Barbara was my guide! She is fantastic! She’s knowledgeable and personable. It was evident that the employees where we went enjoyed seeing her too. It felt like she was a long friend. I went back to two places later in my trip!

Sarah was perfect - showing us cicchetti places around Rialto. She has an interesting venetian-canadien background and is a real cosmopolist, rooted in Venice traditions.

Our tour guide, Daniella was amazing and really made the experience special. We booked our tour before Devour merged with Walks, so all our our emails, receipts were all wrong and led to broken links, so it was extremely difficult and stressful trying to get details and information the closer we got to our trip. We originally booked the morning tour to go see the Rialto Market, but when the companies merged, it got switched to the 5pm tour and we got NO notification. We didn’t find out until we showed up for the morning tour and there was no one there. Luckily we still got the evening tour, but the market was closed so we didn’t get that experience.

Our tour guide,Barbara, was excellent! She wove the history and story of Venice though food and wine. We left the tour full, happy and knowing much more of this beautiful, unique city and the food that has helped shape the culture not just Venice but the world as well.
