Excellent food and drink tour of Venice - This tour was so much fun! What a great way to enjoy local food and drink. I am glad we did this tour on day one - now we know what to look for that is local. Loris was a wonderful guide and made this a great experience. We highly recommend this tour.

Authentic Venetian cuisine/beverages from a local expert, along with historical Venetian and Italian cultural history! - This tour offers a variety of fresh Venetian cuisine and beverages such as cheeses, meats, cocktails, gelato/sorbet, fish, seafood, finger food, etc. The tour lasts about 2.5-3 hours walking around central Venice near Rialto bridge and you will go to about 6 different locations with 10+ food/drink samplings. The tour guide Loris is amazing. He is very kind, passionate about Venice, knowledgeable about Venice and Italy and many other subjects he has mastered. The tour schedule is also flexible and laid back. You must have a completely empty stomach to do this tour because you will be given 2-3 meals worth of food/drink and you don’t want to fill up right away. You should be open to trying a few rare items maybe you have never tried before but no worries because Loris will adjust these few items to your preferences and ask if you want to skip it or try other items instead (squid ink, sardines, certain alcohols, for example). Overall a 5/5 tour, a must do.

The Best Way to BITE Venice - This is the perfect way to start your journey in Venice. Alexandra is a local Venetian who journeyed us through local fare at its finest. Soooo many culinary experiences as we ate like a Venetian. We traveled off the beaten path to discover hidden gems where the locals get a quick bite or dine - absolutely AMAZING!!! Alexandra is a beautiful person who shared her passion and heart as she introduced us to local family businesses that we would have never known about or experienced. This tour was our TOP experience while vising Venice and gifted us with a new friend!!!

Amazing tour worth every euro - Giada was an amazing tour guide. She explained so much along the walk and was happy to answer questions and repeat information when requested. She made the tour very personalized and presented options to fit our dietary restrictions. We enjoyed the ability to really learn the Venetian food history as well as the area history.

Amazing tour with Loris - Such an amazing way to tour Venice with our 10 year old daughter and 13 year old son! We tasted the best of Venice at Loris’ favorite locals’ spots that are not in guidebooks. We all learned about Venice’s history, culture and cuisine and would do it again. Would encourage anyone to book this tour. Just do it and you won’t be disappointed. We feel lucky we did!

Disappointed - I thought we would get a culinary tour of Venice and some really wonderful, hidden dishes. Reality was that we stopped at a handful of cafes and entocas and were asked to order what we wanted. No real insight into the food scene, so disappointed there. In hindsight, I’d skip this. Our guide was nice but not really dynamic and I would not do this tour again.
