Lovely Tour, Even Better Tour Guide! - Giuila was an absolute delight on our tour. Not only did she teach us massive amount about Venice, Italy, and of course the food, but she truly, became a friend by the end of the tour. She was great. And we will refer everyone we know to do this too! A true pleasure!

Best Food Tour Ever - From the moment we met Giulia, it was clear we were in for something special. Her warmth, enthusiasm, and deep knowledge of Venetian culture made this tour the absolute highlight of our trip. Giulia didn’t just guide us through the charming streets of Venice—she brought the city to life with stories, local legends, and historical insights that made us feel truly connected to the place. The food was incredible—a perfect blend of traditional dishes and hidden gems we never would’ve found on our own. Giulia clearly has a passion for both food and history, and her connections with local vendors made the experience feel authentic and personal. Each stop was better than the last, and she catered everything to our tastes and pace. We left the tour with full stomachs, happy hearts, and a newfound appreciation for Venice that we’ll carry with us forever. Giulia is an absolute gem—if you’re visiting Venice, do not miss the chance to tour with her. You will not regret it!

Don’t miss this amazing food tour! - We did 4 Venice tours and this tour with Barbara was our favorite! Barbara has a great personality and we loved trying all the food with her. The cicchetti were delicious! We even went back to the places she showed us the next day. She also gave us a great recommendation for dinner. Thank you, Barbara and thank you LivTours!
