Excellent
This tour was spectacular, and our guide Orsula was amazing! We learned a lot of history and discovered many great food spots popular with locals. The limited walking was perfect given the hot weather. This is a very organized company and I would highly recommend. I do food tours in every country I visit and I was impressed.

We had such a good time wandering the Realto area and discovering Venician food with our very personable guide. We went back for more food! We similarly enjoyed our food tour of Rome with Sylvia.

Great
We really enjoyed our tour with Barbara. She was a wealth of information and answered so many of our questions about life in Venice (we had been walking around trying to figure out how things worked on such a tiny island with very old infrastructure, and she was gracious enough to answer all our random questions.) The food itself offered a nice mix of items - both food and drinks. There were a few items we were surprised to not see on the tour - typical cicchetti for one, gelato for another - but we felt the things we did try provided a nice overview of typical Venetian foods. We learned a lot, got some great recommendations, and were positively stuffed by the end of the tour. I would not hesitate to recommend this tour to others visiting Venice.
