Tour Gastronômico Privado: Cicheti e Ombre

His knowledge was very rich about the area and the history! We loved his humor and all sites we visited! He was the best four guide we had.

We were fortunate to also have Mihaela as a tour guide for this tour. She was outstanding- highly knowledgeable about the cuisine of Venice and general background, and presented a fun and entertaining “happy hour” style tour that we throughly enjoyed. Buccala and Spritz Select were new treats for me!

Again, Lorenzo guided us in a very personal way through the culinary tradition and fashion of Venice. This time we went through several little Bacari to enjoy Cecchetti and wine.

If you want to try authentic cichetti in Venice but don’t know where to start, this is the tour for you. Giovanni took us to three local spots, none of which felt touristy. All the cichetti and wines were delicious, and all three spots showcased different styles and specialities. Giovanni was extremely friendly and we enjoyed talking with him about Venice’s culinary culture as we slowly made our way from stop to stop. All cichetti and wine is included in the cost of the tour; Giovanni gave us recommendations but left the decision of what to order up to us.

Nicola was outstanding in showing us around, especially since this was our 4th excursion and second food tour in Venice. What a personable young man and fun guide! He changed a couple of venues for us due to our food preferences. This was our favorite tour!

Overpriced tour for a tour of 3 neighborhood bars with the same appetizers. Tour guide was nice but seemed like he was in a hurry to get the whole thing over with. Appetizers were all the same, bars were overcrowded, appetizers consisted of bread with different toppings.

Wow! Just got back, from the most amazing evening. We had booked a food and wine tour, hoping to taste some local food, in none touristy places, but the evening became over and beyond anything we could have hoped for! Luca the manager sat the standard, he replied so fast to emails, no question was to much, very detailed info. We were lucky to have Matteo, who has sooo many 5 star reviews, so we knew we would be in good hands, but he was sooo much better! Matteo was not only on time but early, he wasn’t looking at the clock trying to get home, he ensured we got back to the hotel well… Thoughtful, funny, kind, helpful and informative. Matteo shows huge passion for what he does, and he does it so well! I recommend anyone, to book such a tour, and do their VERY best to get Matteo as guide, we would do it again in a heartbeat, when visiting Venice again! Thank you sooo much Matteo!!! Super ambassador for not only “Shome” but for Venice in general! We LOVED this evening with Matteo!
