"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!

Our tour guide Ana was amazing. Very knowledgeable and engaging. Not to mention that they had accommodations for everyone with dietary requirements. Tours like these are a unique (and tasty) way to get the know the culture and history of Venice. I’d definitely recommend it to anyone visiting. 🍝

Anna and Giulia were amazing. Anna made sure we had our vegetarian options and also when we didn't enjoy the drink, she got us some water and that was so good especially with all the eating and drinking!

Venice Eating Europe Food & Drinks Tour with our guide, Anna was outstanding. Anna was professional but also related to my wife and me on a personal level; we became friends. The food and Drink was authentic Venetian and very enjoyable. The restaurants and atmosphere were also authentic Venetian. We learned a lot about the local food and drink but also about Venice beginnings and history.

Giulia was such an amazing guide! I wish we would have done the tour at the beginning of our stay in Venice because she had such great suggestions on things to check out. Would book this tour again and again.

Fantastic tour given by Giulia. Plenty of yummy food and nice to visit local restaurants that are off the the tourist track. Giulia also interlaced the tour with stories about the history of Venice. Fascinating city. My 3rd visit and I can't wait to go back. Venice is overrun with tourists but with Giulia we really headed into areas we wouldn't have easily found on our own. This is my third tour with Eating Europe and I've yet to be disappointed. Highly recommend.

It is the perfect way to begin a trip in a city as you gain knowledge regarding restaurants to dine and sites to visit in addition to enjoying delicious food and drink.

Kerry was an excellent guide, full of local knowledge and history. It was interesting for us to visit the Jewish Ghetto and sample the local traditional food and drink. There were 8 of in the group, perfect for this kind of tour. We certainly ate enough and would recommend this tour at the beginning of your visit to Venice.

Carrie
My name is Carrie. Born and raised in Venice, I am proud to be half Venetian and half American, thanks to my mother's heritage.
My favorite local food is baccala' mantecato, creamed cod fish.
Venice is more than a destination; it's an unforgettable experience! The city's rich culture, deep history, and exquisite cuisine make it truly one of a kind. As a true Venetian, my heart belongs to its hidden gems, the vibrant atmosphere that ignites as the sun sets and paints the lagoon, and the countless untold tales waiting to be discovered around every corner.
