Brilliant tour - Alessia was brilliant, super helpful. Highly recommend her as a tour guide. The experience is great if you just got to Venice to find your footing with places that aren’t easily found on TikTok or Google.

Food and Wine to Taste and Fully Satisfy. - Alessia was a fabulous ambassador by presenting this tour in a friendly and passionate way. Her knowledge of the foods and wines we tasted helped create a very rewarding experience. Wonderful variety and the pairings were spot on. A very worthwhile tour to undertake whilst in Venice, presented by a local.

Perfect addition to the St. Marks and Doge tours. - Just the right amount of time- checks all the boxes. Tour started “off the beaten path” on the new street (strada) and wound its way to the southern island (across the Grand Canal). Stopped at several of the local, smaller cafes that we would not have found on our own. Great group of 10 (total) that all integrated well.
