Excellent

Our guide, Jennifer, was very easy to find, as expected, in front of the church. We'd hot footed it across town from the station (about 20 mins walk) after finding the vaporetto far too busy for us to get on. Jennifer was friendly, knowledgeable and made the tour very fun with some fantastic snippets of information too. We were so impressed with the food we sampled. We were expecting just a small nibble at each venue but no, we received very generous samples and we were extremely impressed. Highly recommend this tour!

We had an amazing food tour with Ludovica. She was extremely knowledgeable not only in Venetian delicacies, but also in all things “Venice”. She was also very accommodating to our allergies, likes & dislikes. And above all, she was passionate about food and was very interesting to listen to.

This tour was spectacular, and our guide Orsula was amazing! We learned a lot of history and discovered many great food spots popular with locals. The limited walking was perfect given the hot weather. This is a very organized company and I would highly recommend. I do food tours in every country I visit and I was impressed.

I don't like seafood, should still take this tour?
