Venice Private Food Walking Tour With Locals: 10 Tastings

This was an excellent food tour to take! Adair did a great job taking us around all the little hidden food places in Venice. We tried some things we never would have found on our own and had some excellent little bites (especially the cheese in Carrozza dish). It was a real plus to have a local to explore with, tell us some history, and give us a perspective we wouldn't have had otherwise!

Monica was vivacious, knowledgeable and great fun! Her multiple degrees made her a wealth of information for history, local food, languages and environmental sciences! We were so lucky she was our guide!

Genny was an utter delight! So personable and engaging. She choose interesting and delicious locals. Two teenage sons thought it was one of the best tours we took in all of Italy. Would highly recommend.

Best tour of our trip! We had such a good time with Giada! We all wished we could have spent the rest of our vacation with her! The tour was wonderful - we ate, we drank, we laughed - an overall fantastic experience. If you are going to Venice and have the time - Do Not Miss This Tour!

Had a great afternoon with Loris & his girlfriend, we visited authentic places in Venice that you would probably not find/visit. Highly recommended informative tour. Thanks.

Genny is simply amazing. Our time with her was delicious, authentic, and personal - all because of Genny. The first thing we noticed was her smile and passion for her tour. She was a perfect balance of informative and conversational. After asking what we liked, didn’t like, or food allergies she took over with what was an extremely thoughtful combination of restaurants and items to ensure that there was balance and diversity in the food we enjoyed. It was like we were on a tour delivered by the mayor - we never waited in lines because Genny knew all the purveyors. At the local cheese and salami shop, even though there was a queue she simply waved and five minutes later we were eating delicious meats and cheeses. An extra bonus is most places offered wine, beer, spritzes, and other beverages that were also included in the price of the tour. You’ll love exploring back alleys and places that you’d never find or read about because only the locals go there. Finally, Genny gave us a list of every establishment (which was nice when we wanted to retry a few of them again) as well as recommendations for a variety of other restaurants. That night when we got turned around, we texted Genny, gave her our location, and two blocks later we were enjoying an excellent dinner. As beautiful as Venice is, Genny AND her tour were the highlight of our trip.

One of the highlights of our trip to Venice. Adair gave us not only insights into the food of Venice but its culture and history . We managed to return to some of the places we visited with her and we knew what to order ! There was plenty of food and drink we are glad we hadn't had lunch before our afternoon tour. She is a natural guide and I would try some of her other tours.

We had an excellent walking tour with Roberto Vendramin who is a truly excellent tour guide. This was a very private/exclusive tour with just the two of us and Roberto. He is very knowledgable about the history of Venice (his family history spanning generations including one Doge!) and showed us all over the city and its hidden streets, visiting some great bars and street food stalls which allowed us to get a great taste of the real Venice. He is very personable and was keen to answer any questions we had. I recommend him most highly to anyone. Thank you again Roberto!

Loris was a wonderful guide. The food was delicious and made even better by the interesting titbits about food, wine and history! I would highly recommend this tour of anyone who wants some local insight and delicious tastings.

Monica was delightful and we enjoyed the combination of history behind foods served at home and in restaurants. We had great conversation and appreciated the relaxed flow of the afternoon.
