Perfect food tour! - This is a must do in Venice! Vanessa was a great tour guide - we visited several locations to try local food and wine and ended with a lunch - it was so much food and we were very happy with the tour. The fish market was real cool and our tour guide was very informative along our whole tour through Venice - food and cultural!

Great Food - Great History - This was a great food tour. We were fortunate that there was only 12 in our group so I really appreciated it being a smaller group. You might want to confirm group size when you book as Venice's streets are small so doing a food tour with a large group would be challenging. All of the food stops were excellent. We got to hear about the history of each of the places we visited which was really nice and added a special touch. There was a fair bit of food so you will not go hungry. We did about six stops in total and the size of the food portions were generous for a food tour. We also appreciated that at two of the stops we could sit down and eat. This was a big plus for a 4+ hour tour. We really enjoyed the ability to sit. Would definitely recommend!

A great flavor of Venice! - Ana was a super guide, very friendly and warm, and very accommodating to what we liked or disliked to ensure there was lots to choose from. While the market itself was closed (sun/Mon) she still gave great info on what is available and how the fish is prepared, along with great insights on Venice itself. Come hungry….. we made the mistake of eating breakfast before we came, as there is a lots of food and drink on this tour which got better and better at each stop. Thanks again, really enjoyed it!

Great tour, great guide, great food - Anna was our guide and she was great. She showed us the Rialto Market, taking the time to answer questions about the different kinds of fish and explain to us about Italian artichokes. She then brought us to five different establishments for chichetti, traditional Italian pastry, and gelato, as well as wine and spritzes. I definitely felt like it was a great value for what we paid and a really great way to spend a late morning walking around parts of Venice we otherwise might not have found. One thing I really love about food tours is that you get a glimpse into the lifestyle of the locals. Anna was great about that.

Cicchetti, Wine and History all at once. - This was a great food tour of some traditional Venice Cicchetti and wine tasting. The walk around the Rialto area was fun and informative. Silvia is a great tour guide and gave us lots of history about Venice as well as the food we ate. I would highly recommend this tour.
