Marina: Cicchetti, Wine, and Spritz Tour - Marina is an astounding tour guide. She is very knowledgeable about everything she is presenting and giving to you. It was more fun because she made the group feel like a family and she has the best attitude and is always open to answering your questions, regardless of what they are. I would totally recommend taking this tour and getting Marina because she was absolutely amazing.

Quiet-side of Venice. - Marina, our guide, was absolutely marvelous and knowledgeable about Venice. She was an absolute delight. Our train to Venice arrived one hour late (45 minutes late for the tour start), and Marina accommodated our new schedule with grace and kindness. She answered all our questions. Great tour, even better guide (Marina), highly recommended to new visitors.

Marina is great!!! - We had a tour that turned into a private experience since we were the only people who signed up. We met Marina and she showed us the best Bacardi (Tappas, Wine, Spritz, and Gelato) in the Jewish Ghetto in Venice. Such a pleasant experience!

Delicious and Educational - I'm so glad I did this with my mom. We learned so much about how things were like in Venice when Nazi Germany was on the rise. Truly tragic and horrific time in human history. The food and wine was delicious. Our guide was wonderful and charming. She introduced me to my new love of Campari! Not to mention, she ended the tour with ice cream. We would do this again. Highly recommended.

A must to learn about Cicchetti and Cannaregio - Alice did a fantastic job educating us on the history of the area and the current day trends. We went to two Cicchetti bars and they were delicious. Alice explained the different types of spritz’s and we tried the local Select which was very good. We finished with a stop for some amazing gelato - the dark chocolate and pistachio was a must. Alice’s knowledge and passion really came through and made this for an exciting evening. She made the tour very relaxing and it felt like we were out with a friend. A must do to get to know Cannaregio area and learn about Cicchetti and spritz.

Fab start to holiday - The best start to our trip in Venice. Booked this for the day we arrived. It gave us a feel for the place and some good tips from the guide. Silvia was great with lots of knowledge on the history of Venice. She took us to some great places to eat and drink local rather than tourist places. Definitely recommend.
