Fantastic evening, Letizia was lovely and had great knowledge of Venice and the food and wine of the area. The people we met were also great company, it was a wonderful way to spend the evening

Our tour guide Asia was amazing. She knew her way around Venice and gave us some history. Asia gave us good recommendations about the food we would sample. She had a great sense of humor and was very pleasant! I highly recommend taking any tour she offers. It is clear that she takes her tours seriously and prepares well for each tour. You won’t be disappointed!

Gloria was lovely, attentive and informative. We visited 5 barcalos, in 4 we had a savoury snack and a drink and in the last a gelato. There were good options to cater for all needs and dietary requirements. A great way of visiting parts of the city you may not find and trying the Venetian ciccchetti.

This tour was absolutely incredible! It ended up just being the four of us and Levi was an amazing tour guide. What we loved most is that we got to choose amongst many (so many!) options at each location. Levi was great at explaining what everything was and we were really able to customize it to our taste. Levi was also so friendly and funny! At each stop we enjoyed wine, spritzes and and delicious food. I would highly recommend this tour and Levi in particular!

The Venice food scene is very unique. Bacaro’s are something we had no idea about, and we were hooked after learning about them. We hit as many as we could after the food tour. So fun!

We had a wonderful time with Beatrice! She gave a great introduction to the delicious food and drinks in Venice. This tour was a great little break and we had fun with our small group
Colleen_F, Jul 2026
Great way to learn about the Venice culture and food. Fun activity to do as a family. Would definitely rexommend it!
Jennifer_S, Jul 2026
We had a great time. Guilia was a fantastic host and guide. It felt like we were hanging out with friends all afternoon. She took us to five amazing spots, and the history and culture that she shared along the way was also fantastic. Each spot had a food selection and a drink selection to share with us the amazing culture from Venice.
We would highly recommend this tour to others.
Michael_E, Jul 2026
This a great walk through Venice eating ciccetties and drinking local wine and sprites.
Levy was a great guide who explained the city and the food culture. We all enjoyed the tour.
Carol_K, Jul 2026
Levy was so much fun on this tour. Highly knowledgeable about the food and drink and it was great to try foods from down little alleyways that you probably wouldn’t even find. She was a very refreshing young lady with a huge personality. Fantastic food that wouldn’t think to combine together. Highly recommended 😊

We took this tour our first night. It was a great introduction to Venice, meet people, and to taste a variety of local food and wine. It was more than enough to be our dinner.
Amy_C, Jul 2026
This 5-stop food tour was a great highlight of our trip. Our guide, Levy, was phenomenal. Her upbeat personality kept the tour fun and engaging, and her patience in explaining the local foods and drink pairings was much appreciated. It’s clear she is a beloved local figure—every shop and eatery we walked into greeted her like family, which made us feel like VIPs. If you want a comfortable, delicious, and authentic taste of Venice, this is it!
Catherine_G, Jul 2026
Excellent tour - went to places we wouldn’t have found on our own. Our guide Levy was great and made it a fun tour.
BRUCE_M, Jul 2026
Tour was fun and the food and drink filling. Our tour guide Levy was wonderful, knowledgeable and had a great sense of humor.
Sharon_F, Jul 2026
Levy was a great tour guide. She was friendly and engaging. She seemed to know everyone around the city when we arrived at the different bars. No scrimping on food and drinks. It was a group of 7 which was great.
Justin_T, Jul 2026
Lots of stops, you’ll leave filled (with food and drink!). Asia knew so much and made us feel like we were getting the typical experience of a local.
Andrea_T, Jul 2026
Beatrice was an absolute gem and pleasure! Although the weather was almost unbearable with the heat wave and humidity, she somehow found a way to travel down shaded pathways. Gave a little history at each stop and made sure we all had a blast. 10/10 would recommend
Yungmi_D, Jun 2026
Our guide was fantastic. It was nice to just have myself, my husband, and one other young lady. It felt very intimate and personal. We got to experience foods that locals would choose to eat versus where the “masses would go“
Sarah_S, Jun 2026
An experience I’ll never forget!
Giuilia was an incredible and super fun guide who helped us achieve a memorable experience in Venice!
The food, her recommendations along with the traditional Venetian food, felt authentic. I would have never experienced this without Giulia!
Brian_H, Jun 2026
This was one of the highlights of our time in Venice! Enricho was an incredible guide—fun, engaging, and made the entire experience enjoyable from start to finish.
One of the best parts was letting Enricho choose the food and drinks at each stop. We got to try authentic Venetian specialties we never would have ordered ourselves, and everything was excellent. It was also great to learn about Italian food traditions and customs from a local—it made the experience feel much more authentic.
If you want to eat like a Venetian and have a memorable evening, I highly recommend this tour. If you get Enricho as your guide, you’re in for a great time!
Rex_E, Jun 2026
We had a nice group experience. It was pretty crowded in a couple of locations, but the guide made the best of it.
Linda_K, Jun 2026
We wanted to know more about the rich culture of Venice, so we decided plan to our first food tour. We went on the 'street food and drinks' tour. We learned so much during our walking tour and felt like we ate like the locals. Asia our tour guide was young and vibrant and super knowledgeable. She was accommodating to our whole group and educated us of the history along with joyous humour to keeps us excited about the stops. I couldn't recommend this group more and our tour guide. It was a bright gem in our Italy trip!
Heather_B, Jun 2026
It was excellent, our guide Mattia was very knowledgeable, they were even able to cater for my partners cheese allergy. Would highly recommend
Karen_F, Jun 2026
Fun activity for family and friends- see the neighborhood and taste the local food. While everything was delicious, a few of the restaurants offered very similar tastings. Guide was knowledgeable and friendly.
Justin_W, Jun 2026
Great Venice culture experience. We'll worth the money. Lots of walking in Venice in general bring good shoes. Oro Benen!
Krista_B, Jun 2026
Amazing tour with food options for everyone. Mattia was a wonderful guide. Highly recommend and have been telling friends
jennifer_k, Jun 2026
Fantastic tour! Delicious bites & sips at every stop. Loved hearing the history of the town and food. Perfect way to start our trip to Venice.
Rebecca_M, Jun 2026
Excellent tour! Riccardo was so knowledgeable and entertaining. Great sampling of food! All of the stops were well thought out.
John_D, Jun 2026
Amazing tour
We booked this last minute after it was recommended by another tourist to us. They said it was the best tour they have done and after spending the evening with Riccardo I absolutely see why.
Fantastic to go to little out of the way spots and taste delicious food while hearing about Venice and having great conversations.
Small group which made connection and chats really fun.
Riccardo was brilliant. I could not recommend this tour more
Tiffany_H, Jun 2026
This was a fantastic tour! Asia was so personable and knowledgeable and took us to places we never would have found on our own. She gave us history, culture, and of course delicious food and wine/spritzers! Our high school and college kids enjoyed it as well. Highly highly recommend!
