Great Venice tour

Great overview tour of Venice. Our guide was very knowledgeable with a degree in Art History. We learned a lot about the history of Venice. The gondola ride was very enjoyable so I recommend including that in your tour. It was a long day and tiring with all of the information given, but adequate breaks were also worked into the day.

Nanci_K, Oct 2026

Top tour!!!

This was a great tour. Easy meeting location, really great guide (Roberta), and Doge Palace and St. Marks are incredible. So much history to pack into a small amount of time, but Roberta did a fantastic job. We got the highlights, she asked our group several times about their comfort, learned quite a bit from her, and we were can able to take a small break in between the venues. Our gondola ride at the end was a nice way to see and experience traveling through the canals. Overall, great experience!

Venice Pasta & Tiramisu Cooking Class with wine by Cooking Italy

Christina_J, Oct 2026

Its a memory of a lifetime, nothing else has even come close to this class!!!

We did this experience last October when we were in Italy. We are still talking about it because every cooking class that we have taken since then has been a disappointment. This class sets the bar incredibly HIGH for anything that comes after. The teachers were incredibly passionate about what they did, very good at teaching us the Hands-On skills to be able to take the knowledge home and be able to really cook and make homemade pasta. All of the people that were in our class had a great time and we're very friendly. Thank you for helping us make a memory that will last a lifetime!!
