Wonderful experience in Venice 🥂 - What a fabulous tour, everything was really interesting and wonderful to hear about, and experience, the food and wine. Frederica was the perfect host - can't wait to do again (2 da. Venice is the most magical place, hence spending our Honeymoon, the Millenium and our 30th Wedding Anniversary there.

Top Food Experience in Venice - What an amazing tour! We generally do a food/walking tour on our first day in major cities/regions and this one was of our best experiences ever! Federica not only gave us a fantastic introduction to the food and drink culture of Venice, but she also covered other important topics such as history, architecture, culture, transportation, geography, economics and beyond so it was a total package. She was such a lovely person, easy to talk to and receptive to all our questions.....we learned so much and by the end of the tour we had all kinds of local recommendations and advice for the rest of our time in Venice. An absolute must-do tour when in Venice...Grazie Fede!!!!❤️

A great tour - As a solo traveler I signed up for this tour to immerse myself in the local culture, the guide did not disappoint. She was knowledgeable, personable, and engaging. The information she was able to provide not only about the food and drink but about the city and its history as well was quite interesting. She went out of her way to make sure everyone in the group was included and answered everyone’s questions.

A must do in Venice ! - This tour will answer all your questions about where to eat and what to order in Venice! The level of detail given in this tour is amazing due to the small size of the group. We left the tour with a strong understanding of what to order in Venice restaurants, places to eat and what to look out for in our trip! If you are considering this tour it’s a must and was a highlight of our trip to Venice.

Quaint Tour with Local Female -- a little too pricy - It's nice to have a young female guide who lives in the city and even knows people on the street. Federica was very informative about the food and sights. She is very sweet and kind and patient, and sayed with us beyond our 2-1/2 hours. We were the only attendees on a very cold January morning, so it ended up being a private tour. We walked all around the city and visited 3 bacari. They were all quaint and enjoyable (except the first one was doing construction work at 11am and gave me a headache. My suggestion would be to go to a different location and have a back-up plan ready.) We had 2 cicchetti and 1 drink at each bacari (you can order whatever you like and don't have to try things you don't want.) After the 1st bacari, we rode the gondola traghetto across the canal for €2 to the fish market. It's a public gondola with a few benches to sit on with a Venetian man steering the gondola. It was disappointing that the fish market was closing as we arrived. We still got to see a few things, but I suggest the guide notify the attendees beforehand if this should happen again. It's nice to know what to expect from your tour and what you are paying for. There were a few disappointments and this is why I don't think the tour is worth the cost. I carefully read through every food tour in Venice on Viator and I chose this tour which was an extra €30 per person for 4 things: 1)wine is included, 2)a ride on the gondola, 3)360-degree views of the Grand Canal from a panoramic terrace, and 4)a hidden courtyard. But I came to realize that if you book a tour where wine is not included, you will only be paying €4-6 per glass and that way you don't have to order wine at every bacari. The ride on the gondola was fantastic even though it was only a few minutes long. A gondola ride can be very expensive, and we would not have found this if it weren't for Federica. Sadly, we were not taken to the 360-degree view or the hidden courtyard. I would have liked to have a glass of Doc prosecco inside a hidden courtyard. When I realized it the next morning, I messaged the guide and asked for directions so we could go there. The 360-degree view was in a department store that is no longer open, and we were not shown the hidden courtyard because it was too cold. I suggest that these items be removed from the tour description or at least have a special winter description. When I looked online today, they were still there. Over all, I loved the tour, and would only recomend it if the price was lower.

No market - I really wanted to go to the market to see the produce etc. that is why I signed up for this tour- it was supposed to include time roaming the stalls. But we didn’t go there. The wine, the walk, the ciicette were good but I missed seeing the market
