Evening of tasting and fun. - 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 - 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

I’d do this again - 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.

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