Lovely Venice with the charming Cecilia! Venice is a mystery to us with all its canals and restaurants and Cecilia made it all so wonderfully simple and fun as she delightfully took us on a tour of great food and friendship. We sampled so many Venetian dishes as we strolled for a great 3.5 hour tour!

Delicious and insightful tour of unsung districts We had a wonderful tour of the Cannaregio district and the Jewish quarter. Our guide, Joe, and his colleague, Flavia, were knowledgeable and delightful hosts. They shared lots of information about the food, history, and culture of the city and the districts. The food was delicious. The places we visited really put their best plates forward and we enjoyed a variety of dishes that were traditional classics and traditional with a unique twist.
It was an evening well spent and we now have even more excellent places to choose from when we want to eat in Venice.
I highly recommend this tour and strongly suggest that you make sure you start on an empty stomach--you will not go away hungry.

The absolute highlight of our Venice trip (Flavia is a AMAZING!!!!!) Honestly, if you do only one thing in Venice, make it this tour. I was a little skep that a "food tour" might feel too structured or touristy, especially in a city that can get as crowded as Venice. I couldn’t have been more wrong. From the second we met our guide, Flavia, it felt less like a formal tour and more like we were just hanging out with a really knowledgeable local friend who wanted to show off her neighborhood.
Flavia is just magic. She has this incredible warmth and energy that instantly made the whole group feel comfortable. You can tell she actually loves this city and its food culture—it’s not just a script for her. She took us down these quiet back alleys that we never would have found on our own, way away from the madness of St. Mark’s.
And the food? Unbelievable. We aren't just talking about a slice of pizza; this was proper, authentic stuff. I finally understand what the cicchetti culture is all about! The wine pairings were perfect, and by the end of it, I was absolutely stuffed and so happy.
It was such a relief to stop Googling "where to eat" and just trust Flavia to take us to the hidden spots. We laughed, we learned a ton, and we ate like kings.
Do yourself a favor: skip lunch before you go, and cross your fingers that you get Flavia as your guide! She truly made our trip special.

Great food, tour & host in Venice! Cecilia was great! This was my first food tour and she made it so worth while, it lasted around 3 hours and we was in a small group of 4, she was so friendly and had excellent knowledge about Venice, we truly learnt so much from her, lots of fun facts! The food & drink was also amazing, we had a focaccia pizza, cicchetti, artichoke risotto and a tiramisu alongside prosecco, white wine & a spritz, there wasn’t a single thing I didn’t enjoy. Would defo recommend and cannot wait to continue to use eating Europe for my future city breaks. Thank you Cecilia!

Highly recommended by our family of 5 with 3 older teens Our family loved this tour, made so fantastic by guide Daniella. She gave us such interesting insights into Venice’s food, culture, and history. All the food and drinks were delicious and we left absolutely full! Highly recommend everyone book in when visiting Venice.
Special mention to all the staff at Eating Europe who went above and beyond to help our family find a reasonably priced but special dinner out for New Years Eve. They made the booking for us and we had a beautiful and very special NYE dinner. Thank you!!!

Excellent food and wonderful guide We had a great tour! We sampled so many delicious foods, and there were several options at each location, including vegetarian options for the vegetarian in our group. There was more food than we could eat and so much variety. We sampled 3 delicious local beverages, too. Our guide, Anna, was knowledgeable and kind, and we learned so much!
