A Taste of Venice: Squid Ink and Tiramisù - I had a wonderful time on this tour. Beatrice was friendly, welcoming, and made us feel comfortable right away... The cicchetti and wine were both excellent, just like the company, and I really appreciated having some choice in what we drank: from a light lovely white Soave to a very good and full bodied dark red Valpolicella, sparkling Prosecco to Aperol or Select Spritz. Bea explained the different wines really well, and you could tell she knew what she was talking about! It was also my first time trying pasta al nero di seppia, a local dish made with squid ink, and I loved it. What I enjoyed much is that it felt like more than just a cicchetti and wine tour: between stops we saw beautiful parts of Venice, and each place had its own atmosphere. We laughed, chatted, and enjoyed the food together, which made the experience even more special. The tiramisù at the end was delicious too. Thank you for such a lovely experience!!

Great Tour! Anna was THE best ever!!! - We had Anna as our tour guide and she was in a word: AMAZING!!! From the minute we met, I felt so welcome…almost like family! She took her time to explain the history behind all of the food and wine we indulged in and her energy was contagious! If you ever visit beautiful Venice, Italy and want a tour and history from a local with pride in her community and culture, choose Devour Tours and ask for ANNA!!! You won't be disappointed!

Excellent Local Food and Insightful Guide - Maria C. delivered an outstanding Venice food tour — authentic dishes, quality wines, and sharp local insight. The stops were well chosen, the pacing smooth, and the experience felt genuinely local rather than touristy. Highly recommended.

Not Worth the Money or Time - A waste of time and money. We've been on many Food & Wine tours and this one ranks at the bottom. To be honest, it is hard to believe the other reviews. Our guide was so unenthusiastic that we wondered if she wanted to be there. The "food" was just okay, with one exception. Each stop offered two small bites each, with the exception of a nice charcuterie platter. Our dessert was a cup of mediocre gelato while we stood on the sidewalk. Spend your $200+ euro elsewhere.
