We had a fabulous food tour with our guide Carlotta. Got a great sampling of cicchetti and other delicious foods. Walked all over Venice. 2 people didn’t show up so it turned out to be a completely private tour for my family of 4. Highly recommended! Make sure you don’t eat before this tour.

We would highly recommend this tour. Maria was very friendly, offered recommendations for local restaurants and provided information on the areas we visited which was interesting. The food was amazing and very filling and the drinks were lovely too. So much so we went back to some of the places throughout our visit.

Great experience.
Angela_D, Sept 2025
The Experience was wonderful. We booked the tour for the day we arrived in Venice and unfortunately we were delayed getting to our meeting point because of a water taxi delay. However, both Viator and Maria, our tour guide, were amazing with staying in communication with us and making sure we were able to joint the tour as soon as possible. Maria was very informative and very thoughtful. Her knowledge of the city’s history and the local cuisine was great. She also went out of her way to make sure that we were able to sample everything that we had missed because of our late arrival. A food tour is a great way to start a visit to a new city. Not only do you get to sample delicious food, but you also get to see and learn about parts of the city that you may not have seen otherwise.
Response from Host, Sept 2025
This means a lot to us. Our guides enjoy sharing not just food but stories that bring the city to life, and it’s wonderful that you appreciated that. Secret Food Tours has more waiting in 100+ cities!

Eating "with" Venetians
Marjorie_K, Jul 2025
You stroll areas the typical tourist does not and experience the local off the beaten path eateries. We strolled through a wonderful portion of Venice with a local guide and ate with the neighborhood Venetians and talked with the family owners of the places we ate and drank at. We felt like Venetians for the day.
Response from Host, Jul 2025
Thank you for sharing such a lovely review! We're so happy to hear you enjoyed strolling through the hidden gems of Venice and truly experienced the city like a local. Connecting with family-owned eateries and immersing yourself in the neighborhood is exactly the kind of authentic experience we aim to provide. We’re thrilled you felt like a Venetian for the day — that means the world to us! Looking forward to welcoming you back on another Secret Food Tour in one of our 100+ cities soon.

Tour was canceled last minute
Cheryl_H, Jun 2025
We were so looking forward to this experience and were disappointed to receive an email last minute to cancel. It was confusing because we received one email with the information and meeting point for the tour and then within an hour it was canceled:, with no further follow-up. We use Viator very regularly when we travel, and generally have excellent experiences. This last minute cancellation left us without reservations in Venice, and completely changed our planned day.
Response from Host, Jun 2025
Hello Cheryl, thank you for taking the time to share your experience. We completely understand how disappointing it must have been to have your plans changed at the last minute, especially when you were looking forward to discovering Venice with us. The cancellation was due to an unexpected emergency involving some of our local food partners, which affected our ability to deliver the tour as intended. To maintain the quality and consistency of the experience we offer, we made the difficult decision to pause our Venice tours between June 1st and 3rd. We recognize that receiving a confirmation followed by a cancellation shortly after must have been confusing, and we understand how that impacted your day. While this kind of situation is not common, we are reviewing how we communicate urgent changes to ensure better clarity and timing moving forward. We hope to have the opportunity to welcome you on one of our tours in the future—many of our guests have had a great time exploring not only Venice but also our food tours in cities all over the world. We’d love to provide you with the kind of experience we’re known for. If you'd like to discuss this further, kindly reach out to us at info@secrettours.com.
Superb

Wonderful experience with delicious food
Kimberly, Mar 2025
Carlotta led us on a beautiful, unique tour of Venice! She was very friendly and engaging - sharing a lot of information about the city's culture, history, and gave recommendations on where to go for an authentic Venetian experience. All of the food and drinks we had were fresh and delicious, inspiring us on what to eat for the rest of our time there. Definitely recommend!
Response from Host, Mar 2025
Now that’s what we love to hear! A great tour, amazing food, and happy guests—that’s the perfect recipe. Thanks for the 5 stars, and we hope to see you again for another round of delicious discoveries, Kimberly!
Wonderful trip worth the money and time!
Peter_A, Jan 2025
We just took this food tour on January 18 and our tour guide Carlotta is amazing. She took us to try various types of food and drinks which are all very delicious. In addition while walking from one restaurant to another restaurant (we tried 7 bakeries and restaurants) she also acted as tour guide explaining all the major buildings that walked past by. She also took us to visit the fish market and the vegetable & fruit market.
Response from Host, Mar 2025
Your review just made our day! Sharing incredible food and hidden gems with our guests is what we love most, and we’re so happy you enjoyed every moment.

What an amazing experience! Our host Clementina was fabulous, so friendly and knowledgeable, and took us through the beautiful streets of Venice.
