      Family friendly food tour!
      We toured with Adair as a family of five, including some members with allergies and intolerances. We still had a great time and were able to enjoy ourselves! Adair adjusted our stops and offered substitutes for those who needed them. We would absolutely book with her again!

      A wonderful walking tour of Venice
      Claudia took us on a walking tour of the Dorsoduro area of Venice. She was lovely from the start and very knowledgeable. It was great to talk about Venice with a local guide who became more of a friend as the tour went on. We have visited Venice many times but we saw new things and learnt a lot from Claudia. We ended the tour on a roof terrace close to the Rialto Bridge. It was a fantastic experience from start to finish. Thank you Claudia

      Great tour of Dorsoduro
      Claudia did a great job for us. The tour she prepared was very diverse, walking, great churches, a ride across the lagoon to Giudecca. The two and a half hours went by very quickly. We highly recommend Claudia as a fun, knowledgeable and personable guide.

      Perfect Introduction to Venice!
      Elena was the perfect guide; when are ferry got delayed, she immediatley offered to meet us at a different starting place, and was there before we got off the ferry. She was engaging and full of stories of the history of Venice. She was engaging from start to finish. We truly enjoyed our time with her and would highly recommend her to anyone visiting Venice.

      Food, drink, tour perfection!
      We were able to move the meeting spot easily to accommodate all travels. Claudia was perfection! She gave us the sights, educated us on Venice history and architecture/layout, and got us so much food and drink we almost couldn't walk home! We rode a gondola across the Grand Canal as part of the tour, too! She even pointed us to the easiest water bus back to the airport. Highly recommend this tour with a local. 5 stars!

      Amazing tour, amazing guide
      Elena was an amazing guide. In two hours she taught us so much about Venice. Her knowledge and accommodating style is perfect for a kickstarter tour.

      A great day of even better food
      We had an excellent day with Alexandra. She was incredibly knowledgeable about not only Venetian food but the history around the city. She was very kind and personable, answering all of our questions and even teaching us tricks for navigating the city. We went to a few local spots we would have never found on our own and tried unique foods. Would highly recommend doing this at the start of your trip so you can learn your way around Venice and find food places you can go back to for the rest of your trip.

      Wonderful tour!
      My wife and I booked a private tour of Dorsoduro with Giada and it was a highlight of our trip! We asked Giada to take us to a few specific places, and she was very accommodating. She also was extremely knowledgeable of Venice and the entire area. We learned so much and truly loved the time with Giada. As a bonus, Giada is very knowledgeable of food and wine and gave us some excellent recommendations which we happily took advantage of. I would highly recommend this tour, or any tour, with Giada.

      The Best Food Tour Ever!!!
      We have taken several food tours all over Europe. This was the best tour ever. Our guide Alexandra was personable, knowledgeable, and provided insightful cultural/historical information to help us with our etiquette so we could treat Venetians properly. After our tour, we regretted not having more time in Venice. We now have a great appreciation of Venice, the people, and the food of the region. Thank you Alexandra, we had the best time!

      Delicious Tour, Excellent Guide
      My husband Tom and I took the "10 Tastings of Venice" tour with Alexandra last week. We loved it! Alexandra guided us around Venice for three hours providing her insight into modern life in the city as well as some historical highlights. We tasted cicchetti and drank local wine in four locations. Alexandra is an enthusiastic, charming guide who answered all our questions and treated us really well. She lives in the city and knows a lot of the merchants - so we really felt like we were walking around the city with a local friend. My advice for people considering this tour is to arrive hungry and pace yourself with the bites, so you can taste them all. I highly recommend Alexandra as a guide for any Venice tour. But, this tour was particularly fun.

      Inspiring Murano, Burano, Mazzorbo Day
      Words cannot describe what an inspiring, amazing day our family had with Marzia visiting Mazzorbo, Burano and Murano. From the very beginning, Marzia was so engaging (perfect English) by sharing her experiences as a lifelong Venetian…with information about history, art, architecture, culture, key religious and political figures, and stories of these magical spots outside the main tourist areas of Venice. We stepped back in time to Venice’s earliest developments and made connections to current day. She was so gracious with wonderful humor as we explored these 3 islands with churches, homes, merchants (e.g., Burano lace and Murano glass) and food. Thank you Marzia….we cannot wait to return to Venice!

      Great guide and delicious food!
      Alexandra was incredible. She showed us the best local spots with delicious foods that true Venetians would enjoy. We had a variety of wine, spritz (the Venetian version), cured meats, seafood, and desserts. Everything was top notch and Alexandra was also a great historian who would answer our questions about Venetian history and architecture as we walked through the streets. Thank you so much Alexandra for giving us the best introduction to Venice!

      Worthwhile tour with a very patient guide.
      Really worthwhile tour of places close to my hotel. Beautiful chiasas chianti? Breathtaking architecture and views from bridges. Some really interesting historical information backed up with diagrams from Riccardo's tablet e g. Re: Foundations. Very kind, patient person. Went at my pace. Felt totally safe with him. Really helpful on a personal level.

      Perfect
      The tour was excellent. Roko worked very hard to make the tour special for us. I reached out to Roko because I wanted to get engaged while in Italy, and I wanted to have someone take a photo of the engagement, but I wanted to surprise my soon to be fiancée, and I didn't want to give my camera to someone on the street. I worked with Roko beforehand to tweak our tour so to find a quiet corner of Venice where I could pop the question away from the crowds. The whole thing went off without a hitch. I've been on several tours before, but there is only one guide that I can say that without a doubt saved my marriage. <3 Thank you Roko!!!

    We have visited Venice many times, taking lots of different tours but this time we chose something different. The tour was private, just the 3 of us and we met on a hot evening in Campo Apostoli. Over the next 2 hours we visited 3 bars/ Bacari which were off the beaten track. At each one we had a drink and cicchetti, these included fish of some kind on a thin wafer/ crispbread, meatballs, sardines with onions and crostini. We had an extra stop for a deep fried meatball at one particular place as Adair wanted one herself, this place does the best in town apparently.
    Adair is a friendly host and easy to communicate with as she is an American who now lives in Venice so there are no communication difficulties. We really enjoyed our tour and are hoping to do another tour with her when we return next year. If you are not a regular to Venice, this walk will be even more enjoyable as you will get to see some parts of the city you may not have visited before.

    Wear comfy shoes.

    We really enjoyed our time with Loris, he was so informative but chatted with us as friends. He did a great job of finding local great fresh Cicchetti and had great cocktail and wine recommendations. I definitely feel like he exceeded our expectations. I would schedule a cicchetti tour as early as possible in your stay in Venice so you can utilize what you’ve learned in your trip

    Giada was our tour guide for our tired family group of five adults. She is a warm, friendly, engaging and focused guide sensitive and responsive to the needs and tastes of her clients, and it was a delight to be in her company. Her energy soon re-energized all of us, and we spent a few very pleasant hours one night exploring streets and visiting lively wine bars and eateries away from the holiday-week crowds that we would never have found on our own. She knows the local wines and food and offered delicious suggestions. Hopefully we can get back to Venice soon, and if so, we’ll definitely contact her again.

    We heartily recommend Giada.

    Enjoyed the experience with Loris. Here gave us a nice history of Venice as we walked the streets. The aperitivo experience and selection was nice along with his knowledge of wine and culinary
    expertise. Visited some places we'd probably would have passed as a typical tourist. Visited during coronavirus scare so things were slow
    allowing us ample time.

    We were arriving in Venice late in the afternoon on Saturday, with only a day and a half in Venice. I found WithLocals on Google and chose Claudia. She was a wonderful guide, and very easy to talk to. She made our trip to Venice!! The "Drinks & Bites' tour was fantastic. I will recommend your company to all my friends. Claudia is a gem!!

    What a lovely knowledgeable woman to show you her best bars for
    antipasti and wine. A truly amazing behind-the-scenes tour through the
    back alleys of Venice. Highly recommended and great value for money.

    Giulia was an excellent host, who guided us around areas of Venice we had not previously visited. She took us to several small restaurants and introduced us to Venician, eating and drinking.
    Also she was a great source of information and full of tips for our continued vacation.
    Highest marks for the tour and Giulia as our guide.

    Giada was such a wonderful young woman. Not only did she give us such a fantastic tour, we asked her for any recommendations on things to see before we met up with her, and she gave us such a long, amazing list of places to visit. Without her guidance we may have found a couple of these stops during our stay.. but she made our visit in
    Venezia the best it could have possibly been. If my wife and I could rate Giada any higher than possible, we would. Thank you again, Giada!

    We had an excellent time with Loris. The weather was awful, pouring
    rain but didn't matter as we were able to find seats in the three bars
    we went to.....helpful for me, a 65 year old, not a problem for my
    niece and nephew. This tour orientated us to Cannaregio particularly
    and gave us a taste of what drinks to order and the small bites to go
    with them. Loris gave us lots of wine ordering tips, history of the
    area and was an easy conversationalist. This private tour for three
    people I thought great value for money as three drinks and the eats
    were included and since Loris did all the ordering took the stress out
    of our first day in Venice when we were tired from travelling.
