This was one of our favorite tours for our family of 5, which includes 2 teenagers and our 10 year old! Our tour guide, Elizabeth Smau, was amazing!! She was so friendly, engaging, and her English was perfect! She was great at explaining the food and the Venetian culture! Each stop was where the locals eat and enjoy their favorite small bites! Come hungry for sure since there are about 5 stops! Also the tour was great b/c Elizabeth took us through beautiful ally’s that we probably never would have discovered! Highly recommend, especially if you get Elizabeth as your tour guide!
