Our group of three (my husband and I, and our adult daughter) had a wonderful time getting to know Venice with Giada. She took us to a variety of eateries, where we experienced authentic Venetian cuisine - everything from spritzes to cichetti to chocolate to fritelle. Along the way, Giada shared lots of information with us about Venetian foods, and living in Venice. She even provided us with suggestions for other places to visit during the rest of our stay in Venice. We very much enjoyed our evening with Giada!

A Highlight of My Venice Trip!!
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!

Fantastic food tour!
Genny was an absolutely wonderful host to us in Venice. She was extremely knowledgeable and charming, giving us a detailed history of the city and it’s rich heritage. She was accommodating to my wife’s pregnancy as well for the food offerings and made us feel very welcome every step of the way. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone wanting a great food tour in the city.

Thanks again!
I gifted my parents a food tour in Venice with Claudia and they absolutely loved it. Here is the review from my mother. "Claudia was fantastic. Our daughter gifted us a Tasting Tour of Venice from "With Locals" for our recent vacation. Claudia was an absolute delight. We met at a central location where she inquired about any food allergies or likes and dislikes. We then spent almost 3 hours walking around the city, visiting small shops and cafes, trying different Ciccheti (small bites) as well as wine/beer tastes. She took us through numerous small streets and alleys, over many bridges, while explaining the history of the city, the local food culture, and various recent events. This was by far the best tour we had during our 3 weeks of travel."
