wonderful job and gave us suggestions of other local places for meals while we were there. It was great having a smaller group so we got to meet people from other countries and states!

Great for a family with teens - We were on a family trip with our 17 and 20 yr old sons. We all had fun on our walking tour. Our guide, Tone, was very knowledgeable about the area and gave us good information about Venice and the history of the area. The food was good and a nice variety. We stopped at 5 places and also a fish and produce market. Some were a little more adventurous than others but even our picky eater had a fun time. It was a great way to explore Venice a little more. Highly recommend!

Great local food with a dash of history - No pizza or pasta here! We were able to try some real local Venetian foods, and the guide was extremely well-versed in Venetian history. He was also personable, easy to understand, and set a pace that was easy for everyone in the group to follow as we moved between food spots. The places we stopped were incredibly authentic, with locals coming in and out as we tried the different cuisines. Great tour - definitely recommend!

Nice tour, okay food - Denys from Venice was a funny and knowledgeable tour guide. We really appreciated a local’s tour of Venice. Walking through the streets of Venice is always magical. While not included, the wine was quite cheap and Denys had excellent recommendations. Positives: Excellent and cheap drinks, funny tour guide, plentiful food and options. We definitely ate our full and did not need to have dinner. Areas for growth: honestly, the food was just okay.
