Rachel was a joy to guide us around the area of Venice. Her choices of apéritif were excellent, and her knowledge of the city was extensive. If it were an option to spend more time, we certainly would have. Highly recommend this for a leisurely evening.

Traveler Testimonials
Insider Access
Our guide shared the authentic side of Venice that can only be imparted by someone whose family has lived in the area for generations. We were able to access delicious establishments that only someone with inside access would frequent.

Inside the Culture
Our guide was knowledgeable about the food and drink, but also full of interesting Venetian history, including the quirks of local customs, language, and dialects. She was funny, fun, and very personable.

Don’t just take our word for it
Rachel gave us a delightful tour of four different, distinctive bacari. Each had its own atmosphere and history. Rachel told us the story of each one, and each had its own cichcetti and libation. We enjoyed Rachel’s enthusiasm and depth of knowledge. It was a terrific late afternoon stroll!
