"Had a lovely tour with Romena. She did such a great job showing us a side of Venice we didn’t even know existed! Highlight was definitely the sweets at Panificio Volpe. Thank you Romena!

We loved the tour! Gioele is a fantastic guide with an impressive knowledge of not just Venice but all of Italy. The food was so good, and the portions were perfect. A great way to explore Venice.

Daniela was great! Our Eating Europe tour of Venice was very interesting! We tried several great new foods while avoiding all of the crowds. (Which is very hard to do in Venice!) Eating Europe tours are great in every city we’ve taken them in. We hope to do more soon!
I had virtually excluded Venice from future trips because of the HUGE crowds that are present is most areas most of the year. Dani showed us that there are still areas you can go without being trampled and enjoy some excellent food and wine!

Our eating tour of Venice was amazing, and our guide Anna was one of the best people we’ve met. From knowledge to kindness to catering to allergens and preferences, she went above and beyond to ensure it was a meaningful and tasty tour! We left full with new insights into the food and culture of Venice, delicious food and drinks, and even a list of recommended places to visit next! And in a place like Venice, that can be hard to come by. Could not more strongly recommend this tour, and especially Anna, enough!

Gianmarco was not only a wonderful food guide, but a great tour guide as well! He told us numerous interesting stories about the history of Venice. Started out with possibly the best pizza we’ve ever had. Very unique and delicious. 5 star experience!

Anna was great! She introduced us to some delicious Venetian food, that we probably wouldn't have dared to try on our own. We loved the fact that she had chosen the smaller and traditional Venetian spots for the food tour. We were taken down some little roads that had literally a handful of visitors, and she had some lovely historic or folklore story to go with it. Highly recommend Anna and the food tour.

This food tour was great from the moment we started. CECILIA was our guide & we quickly recognized it was going to be a great experience. Her love for Venice runs to her soul! She explained how the tour would work and quickly made individual connections with everyone to personally connect. We all fell in love with her passion, knowledge & great personality. The food was excellent, she promised we would be well fed (was an understatement) and actually had choices about what we could have. Everything was fabulous & delicious! Highly recommend her and Eating Europe Food Tours!!! (Pics are a “sampling” as 2 Stops we ate & drank & forgot to snap photos ‘cuz we were having so much fun!)
