What are people saying about Venice

Great Afternoon in Venice with Antonio
Antonio gave us a wonderful tour of Venice with his perspective as a native Venetian. In addition to a skip-the-lines tour of the Doge's Palace and St Mark's Basilica, he had a number of "surprise" venues he was eager to share. Our tour wrapped up with prosecco and sandwiches in St. Mark's Square. What a great afternoon! Be ready to walk and learn!

Trip with Sara
Our trip with Sarah through the streets of Venice to taste different foods and wines was definitely the highlight of a three week European trip. She took us to about half a dozen different locations having different appetizers, meats, cheeses, pastas, desserts, coffee gelato, and of course wine. It was a trip we would never do on our own and yet in the three or so hours, we saw a great introduction to the city to the culture into the food. If you enjoy food, wine, history, culture, and wanting an education about Venice, this would be a great trip for you

A Wonderful Introduction to Authentic Venice - Thank You Elisabetta!
We took this tour just a few hours after arriving in Venice, and it couldn't have been a better introduction to the city. It was the perfect way to get oriented—not just to Venice's winding streets, but to its cuisine and unique eating and drinking culture. Elisabetta was an exceptional guide and the perfect ambassador for Venice. As a native Venetian with a fascinating background—including studying at Columbia University—she brought incredible depth, warmth, and personality to the experience. Beyond the delicious cicchetti and wine, we came away with a genuine appreciation for Venetian traditions, the bacaro culture, and the pride Venetians have in their city. Visiting neighborhood bacari we'd never have found on our own was a highlight, and Elisabetta's insider tips gave us the confidence to continue exploring beyond the tourist crowds for the rest of our stay. Highly recommended as one of your first experiences in Venice. Elisabetta was also kind enough to help us secure a table for dinner our first night in Venice at a darling 22-seat family run restaurant. Hands down the best tiramisu I've ever had in my life!

An Exceptional Experience!
A wonderful day in Valdobbiadene visiting two wineries to sample the world’s best proseccos. At each vineyard we sampled 4-5 wines (more than we could drink) along with just the right amount of cheeses, meats and pizza. Our tour guide, Riccardo, in addition to being a sommelier, was very knowledgeable of the history of the region and is a true gentleman.

With its strategic position near Italy’s premier Prosecco and Amarone vineyards, the “Floating City” is an ideal base for sampling top Veneto wines. Sip in the city or head directly to the source with these Venice wine tastings in central bacari (traditional wine bars) or the wineries dotting the hills just north and west of Venice. Many wine adventures pair your tipples with nibbles from classic Venetian cicchetti (small bites) to full winery lunches. Skip the hassle of researching producers and arranging transport and instead imbibe stress-free with a guided wine tasting in or near Venice.
