The story of Venice was sensational. Very well presented. Food was great. The cast were very creative, costumes and masks were beautiful. Definitely, would recommend this show. Well worth seeing. I felt very satisfied.

This company has been in operation for a year and they really did an outstanding job of welcoming their guests and putting out a very nice spread. They served canapes, chicken wings, rice, pizza, champagne and wine. Then we went into the theatre and were treated to a very good presentation of the history of Venice and its carnival. The costumes and masks were beautiful and explanations were given as to how they were made and their origins. Everyone had a very good evening. With the price of eating and drinking being so very high, it was great to have the food included.

I expected to learn about the history of Venice - what I didn't expect was for it to be played out in such a colourful, fun and entertaining way. The entertainment started when we walked in the door - as we wandered from room to room, sampling the cuisine from around the world, the cast members were mingling and making us laugh. The show was about 90 minutes which was a great length because we had two children with us. Would definitely recommend it.

This show is delightful! The theatre was lovely and as soon as we walked in... champagne and appetizers were everywhere! They served a mixture of cold and hot food - I appreciated this as it was cold in December. Oh and the Italians know how to make a good hot chocolate - delicious! Also loved the pre-theatre interaction with the actors - they were really cheeky and got everyone into the spirit! I liked the theatre, comfortable seats... it was easy to get to the front row and was a fun way to learn about Venice!

I would most certainly recommend the show, but going out for dinner somewhere else! The food was not worth it and getting directions early as it was slightly difficult to find.

My partner and I agree that the show and dinner was worth the experience. The food laid on was excellent and of high quality. The show was well acted and we both throughly enjoyed it.

The dinner was ridiculous. The finger food tasted horrible and there was almost nowhere to sit. The show used live actors combined with video. The video was really lame but informative. The live actors were outstanding. I recommend going to this if you want to learn something, because you will learn everything about the city, but skip the dinner!

Total waste of my money and most importantly, my time!!! The food was like something from a children's birthday party, poor quality and taste less. However, if you are a drinker, then its great as its free flow of wine. The show was terrible. I could hardly understand what the actors were saying. It looked like something from a school play. My partner fell asleep during the show!
