Great
Great tour to try some different local foods that you wouldn't usually. Make sure you go hungry to this tour as there is lots of food along the way. Gondala ride is gimmicky its just a 2 euro one to get you across the canal.

Great tour: 4 different places with cicchettis and drinks, and exellent guide, who has grown up in the neighbourhood and has great English from studies in London. We loved our guide Camilla, who in addition to the details about the local food, drinks and cicchetti places, gave a short overview of Venice itself, recommendation on what to do next and answered any questions one might have.

My wife and I enjoyed the tour however be aware that getting around Venice without smart phone capability to access some type of route directions is difficult. We weren’t staying in Venice proper and just happened to find the tour after it had begun.
