We had a wonderful evening exploring Venice and some of the local food and beverages. Great group and a lovely guide who shared some fun history and knowledge of the city. Glad we started our time in Venice this way. It was a good way to get our bearings, and to get some tips from a local!

Great evening out discovering the back streets of Venice and eating like a local. Ludo was a great guide, lots of interesting stories about the history of Venice and great tips on places to eat while in town. Best to do early on in your trip so you’ve got time to explore her recommendations
