Beatrice was great guide-...

Jen_F, Sep 2025

Beatrice was great guide- able to change as needed on the fly for the best of the group. Great knowledge of the area, delicious foods & drinks. We ended up going back to one of the stops because we enjoyed it so much. Glad we did this tour.

The variety was limiting...

Elizabeth_K, Jul 2025

The variety was limiting and we didn’t sit down at all. I was hoping we would have had a table at a few of the establishments.

Good food in Venice

Janet_G, Jun 2025

Out of the way dining venues provided delicious food. Our guide took us to her favorite places for authentic Venetian food.

Late plane arrival from US prevented me from attending. Request refund.

David_B, May 2025

I was unable to attend due to late international airplane arrival. Requested refund but received no answer.

Good food and drink

John_Y, May 2025

Excellent guide , food and drink choices were excellent.we had a lot of fun. I would highly recommend it.

Evening of tasting and fun.

Suzanne_C, May 2025

There was a mixup on dates. Double check times and dates after you book. All ended well because we went the next day. Our guide was charming and fun. Emma took us to fun places, and the food and drinks were delicious. We ended with gelato. A favorite of mine.

Great way to explore Venice

Catherine_M, Apr 2025

We had an awesome tour, visiting five different restaurants throughout Venice. Our guide was sweet and engaging. We had a great group of people on our tour. I do have two recommendations: 1. limit the number of choices at each restaurant to 2-4 choices. 2. give more history of the area with each restaurant and why the food is important to the region. That being said...I highly recommend this wonderful way to explore the food and area of Venice

Energizer Emma

Pamela_S, Nov 2024

Emma, our tour guide was AMAZING! What a gem! Our whole group ranging in age from 20-80 had a wonderful experience. Yummy food, good drinks and great conversation.

I’d do this again

Ira_W, Oct 2024

More than surprised how Viator pulled through. We traveled from Zurich and the weather was forecasting rain. We were wondering how this tour was going to happen when we learned that our tour guide called out sick. But it worked out. Viator was able to find another tour guide, Emma, who was absolutely amazing. She took us to five different stops. Told us about the goods we could choose out what she chose. Different recommendations for drinks at each place were available as well. The food was great presenting a great way to start this leg of our journey. Time was spent at each location so we never felt rushed with an explanation of the restaurant and the food we would have. The night was finished with dessert. Emma was the perfect guide. Her outgoing personality got everyone engaged in the evening. We asked her if there was an especial restaurant we could go to to celebrate our anniversary ands the next day she texted over recommendations. My wife and I could not have been more pleased with this event. Thank you Viator and thank you Emma.

Drinks, Cicchetti & Gelato Fun!!

Dana_S, Oct 2024

Enrico took us on such a fun journey to the local hotspots for traditional Venetian cicchetti. He was very happy to answer questions along the way! Loved learning about the various spritz's and how to select the best gelato!

Eat like a Venetian!

Michelle_H, Sep 2024

Enjoyed eating where the locals do! Olympia, our tour guide, was informative and personable. We had a wonderful group and made new friends !

Response from Host, Sep 2024

Hi! We’re glad to hear that you had a great time with your Host! We hope to see you soon at another Eatwith table, either in your hometown or during your travels!

Fun, delicious

Courtney_T, Aug 2024

Olympia was great! Very funny and taught us a lot about Venetian and Italian culture. Food was delicious, and she offered to get us different things if we did not like what she brought out!

A fun, easy way to learn more about Venice with Anita!

Diane_F, Jul 2024

Anita was a very friendly and knowledgeable host! We had a wonderful time and tried a nice variety of foods special to Venice. I was relieved that nothing including pasta or pizza as we are quite tired of these foods after 10 days in Italy so it was special to try different samples! A bonus was all the interesting information we learned about each food and drink! Highly recommend!

A fun food tour in Venice

Jamie_F, Jul 2024

This was a small group food tour that was a lot of fun right from the beginning. Emma was our tour guide and she has a fun and sparking personality. She gave us lots of choices of what we wanted to try and talked a lot about the history of the food and city. She made the food tasting a lot of fun. I highly recommend the tour.

Lots of alcohol

Deborah_S, Jul 2024

Unfortunately we were not happy. The description does not explain that this is only appetizer style with lots of alcohol no really quality focused. Our guide Emma was so perky and went out of her way to try to make us happy however she could not change what was offered. We always say we have an unlimited food budget and this tour was way over priced for the offerings

Response from Host, Jul 2024

We strive to provide accurate descriptions of our tours and will review this listing to ensure it better represents the experience.

Our guide was amazing. She responded immediately thru chat when we could not locate her.. so very appreciated. She facilitated the group well and was informative. Definitely recommend her services.

Awesome food tour

Vita_J, Mar 2024

We were a small group (4 of us) & Emma was AMAZING!!! We had a blast…she even taught us how to say “may I please have some gelato!”… Posso avere del gelato?.

Response from Host, Nov 2023

Dear Thomas, We’re glad to hear that you had a great time with Marta! See you soon at another Eatwith table, either in your hometown or during your travels!

Back street buffet tour.

Elizabeth_W, Oct 2023

Emma was an excellent host, guiding us through a selection of eats and drinks, finishing up with a sweet treat. The food range was great and all our needs were catered for. A special treat was that most places were in quieter streets that we had not discovered on our own. Would definitely recommend this.

Response from Host, Oct 2023

Hi Elizabeth, Thank you for writing this amazing review! We are so happy to hear that you enjoyed your dining experience with Emma. Food has a special way of creating magical moments like this one! We hope to see you soon at another Eatwith table.

Worth every penny

Cheryl_S, Jul 2023

Marta was engaging and knowledgeable. Brought us to places we never would have found on our own. It was a perfect slice of Venetian life

Response from Host, Jul 2023

Hi Cheryl_S, Thanks for your great review! We’re delighted to hear that you loved your Eatwith experience with Marta - we know they feel the same way! Happy travels, we look forward to hearing about your next Eatwith!

Our guide was very knowledgeable and enthusiastic. The tour gave us an insight into the Venice food scene and how it compares to the other regions in Italy. We had a great time and met some very nice people.
