During our private food tour, we will also tell you a lot of interesting back stories about food and wine culture in Venice and we’ll guide you through the city’s most interesting neighbors to the discovery of famous sights and hidden gems.

My husband and I did the street food tour with Loris and it was a wonderful and unique way to spend time in Venice, learning about the history of city as well as visiting local food places that we would never have discovered on our own. Everything that we had was fresh and delicious and Loris was so pleasant, kind, and interesting to be with. We would highly recommend this food tour!
Loved this Food Tour ! It was very special because of our Guide Loris. His expertise, selection of sites to visit and warmth made the tour so fun. Loris knows his food and wine ! Highly recommend the Tour and Loris .
What an incredible way to spend the afternoon in Venice! Thank you so much Loris for your expertise and insights on our walking food tour. We learnt so much and got to go to places we never would have on our own. Your recommendations on wine was also greatly appreciated! We will certainly be reaching out again when we come back and recommending you to anyone we know visiting Venice.
Book this now!! My family took Loris’s food tour towards the start of our vacation and never stopped talking about it for the following 2 weeks we were in Italy. Even if you are only going to Venice for a day, this is what you should be doing. Loris is SO knowledgeable about Venice and its food culture. He is a joy to be around and brought us to the best that Venice has to offer. I can’t wait to go back to Venice and do more tours with him!
We recently had a wonderful evening tour with Loris. We arrived in Venice in the late afternoon and were only to be in Venice for one day afterward, so we wanted to combine a sightseeing tour with a local food tasting tour for the evening of the day of our arrival. Coordinating such a tour with Loris was seamless- he was easy to communicate with and developed a customized tour just for us. We enjoyed cicchetti and a lovely spritz, mozzarella in carrozza, Venetian hot chocolate, salami and various cheeses (drunken cheese was my favorite), and a cannelloni tasting. All were delicious and tailored to our food preferences. We walked at a relaxed pace through the many neighborhoods of Venice, seeing both the highlights and hidden gems of each. Throughout, Loris explained their historical significance in great detail. Our favorite places are too many to list, but most are the hidden gems we would have never found or seen on our own. We topped off the evening with gelato (the best I’ve ever tasted), at my husband's request. Throughout, Loris was friendly, knowledgeable, professional, and had a great sense of humor. He answered our many questions with ease. If we are fortunate enough to return to Venice, we will definitely be contacting Loris again. This tour was the highlight of our visit!
We took the street food tour with Loris and it was a great experience! We ventured out on our first afternoon in Venice still a bit groggy from the overnight flight. Loris met us as promised and we took a leisurely amble for the next 3.5 hours, stopping at (I think) five different places for cicchetti, wine, pastry, and other assorted snacks and drinks. The stroll was fascinating, the food delicious, and Loris a very informative guide. I'm glad we did it on our first day, not only because it was a stimulating way to begin our week (and to stay awake) but also because Loris had a wealth of information about other good places to eat and drink that we relied upon for the rest of our stay. Altogether a truly delightful experience!
Best food tour I’ve taken in a long time. Our tour guide, Giada, was amazing - incredibly knowledgeable about Venetian cuisine and culture and wine, and the next day after the tour we went back to some of the same amazing spots she showed us on the tour. This is a great way to see and taste Venice in a small group with a tour guide who knows the city and its cuisine inside and out.
Thank you so much! I'd also like to inform you that I am no longer associated to this tour, but you will now find me at "Venice with Giada". Best, Giada
Definitely worth it. I learned a lot about local products, but also got to know Venice in a different way. They also show where they eat and stay themselves. The conversations where also very pleasant. Definitely do it

Fantastic food tour with an engaging and informative guide! Loris answered all our questions and ensured that the vegetarian in our group enjoyed the food as well. Book this tour! You will love it!
Loved this tour. Giada and Loris were fabulous. Our party of 5 have a great time. Both Giada and Loris were very knowledgeable and friendly. The food was amazing, I would definitely recommend this tour. It's a must do.
