Maria was very personable and charming. She took us for adventurous food and we had great new experiences! She even followed up with us with names of the foods. She also communicated with our host for the next day so that there was no duplication of experiences. She went above and beyond. She is a good representative for your company.

It was very refreshing to be in the hands of a well seasoned tour operator who not only knew his subject, but had personally lived his subject for well over 50 years. Roberto was able to share his personal family history, as a Venetian and the places here in his family lived, worked, shopped, and eight as only a local Venetian could

Maria was prompt on meeting us at four hotel. She listened to all our requests. She gave us tips for exploring the city after the tour was finished. We never felt rushed. We loved having our own personal tour guide.

We walked and experienced several uncrowded ventures. Andrea introduced us to a few new areas in Venice that were outside of the big tourist areas which we loved.

What you’ll do

There’s a reason why Venice is the capital of aperitivo - reasons to stop and sample something delicious are as plentiful as the bridges in this fairytale floating city. Sip on Italian varietals in your choice Bacaro, a tiny bar where you can get a glass of wine and a cicchetto (mouth-watering savoury snacks) and share the bar counter with other Venetians, who’ve also earned their first aperitivo of the day. The gastronomic delights won’t end here - fancy tasting Osteria della Vedova’s famous meatballs, with a 150-year old secret recipe? Or perhaps the heavenly Biscotti Bussolai Buranelli (butter biscuits from Burano)? The best way to understand Venice is definitely by exploring its food culture, with a sated stomach and a matching smile.
