CANCELLATION POLICY

This experience was horrible from start to finish. The guide herself was fine, but the tour planners created a terrible experience, the worst we have had in a dozen European cities. In any European city, a group of 19 people is much too large for visiting small food and drink providers; in Venice, it is a horrible idea with the narrow alleys and very small places. In this experience, the food and wine was also of a very low quality compared with our experiences in Florence, Rome, Lisbon, Porto, Ireland and other cities.

A very nice guide, who unfortunately had to work with the confines of the fact that there are very few options in Venice for a group of nine to be able to be seated. We were seated at only one stop and did have a very good meal. All other stops were standing in the street having a coffee or wine with small taste of local offerings.

We loved this food tour, great way to learn about Venice whilst trying a variety of delicious food and wine. Sara our tour guide was really knowledgeable, fun and full of nice surprises. The venician mask artisan visit was totally unexpected and a special addition to the tour.

We found some genuine, locally owned and run restaurants, cicchetteria and delis that were great and the best Gelleto in Venice. We learnt some useful tips and advice regarding where to eat and what to avoid as well as some great company during our tour.
Nice small group and all very laid back and fun.

If you are planning a visit to Venice I would highly recommend this tour.

Sara was amazing! Sara was so knowledgeable and taught us so much about Venice's culture and food. She taught us the proper way to eat pasta and find real Gelato. Food and wine was excellent.

My wife and I like the personal commentary on local food. Elena gave “insider” information to find good food.

Our scheduled guide had an emergency and we were notified right away and offered tour that started 30 minutes later Our guide Ana was amazing and gave us so much information about foods and wines. I have a nut allergy and she was careful to make sure I didn't eat nuts and offered alternatives. She gave us cards for most places and 1 even offered discount when we came back later. We were a small tour of 10 & enjoyed meeting others. Great experience. Heard a couple on tour say they will always try to book a local food tour on future vacations.
Well worth the cost & great experience!

It was a fantastic experience. Really great fun. The amount of food you get is amazing, and all of it great quality! Never felt like we were walking miles or ever bored with where we were. They catered to dietary requirements with ease and every stop was wanting to make sure your experience was great. The wine was fantastic at every place and lots of it! One of our party was not drinking but did not feel left out!!
The guide was the best part, Ellie was full of knowledge but made it fun. Always willing to do more and tell you about the family run business she was taking us to.
Would recommend to everyone, best part of Venice so far!
