A gracious and fun host - We had a wonderful time. Giulia was a gracious host and an amazing cook. This was our best and final tour for the week.

Cesarinewgreat/Viator not so much - Betty and I loved our time spent with Barbara, our cesarine. She was personable showed us how to pick certain items and why and demonstrated some of her techniques. Our issue is with Viator. Viator contacted us asking us to change the time of this experience. So we did as they asked. But Viator continued to send us reminders of the original time and place, not the rescheduled time and place. This became very frustrating as the reminders were relentless and continuous. So even though we changed the time and place at Vustirs request, they never acknowledged that we had made the changes.

Interesting tour with Barbara through venice and a lovely evening with good food - We startetd our Tour with our host Bartbara at the Market and stopped at different local stores on our walk to her home. We got along very well and were very interested in what she told us about venetian food. She showed us things, that we would never have discovered by ourselfs. Cooking with her was fun and very informative. We had a very lovely and chatty evening with her. She also gave us a lot good recommendations for activities/restaurants for our next days in Venice. We highly recommed this expirience to evereyone! (preferably on an early day on your vacation so you got a nice start of your stay in venice)
