A must do if you love food - My tour guide Georgia was great! She knew about not just Venice but the whole Veneto region. The food was delicious and everywhere we went felt like a local spot and not a tourist attraction. She took the time to talk about the history and beauty of Venice along with the various food options. Her tour was my favorite part of the trip.

This was such an... - This was such an interesting experience! Giovanna showed us many interesting spots and provided interesting insights into the history of how Venice's governance shapes it still today (especially the language and food scenes). I wish the pacing of food and tour had been a bit more balanced, and the gondola was NOT 15 minutes. But overall we very much enjoyed this

Great tour with Georgia - Had a great time on the tour. Georgia was very welcoming and knowledgeable. Really enjoyed trying all the local specialities, very good value as there is a lot of food and drinks included. The tragetto crossing was a fun addition. Very much recommend this tour for the start of any trip to Venice as it helps you get your bearings with locations too.

Average - During my time in Venice I went on three different food tours this was definitely my least favorite. The guide didn’t seem super into it and it felt kinda rushed. The food and drinks were great but so were my other two tours. Maybe it was just my experience but I would have rather just gone out to dinner in contrast to the other two I was over the moon for (my gf feels the same way).
