Excellent guide! Informative and friendly! Delicious food! I’m stufffed
There’s a heat wave all across Europe. Ana kept a great sense of humor and worked to get us out of the sun as much as possible. She is a Venice native. She loves her city and shared the locals’ favorite spots as well as historical info. She also provided helpful tips for continued Venice excursions!! Thank you Ana!!!
Amazing food and tour! The guide was very informative!
Anna was great. Very informative and answered everyone’s questions.
Great experience, off the beaten path and fun. Didn’t feel rushed and food was actually better and different than the restaurants we tourists tend to go to. I recommend this tour. Anna is wonderful and lively.
We met with our guide in the city and they had been a wonderful guide throughout. Very welcoming, knowledgeable, and accommodating wherever possible.
Anna was very knowledgeable and entertaining. I would recommend this tour.
This tour was great even with the heat dome during our tour. Anna was a local, born and raised in Venice, and it really helped give an amazing context to the food and drinks we had but also the history of this very unique city. Food and drinks were amazing and Anna was so personable and Ioved answering any and all questions we had about the city during our stops. Highly recommend this tour to anyone who loves food and drink and wants a great Venice overview during your visit.
Irene was great! Good food and drink! Would book again!
