Our guide Martina was friendly and gave us great insights into Venice’s 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!🍷🍤

Maria — Spain Everyone in our group loved it, and we ended up laughing and exploring together the whole way. It felt more like a fun evening out than a ‘tour,’ and we’d happily do it again!
