Our guide Martina was friendly and gave us great insights into Veniceโs food culture, especially at the lively market. We loved sampling cicchetti and learning how Venetians eat and drink. It was relaxed, tasty, and made us feel like insiders in this beautiful city. Absolutely one of our favourite experiences in Venice!๐ท๐ค
