Enjoyed every minute
My wife and I had an amazing private tour by Giada. Every single stop had local savory food. Giada is very conversational making the 3 hours go by so quickly. She really makes the effort to give you samples based on your preferences. This tour made our first day in Venice so special - we literally enjoyed every minute with her. We would highly recommend a tour with Giada if you are visiting Venice.
