"The food tour with Claudia was simply one of the very best tours I've ever been on, She is so friendly and engaging, within 5 minutes it felt like we were just a group of friends going out together rather that any tour! She has incredible knowledge, a wonderful sense of humour and is kind beyond belief. As usual on a with locals food tour, we ate far too much, but the food was so tasty and the locations so thoughtfully chosen, it didn't feel overwhelming, rushed or too full. Claudia not only delivered a fantastic tour with lots of laughter and fun facts, she also went above and beyond and shared transport tips, a great option for Murano, and really helped us as a friend would with next plans. Anyone lucky enough to have Claudia for a guide is in for a real treat, she really is wonderful. HUGE compliments and thanks from the 4 of us to Claudia."
"My family and I had a fantastic experience with Giada. We tried so many unique foods and really enjoyed our tour of Venice. Giada is delightful and a wonderful hostess. We highly recommend this experience!"
"Giada is an amazing guide providing a wonderful evening filled with cultural experiences, history of the city, amazing food and local drinks. She has such deep knowledge of the city, showing you places that we would have never found on our own. I would highly highly recommend booking time with her on your first day in Venice as she provides you with so much information and recommendations that it makes the balance of your stay truly meaningful and fulfilling."
"One of the highlights of our trip.
Alexandra was super welcoming and knowledgeable and made our experience deliciously fun.
We walked, ate, and drank and learned many fun facts about the city’s rich history and great culinary background.
I highly recommend Alexandra and this tour. If you want the best guide in town, Alexandra is it!
Alexandra, next time we are in Venice, we will definitely book your wine tour!

"The tour with Alexandra was amazing! She was so fun, friendly, and knowledgeable. We had a great variety of local bites. I use WithLocals whenever I travel, and she has been the best tour guide so far!"
"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."
"Claudia was a wonderful guide and the tour was the best way to start our Venice trip. We got to see places off the beaten path and the knowledge she shared made our remaining days exploring that much more meaningful!"
"We had a fabulous evening walking and munching delicious local cuisine with Giada it felt like we’d known her for years! She taught us the origins behind the dishes and flexed to meet our wants - like adding in the house of cheese! We had such a giggle and thoroughly recommend her as your guide for an informative fun walking food tour! "

Venice 2025 Cicchetti Delight
"The food tasting tour with Giada was so delightful. She's warm and inviting and very knowledgable as well. The places she took us to meant something to her and you could tell she loves what she does with her tours. The cicchetti that we sampled were fresh seafood and not just the kind on toast you see too often. The time we spent with Giada went by so fast, and you know you're having a great time when it slips away so quickly. Giada is all about making your time in Venice the best. Her wealth of information was just the right amount. Sometimes you can get too much, but the pace we were all on, was perfect. I would highly recommend using Giada. She really was wonderful to be with and had exciting stops for us to try. I would give her a 10 out of 10!"
"Giada took us to 4 different venues for our 10 tastings, each with a different selection and ambiance. The first bacaro (bar) had an informal neighborhood feel and a wide selection of cicchettis. She explained the different kinds we sampled and about spritz’s. We ventured on to two more places, sampling more tasty items. We ended our evening in a neighborhood wine bar with a charcuterie board and wine. She explained the meats and the wine, then finished with a selection of 4 desserts from the pastry shop across the street. Giada was very knowledgeable about the wine, the food and the history. It truly was a taste of Venezia. And fun seeing it through her eyes. "
