“The Eat Like A Local 3-hour food tour was one of the highlights of our time in Italy, let alone Venice, and a huge part of that was our guide, Sara. She was really wonderful… pleasant, knowledgeable, and genuinely entertaining. Honestly, she was probably one of the best tour guides of our entire vacation through several cities in Italy. Sara led us to local spots that she personally frequented, explaining Venetian food traditions, ingredients, and customs along the way. Every stop felt thoughtfully chosen, and her passion for Venetian culture really came through in an educational yet fun way. This tour was a very nice way to experience Venice. Highly…”

“It was quite frantic and rushed. The tour guide was knowledgeable but had definitely grown jaded after leading the tour so many times. Older people will struggle to keep up, we did this in the off season so there were way fewer people and we were walking at a pretty brisk pace. There is no bathroom until over an hour in and no option to sit as the places are quite small.”

“My husband and I booked this trip as we both live wine. The experience was amazing, we had the pleasure of the owner of the 1st vineyard taking us on the tour, explaining the family history and their wine. Our guide was amazing and translated everything into English. The 2nd vineyard was smaller but just as amazing. We met some lovely people during the tasting and food. Would highly recommend this tour and would like to thank María (if I remember correctly) for making our experience so enjoyable and memorable. Thank you”
