I did not like the tour. I decided to book it because of the good reviews it had, but the experience did not meet my expectations. Aside from having a coffee and trying several sweets (which, by the way, were very good), the explanations were quite scarce. I expected to learn more about Venice, the history of its cafés, its traditions, and its culture, but the tour focused almost exclusively on recommending Venetian pastry shops that have endured from generation to generation. If what you are looking for is a culinary route with pastry shop recommendations, it may be a good option. However, if you expect a tour with historical or cultural content about Venice and its cafés, it will probably disappoint you, as was the case for me.
Hola Anabel, gracias por tomarse el tiempo de dejarnos sus comentarios. Nos alegra saber que los dulces tradicionales le parecieron muy buenos, pero lamentamos sinceramente que el recorrido no haya cumplido con sus expectativas en cuanto al contenido histórico. Agradecemos mucho su observación. Aunque este itinerario en particular está diseñado principalmente como una ruta gastronómica para destacar las pastelerías familiares tradicionales de Venecia, entendemos perfectamente que esperaba un trasfondo cultural e histórico más profundo sobre la ciudad y sus cafés. Compartiremos sus comentarios con nuestro equipo de guías para equilibrar mejor las explicaciones culturales en el futuro. Esperamos que nos brinde otra oportunidad en el futuro para ofrecerle una experiencia que se ajuste mejor a lo que busca. — Savor Italy Tours team
Anna was amazing! We toured some unique bakeries and tried authentic Venetian pastries. Anna was friendly, knowledgeable and engaging. Our students thoroughly enjoyed the experience.
Fantastic walking tour to get a feel for Venice. Going into places only the locals know and learning about the city and its history. Our guide, Alice, was phenomenal - friendly and extremely knowledgeable. Alice loves her job and her city and showed us a fantastic time. Could not recommend this tour (with Alice) more highly.
Hi there, thank you endlessly for sharing your experience with us! Alice and the whole crew are walking on air after reading your review—she truly does love her job and her city! We're completely thrilled that her friendly energy helped you get a feel for the authentic side of Venice by exploring the hidden spots only the locals know. Thank you so much for your highest recommendation! — Savor Italy Tours team
This was the best way to start our first morning in Venice. Mariana was so wonderful. She made us feel like she was part of the family and showing us all of her favorite little shops in the city. We definitely went back to some of the places she brought us too because they were that good!! This was the first tour we did on this trip and all of us had an amazing time, including some people in our family who generally don't like tours.
