In spite of a very wet tour, our guide was enthusiastic and we all had a fabulous time - who cares about rain when there are great wines and food to savour.

It was a really lovely experience, the guide was really great, the food and wine were excellent. We just wish we had got 2 bottles of the Rabosa wine from the hidden wine shop as it was sooooo good !!

A perfect way to get in to the real Venice behind the obvious tourist places. Great company, food and wine.

Cecilia was fantastic as the guide, she was very friendly & knowledgeable. After 5 weeks of traveling around the UK & Europe this was one of our best experiences of the trip! This tour gave us a great insight into the great local food & wine so we were able to experience a more authentic Venice. We enjoyed the places we visited so much we returned to our favourites the next night. It's a shame there aren't any other tours similar in other cities, but when our friends travel to Venice we will definitely be recommending they take part in this tour!

Julia was a great guide. The group size was just right, large enough to meet people.

This was a great tour- my husband's favorite that we did in Italy! It was fun drinking wine and hearing about Italian culture and food.

Very enjoyable adventure, little bit on the pricy side though for what you got.

Problems first - The meeting place is convenient once you locate it on a map. When I called to confirm the tour I hadn't been able to find it, and they told me to use Bing maps because Google maps and most guide books don't include this particular church or campo. Second, despite having a confirmation that stated a meeting time of 17:30 (5:30 PM) the guide told me that they had waited for me for the earlier tour, but no problem, join in. This made me the 13th member of a tour designed for 12 participants, so last minute quantity adjustments had to be made at the locations we visited.
After all of this was settled, the tour was delightful. It amounted to a pub crawl to 4 different places with wine and snacks substantial enough that there was no need for dinner that evening. I really enjoyed it because we visited places off the tourist path and in the process had some great food and wine.
