Wonderful tour - Our guide Loris was wonderful! He not only took us to wonderful off the beaten tracks places to try food and drinks, he also explained some history and culture of Venice as well. Loris was also super accommodating to the fact that we needed to reschedule our tour time and date due to travel delays. After the tour Loris also told us if we needed anything or had any questions to just text or call him and he would be happy to help. Thank you again Loris!

Alexandra was flexible, knowledgeable and fun - We did a three hour foodie tour with Alexandra. She came to our hotel, asked some questions about what we would like and adjusted on the fly to show us new things. Mixed with learning about Venetian foods was a lot of fascinating history.

Great experience - We had a great day with Olimpia. Great communication to organise and round local spots who were all friendly and keen to let us sample lots of things. Tried all sorts of things we wouldn’t have picked ourselves. Spritz, wine , cicchetti and gelato and good chat round the town.

A Culinary Journey Through Venice’s Heart and History ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ - Our private food tour with Giacomo was an absolutely delightful blend of gastronomy and cultural immersion. Giacomo expertly guided us through various Venetian neighborhoods, using each carefully selected dish as a gateway to understanding the rich history and heritage of this remarkable city. The culinary experience was exceptional—from fresh, locally-sourced seafood that showcased Venice’s maritime traditions to delicate pastries that revealed the city’s artisanal craftsmanship. Each sip of wine and spritz was perfectly paired not just with the food, but with fascinating stories about the neighborhoods we explored. What elevated this tour beyond a simple food experience were the engaging conversations Giacomo facilitated about Venice’s evolution—its storied past, vibrant present, and promising future. His insights transformed each tasting into a meaningful cultural exchange, making the tour both highly informative and thoroughly enjoyable. Giacomo’s passion for his city and its culinary traditions was infectious, creating an atmosphere where learning about Venice felt as natural as savoring its incredible flavors. This tour offered the perfect combination of exceptional food, rich history, and genuine local perspective. We highly recommend this experience to anyone wanting to truly taste and understand Venice. We’re already planning our return visit and wouldn’t hesitate to book another tour with Giacomo to discover even more of Venice’s culinary treasures!​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

A special Friday evening food tour with Olimpia ! - What a wonderful experience with Olimpia. We did the private 10 item tasting and while the foods were excellent……..Olimpia showed us a side of Venice you can only get from a local. I encourage you to do this tour…….you won’t regret it !!!

Food and Wine with a generous Splash of History - Guida helped us discover hidden gems that we would have never found ourselves. She was a knowledgeable tour guide and great company. She made sure that everyone’s needs were met and we couldn’t have asked for a better evening. A perfect blend of history and wonderful food and drinks.

Guide great, but not much food for $125.00/pp - Our guide Giacomo was very knowledgeable about the food, culture, history, architecture. But there is very little food tastings. There were 2 stops, 2 small tastes per person and a drink at each. Total of four small tastings. If you’re looking to taste a lot of foods this isn’t the tour for you. Our guide was great, he provided a lot of info during our 2 hour tour.

Do not go with Viator or With LOCALS for venice FOOD TOUR - Horrible experience. Guide was the worst we have had in 8 countries. We had a private tour for $450 and got spoiled food and a bag of cookies in plastic . Guide lied about where we went and what we ate Fought with Viator ( who hired a guide from WITHLOCALS) for 4 months and finally got a refund. We have had awesome experiences in Rome , Marseilles But Venice was the WORST. It really was a WITH locals guide but Viator refused to get involved. Horrible experience
