Best Tour Ever!
This is not our first time in Venice, so we wanted something different, and so chose the food tour. Claudia exceeded our expectations in every way! In addition to teaching us about traditional Venetian foods, she taught and showed us lots of hidden gems and even took us up to a rooftop view of the city. And adapted it to aboid the super high steps of Rialto Bridge.
Claudia is very friendly, smart, well educated and super fun!! It was like taking a tour from one of our family friends. I can highly recommend Claudia for the food tour but she will be great no matter which tour you choose.

Amazing Food Tour in Venice
I have to start by saying our time with Alex was our favorite part of our two days in Venice. She showed us the world of local Venice cuisine and embraced our adventurous food pallates. From showing us the best "Trammezino" and explaining how the Euopean tea culture impacted the local Italian treat to delicious fried anchovies in cheese, to the BEST hot chocolate cake we've ever tried. Alex was knowledgeable, engaginging, informative and a joy to spend time with. We look forward to more tours with her if we return to Venice.

Fantastic guide
We had a fantastic day with Alexandra. Her love for authentic Venetian food and culture came shining through in her tour. Alexandra brought us to local favorites and gave us numerous tips on how to eat and shop like locals. She seamlessly wove Venetian history into the food tour. I would definitely recommend beginning your journey in Venice with Alexandra so you can take advantage of your newfound knowledge. She also provided recommendations for other spots that we would enjoy later in the week.
As a side note, I had broken my glasses and she called an optical shop and I was able to get them fixed. Thanks for the kindness Alexandra!
