Our guide Katty was excellent. We ended up as a group of 4 which made the whole experience much more personable. Katty is well informed and passionate about Venice so in addition to food and drinks we also learned a great deal about the history. Also she made every effort to accommodate my gluten allergy. All in all a great intro to Venice

We loved our tour with Ludovica and her enthusiasm for the food, history, and culture of Venice. And her care for the community, like ensuring our tour didn't block the narrow Venetian streets.

I have no idea what guest support means and think it is open to too much interpretation. The guide was good, but lacked a degree of rapport with vendors - for example at one stop my wife wanted water rather than wine, but our guide was persistently refused this request. As soon as my wife asked the same server she was immediately given a bottle of water.

Luda was a fantastic guide. Very personable, friendly and took great care at each stop to explain the food, the history and lead us all in a good time. This is a great tour to see some less touristy parts of Venice and enjoy a variety of tastes.

This was a fantastic tour. We had 5 different stops for food and drink. The guide (Giovanna) was really personable and knowledgeable. We learnt lots about local customs and history that was new to us. The selection of varieties of food and drink was wide and able to satisfy all types of diet. I would definitely do this again.

We had been on a Devour food tour in Rome which we really loved. We weren't sure what to expect in booking another one. It was totally different in style and content and out guide was very knowledgeable and kept out group engaged.
