While visiting Venice, I had the pleasure of booking a tour with Valerio for fish shopping at Rialto Market followed by home cooking in Murano. The experience was nothing short of extraordinary and truly authentic.
We began our day at Rialto Market, selecting fresh, local ingredients under Valerio's expert guidance. From there, we traveled to his lovely home in Murano, where he prepared a mouthwatering multi-course meal, perfectly paired with libations for each course. What made the experience even more special was how hands-on it was—my friend and I got to help with some of the preparations, which made the meal feel even more personal and rewarding.
Throughout the day, Valerio’s warm and engaging personality shone. He answered all our questions about life in Italy with patience and enthusiasm, sharing fascinating insights into local culture and traditions. Despite our endless curiosity, he never seemed to tire of our company and made us feel completely at home.
To top it off, Valerio provided excellent recommendations for other unique experiences and activities we could try during our trip. His hospitality, knowledge, and passion for sharing the Italian way of life made this tour the highlight of my visit to Venice.
If you’re looking for an authentic, unforgettable experience in Venice, I cannot recommend Valerio enough. He is the perfect host and guide, and this experience is not to be missed!

About local
Adaptable and informative
Maria was a fantastic tour guide. We booked a 3 hour tour but our six year old was more tired than expected so Maria changed our route to match the family vibe. She also kept touch during our time in Venice giving us some great restaurants to try in our price range. She answered our questions on the tour including some strange ones, like “ what’s up with all these velvet slippers?”

Following the tour Maria sent us a number of food and must see recommendations to help us make the most of our stay. We highly recommend this experience with Maria.

Pastries and Venice a winning combo
Maria knew all the best places and shared a bunch of recommendations for later. It was fun to see the different parts of Venice through her eyes. She also did a special reservation for a spectacular view of the city.
