Great show and experience. Intimate atmosphere. Plenty to eat and drink. Limited seating in the meal area.

There was plenty of reasonable buffet type food. The actors were energetic & enthusiastic, they came round to introduce themselves before the show which was good. The show itself was very good and well presented and interesting.

I really enjoyed this show! It's a very small production, more like a pantomime with only 5 actors in a small theatre. However, it was a fun way to learn Venice's history, and an enjoyable experience.

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!

Colourful, but maybe a bit too loud. Lovely theatre and the reception was really welcoming.

We like the show. I would recommend it if you are going to be in Venice during the evenings as the place seems to be a ghost town after dark.

I thought the show was well worth seeing. We found it very informative and if was very entertaining and professionally preformed. On the other hand we were not at all happy with the food. Apart from not tasting at all nice, it was almost cold and a complete waste of money. In summary, I would say do the show certainly but have dinner before you go.

If you want a good history of Venice, this is a must. The show was well done, using both acting and visual effects to tell the story. The show was done in English and the actors spoke perfect English. The dinner was a buffet and the food was good. However, there were only a few tables to sit and some people had to eat standing, including us. This was the only thing that kept this from being 4 stars.

We chose the show only option and had an enjoyable evening. To make the most of the small theatre space, they use wraparound projection very cleverly. Small company of actors had to be versatile to play so many different parts - the Narrator was especially good. Only quibble was that although their English was quite good, some spoke so fast it was difficult to follow the witty repartee.

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.
