All of the food stops were excellent except the Gelato one. I suggest a different vendor as I've had better Gelato.
Meeting and ending locations were very easy to navigate.
Appreciate having the tastings sitting down rather than standing.
Guide was friendly and kept a slow pace for all to follow.

The Venice: Eat & Drink Like a Local – Evening Cicchetti Tour was a fantastic experience and one of the highlights of our time in Venice. Anna was a wonderful guide—friendly, knowledgeable, and passionate about Venetian food and culture. She took us to local spots that we would never have found on our own and shared interesting stories about the city’s culinary traditions along the way. The food and drink selections were excellent. We enjoyed a variety of delicious cicchetti, traditional pasta, cold cuts, and gelato, along with a classic Venetian spritz, Prosecco, and local wines. Everything was thoughtfully chosen and gave us a true taste of Venice. Beyond the food, the tour provided a great introduction to local life and the neighborhoods of Venice. Anna made everyone feel welcome, and the evening was relaxed, informative, and a lot of fun. Highly recommended for anyone wanting to experience Venice through its food, wine, and local culture. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
