Experience Home Dinners in Venice with Withlocals

"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!"

"From booking to arriving in Venice, Valerio was kind, helpful, and ready to make certain we had a great first day in Venice. We toured the Rialto Fish Market, which was a real treat. Valerio pointed out historical details along the way. We prepared branzino, potatoes, shrimp, and pasta! Of course there were many appetizers and lots of wine. We highly recommend anyone book this experience with Valerio and With Locals! "

"Valerio hat uns überpünktlich am gut zufinden Treffpunkt freundlich empfangen. Beim gemeinsamen Einkaufen hat er nach Besonderheiten und Wünschen gefragt. Den Weg vom Markt zu seinem Haus hat er mit vielen Infos und Anekdoten gefüllt. Das gemeinsame Kochen und Essen hat sich nicht nach einem gebuchten Event angefühlt, sondern wie das Kennenlernen eines neuen Freundes."

"Our day with Valerio was amazing! After meeting at the local fish market, we went to his home on murano to prepare a meal. It was delicious and so fun to feel like a local. Our tour of murano included stops to learn about glass blowing. Our daughter got to make her own glass bead and then we toured a glass showroom which was beautiful. Don’t hesitate to book this memorable tour- Valerio is outstanding!"
