What are people saying about Venice

Janie_P, Oct 2026

Marianna! Best Guide and walking food tour!

We had a most enjoyable evening with Marianna our guide. She was a local with great information, fun antics, and really made our evening most enjoyable. We went to many local establishments that we would not have seen without her. The food was excellent and we got to see parts of residential Venice, where the locals hang and know the best places to eat. Marianna was probably one of the best guides we have ever had! There was a lot of walking involved, but it was worth every step. More than enough food, wine, and desserts included. I highly recommend this tour.

Our guide was very knowledgeable and informative. She asked if anyone had questions and took the time to answer them completely. She was very considerate of some in our group that had some mobility issues and often asked if they were ok. I would recommend the guide (I can’t remember her name now) wholeheartedly.

Helped me see Venice in a different light!

This tour was excellent! 100% worth your time. Our guide was so unbelievably knowledgeable and enthusiastic about the Basilica, the Doge's palace, AND the history of Venice in general. We took this tour on our second day in the city, and she really helped me see the city in a different (and much better) light. Our tour started in St. Mark's square, and then we went into the Basilica. We got to go up to the terraces, which is absolutely worth it for the amazing views. Then we went into the Doge's palace. We had about a 10 min break to use the bathrooms. The palace was crowded, but our guide did a great job of navigating us through the masses to show us the highlights and tell us the stories. She also took the time to answer all of our questions and make sure that everyone could hear and understand. We had a wonderful time on this tour, and I highly recommend it!

Incredible Food and Host!

Me and my partner arrived and were kindly greeted by Giovanni. He has a lot of knowledge on good restaurants to try, different ways to make tiramisu, and lots of tips when cooking.

You will laugh with others in the class and meet great people! The food came out so delicious! And I would come back just to hangout with Giovanni! Great teacher and host!

We had just one day in Venice before our cruise, so we booked this tour to get a great overview of the city rather than wander aimlessly on our own.
