Review the Hard Rock Cafe Venice set menu, with canal views, rock memorabilia, meal choices, value, service, and practical booking tips.
“The food was really good, the service was not so good. Once the wait staff realized we were the prepaid group menu they seemed to have very little interest in us.”
Taste Amarone, Ripasso, and Recioto at two Valpolicella wineries with local food, vineyard views, and a small-group ride from Verona.

Tour Venice’s Rialto Market, make fresh pasta and tiramisu with a local chef, then enjoy a three-course lunch with unlimited wine.
“We had a fabulous day with Rosanna. She was knowledgeable, fun and loves what she does. We went to the market early to take pictures and had lots of questions for Rosanna when she took us through. We would have missed a lot if we had not gone with her. Loved being with a local going through the market the second time. She then asked us what we wanted to prepare for lunch and we shopped for the food and then walked to Lorenzo’s house. She pointed out sites along the way. We all love to cook but learned so many tips from Rosanna. She is very personable and we…”

Explore Veneto’s Prosecco Hills with two wineries, eight tastings, a four-course family lunch, and scenic van travel from Conegliano.
“Highlight of our trip so far. Carlos is a wonderful host and I recommend to anyone to do this.”
Visit Valdobbiadene from Venice for two winery tastings, a local two-course lunch, expert guidance, and scenic Veneto countryside.
“This was a really wonderful tour. March was very informative and we had a lovely day. He was very patient with our broken Italian that we were practising on him. The two wineries we visited were very nice and we risked being overweight in our luggage by buying a couple of bottles of prosecco which we cannot get at home. Would not hesitate to recommend this tour and being personally guided by Marco was a treat.”
