Nice experience - Great experience. Got to taste lots of things. Yes, this is a walking tour, but then again, all of Venice is walking. We had a good group of people. The guide was great.

Excellant Experience - Beatrice was an excellent tour guide! She was extremely knowledgeable, enthusiastic and also interested in where we are from. Beatrice informed us in great detail of the wine and food prep, which we really appreciated. Her timing was impeccable for each stop. We would highly recommend Beatrice and this tour.

Definitely take your - This was such a great experience and I wish I would have thought about doing this tour in the other cities we were in Italy. Our guide was fantastic! She kept it fun and knew so much about the food and cocktails of the area. It was also a bit of sightseeing as we were winding our way through Venice.

Anna was an extraordinary... - Anna was an extraordinary tour guide! She was so friendly, personable, and knowledgeable. Not only did she thoroughly explain each food and drink to the group, she also gave us the history and traditions behind each of them and answered any questions we had. On top of her amazing hospitality, each item was larger than I expected and the drinks were full sized with options. We were full and satisfied. We also walked through areas and went to spots that we never would have gone to as tourists. Definitely would recommend and thank you so much to Anna for curating an amazing experience and a beautiful memory for me and my friend!

Best way to truly experience local cuisine! - Ludo was our guide and she was fantastic! She picked amazing places and we tasted so many great local dishes and got to experience neighborhoods we would never have found on her own. Seriously some of the best food we had while we were on the city and she gave us some great recommendations of things to buy and places to visit while we were there. Awesome experience!

Great way to learn about the food in the city - Great tour that took us to hidden gems we wouldn’t have found on our own. We took this tour on our first day in Venice. We were a little disoriented from traveling, so this tour was perfect for getting acquainted with the city. Our guide was very friendly and told us about the ins and outs of certain neighborhoods and food. We have taken Devour Tours in Madrid, Sevilla, and Paris. They never disappoint.

Yummy Bites - First, the good. Maria was our tour guide. She provided great information about the history of the food and beverages we had. I really enjoyed all of the dishes, and the portions were plentiful. It was nice that we had choices at each location and that the food was very specific to the region. As for the things that what could be improved. Maria is very soft spoken. Some in the group were unable to hear her, which was a shame because her narration was very interesting. I would have also liked a list of the places we visited and the wines we tried. Overall, this was a good experience. If you are an adventurous eater, it is well worth the money and the time.
