Olympia was great! Very funny and taught us a lot about Venetian and Italian culture. Food was delicious, and she offered to get us different things if we did not like what she brought out!

Anita was a very friendly and knowledgeable host! We had a wonderful time and tried a nice variety of foods special to Venice. I was relieved that nothing including pasta or pizza as we are quite tired of these foods after 10 days in Italy so it was special to try different samples! A bonus was all the interesting information we learned about each food and drink! Highly recommend!

This was a small group food tour that was a lot of fun right from the beginning. Emma was our tour guide and she has a fun and sparking personality. She gave us lots of choices of what we wanted to try and talked a lot about the history of the food and city. She made the food tasting a lot of fun. I highly recommend the tour.

Unfortunately we were not happy. The description does not explain that this is only appetizer style with lots of alcohol no really quality focused. Our guide Emma was so perky and went out of her way to try to make us happy however she could not change what was offered. We always say we have an unlimited food budget and this tour was way over priced for the offerings

We had an awesome tour, visiting five different restaurants throughout Venice. Our guide was sweet and engaging. We had a great group of people on our tour. I do have two recommendations: 1. limit the number of choices at each restaurant to 2-4 choices. 2. give more history of the area with each restaurant and why the food is important to the region. That being said...I highly recommend this wonderful way to explore the food and area of Venice

More than surprised how Viator pulled through. We traveled from Zurich and the weather was forecasting rain. We were wondering how this tour was going to happen when we learned that our tour guide called out sick. But it worked out. Viator was able to find another tour guide, Emma, who was absolutely amazing.
She took us to five different stops. Told us about the goods we could choose out what she chose. Different recommendations for drinks at each place were available as well. The food was great presenting a great way to start this leg of our journey.
Time was spent at each location so we never felt rushed with an explanation of the restaurant and the food we would have.
The night was finished with dessert.
Emma was the perfect guide. Her outgoing personality got everyone engaged in the evening.
We asked her if there was an especial restaurant we could go to to celebrate our anniversary ands the next day she texted over recommendations. My wife and I could not have been more pleased with this event.
Thank you Viator and thank you Emma.
