Private food tour of Venice - Guilia was an excellent tour guide! She was personable and friendly, and very knowledgeable about Venice and its rich history and culture. She gave us plenty of tips of where to go for the rest of our visit. When we come back to Venice, we will be sure to book another tour with her!

Great food and wonderful views - We had a wonderful market and chichetti tour with Giulia going through the heart of Venice! It was great to get to experience the more authentic sides of the city and get away from the noise and tourist trap aspects as well. The food was absolutely amazing and I’m sure our faces backed that up with each bite! On top of the going place to place to eat, it was also really cool to see the different things going on like the open air and fish markets and hear the history without it feeling dry or antiquated in its delivery. And then to top it off, we were able to get an elevated view of the entire region and take in its beauty which was a breath of fresh air both literally and figuratively as we escaped the bustling crowds. Would highly recommend Giulia and Liv Tours

Wonderful food tour experience! - Guilia gave a great overview of the history of Venice and its food culture. She grew up in Venice and is passionate about the city. We had delicious cicchetti at 3 restaurants and finished with a sweet at a famous pastry shop. Also saw the view from the T Fondaco rooftop terrace. Highly recommend!
