Venedig: Private Food Tour – 10 Kostproben mit Einheimischen

Onze gids was een vriendelijke, charmante en enthousiaste jongen maar hij had moeite om zijn verhaal in het Engels over te brengen. We hebben zeker geen 10 locaties bezocht voor proeverijen en ook het aantal hapjes / drankjes heeft in totaal de 10 niet gehaald. Onze verwachting was dat we met de proeverijen wel een licht diner zouden hebben maar dat was absoluut niet het geval, na afloop zijn we nog iets gaan eten. Buiten de locaties voor de proeverijen hebben we vier markante plekken in Venetië gezien maar daar had Google ons ook kunnen brengen. Al met al zeker het geld niet waard.

We booked same day at 2pm for a 6pm food tour. The guide called me on the phone at 3:18pm saying that he cannot make the 6pm and that he could only do 4 or 4:30. I said that we could not make the 4:30 time and to cancel the ticket. He then said that the ticket cannot be canceled within the 24 period and basically that I’m out of luck. Neither him nor his company “withLocals” will refund the money. This cost $329.00. Absolutely ripped off.

This was an exceptional tour because of the tour guide and her knowledge of many things related to the history of Venice beyond just the food. She spent a lot of time answering questions for us and teaching us about history of the city, showing us landmark sites and encouraging us to try foods we'd never eaten before. Cuttlefish, for example! Our two teenagers who can be relatively picky eaters were very happy trying things and Alexandra's knowledge of wine was also fantastic.

Loris was a great guide and the tour was an amazing introduction to all the foods and drinks unique to Venice. We did this on our first day as it took us through a few districts it was a great way to get familiar with the area. After the tour Loris gave us great recommendations and made himself available for any questions and guidance that we needed for the remainder of our stay in Venice. Highly recommended!

Se pudesse daria muito mais estrelas pela qualidade do passeio , de tudo que provamos e da dedicação visivelmente generosa da Alexandra . Estamos muito felizes e gratos por termos vivido essa inesquecível aventura pelas ruelas de Veneza com seus sabores e cultura ímpares .

The food tour was amazing. We tried different foods and drinks, plus got a history of Venice, the bridges, various neighborhoods. Claudia was an excellent guide she customized the tour to our personal preference & needs. Plus we did a “photo shoot” Claudia took numerous photos and was very accommodating. Ask for Claudia you will have an wonderful tour. I repeat Claudia is amazing!!! 5+ Star rating!!

We loved the tour and everything about it. Venice is a city with many many different options. This tour lead us to the not so touristy sites and bars. While we ate and drank, Claudia told us about the city and the history in a very easy-going way, like and old friend. It really does take some walking, so prepare yourself for 3 hs of tour (with the obvious eating/drinking breaks). There were no negative aspects in our point of view. Highly recommended.

Der beste (und leckerste) Weg, die Stadt etwas abseits der vollen Touristenpfade zu erkunden. Von Salami und Käse über Wein, Tintenfisch und Cocktails bis Gelato alles dabei. Sehr angenehme und informative Tour, die uns großen Spaß gemacht hat. Zum Schluss gabs es sogar noch einen Tip für eine Gelateria in Florenz (hat sich sehr gelohnt!) Vielen Dank an unseren Guide!
