Wouldn’t have gone to these places otherwise! - We had a great experience with Tone! It was just the two of us with him and we are happy we did it because we wouldn’t have gone to some of these places otherwise. Nice to also get a history lesson of places we passed by as well.

Great price and perfect selection for drinkers and non-drinkers alike - Denys was a wonderful guide, the information shared was interesting and fun; locations visited charming and yummy; and AMAZING price for the experience. Several other experiences on-line were listed for significantly more but they also mentioned cocktails and one of us in our party doesn’t drink. This ended up being perfect because there were plenty of opportunities to pair tasting with cocktails for those that wanted them (at their own cost). Pro tip: do NOT eat before you go - there is so much food and although you walk off the calories you won’t be hungry for even a moment

Fun Walking Food Tour - It was a great way to experience off the beaten path Italian foods in quaint, little shops and restaurants & see a few sights. Walking is such a great way to really take in a city. It was a very chilly January evening in Venice for our tour but our guide was interesting & we had a great time!

Fun and delicious! - It was a fun and informal tour. Our guide, Denis, was friendly and knowledgeable. The food was delicious and far more abundant than I had imagined. We were both pleasantly full afterwards. Would definitely recommend to friends and other travellers

A Lovely Way to Discover Venice - Vanessa was both knowledgeable and friendly, making the tour engaging from start to finish. The walk was easy-paced and gave us the chance to explore different parts of Venice while learning about its culinary culture and local food traditions. A lovely way to experience the city.

Poor gastronomic quality. - The guide explained the experience well.but the quality of the food is low and does not correspond to the description of the contracted activity, besides the sites are not the typical places to eat.
