Still thinking about this tour with a smile on my face - Denys is full of personality and the street food tour he leads is full of interesting history and delicious food.  Thanks in part to the time between “courses” (and also the walking between  them) we found it to be a perfect amount of food.  The tour is structured for pallets of varying degrees of comfort and adventure: you will be given choices to make along the way that range from safe and familiar to bold and exotic.  We highly recommend this tour as an introduction to first time visitors to Venice as you will come away with a history lesson, some good restaurant recommendations, and if you go early enough you’ll have time for a little grocery shopping at the end.

We loved this! - Fantastic tour with wonderful tour guide Anna. We loved the stops at the food places and learning more about food in the Venice culture. We tried things we may not have otherwise tried and really enjoyed it. Would recommend

Great value, fascinating history, delicious food, and company! - If you are wondering about this tour, then just book it!!! The food was delicious. This is street food, and I loved eating like a local. We would never have found these places or been brave enough to try without our tour guide. Excellent history of the city. Delicious options at multiple stops. And our group felt like family when all was said and done. Highly recommend.

Delicious and interesting local street food tour - I would highly recommend this local food tour. First, the meeting location was easy to find. Our initial guide reached out the day before to confirm the location, provided a picture of the location on request, and an update that Ana would be our guide. Second, Ana was a wonderful guide. Great temperament, sense of humor, and straightforwardness needed to manage expectations and accommodate the needs of our group. Third, the food options were a great sample of local Venetian foods. If you meet at 10:30 am as we did, I highly recommend a light breakfast because we went to five stops..all food is included, and if you would like to purchase drinks, alcoholic or non, you can do so. I had not tried a Spritz yet, and it was fun to learn the differences, and I was pleased with my Select Spritz. Finally, the length of the tour, around 2.5 hours was perfect. We walked around, learned about the food and the businesses, and Ana made sure to take our needs into consideration, even with on and off rain. Please note that the headset is only to amplify your guide's voice and it is not multi language, the tour is in English. This however was helpful in case one may have a hard time hearing or of there is noise around. Overall, an excellent introduction to Venice and it's local food.

Lovely food tour - We had a great time and our guide, Emma was entertaining and knowledgeable. We got the opportunity to try numerous local dishes, particularly a variety of cicchetti which were very tasty. We had a chance to pair up some recommended wines and spritz which is an additional cost. We ended the tour with some lovely gelato. Overall, this is a fun experience and I recommend that you give it a try.
