Ana was a wonderful food tour guide, giving us lots of insight to Venizian food vs mainland Italian food. Experienced lots of street food we wouldn’t have thought to try in our own. 5 stars

Anna was a great guide. Knowledgeable about food and history of Venice. I liked that she asked at each spot what we wanted. Encouraged us to try new things but respected our choice.

Tammy_P, October 2026
Great tour and guide. We got to sample a lot of street food and got a history lesson too. I would have never found some of these stops in Venice on my own. It was super cool to see the oldest bar. The samples were enough that you probably won’t eat lunch after ; plan accordingly.
