What to expect
Learn what to eat and where to eat it in Venice on this expert-led guided tour.
Your tour starts with sandwiches and coffee at a local cafe followed by an introduction to "cicchetti", Venice’s signature tapas-like bites. The second stop of the morning is a family-run bar where you’ll enjoy two local favorites paired with a drink. Next, it’s time for an exploration of the famous Rialto fish market. With a local on hand to give you insider information, learn about one of Venice’s oldest industries and spot strange species you may not find at home.
After that, at the nearby market, you'll extend your knowledge to include the seasonality of vegetables and locally produced specialties, stopping at a fresh fruit stand for some seasonal delights. From there, you'll sink your teeth into the locally loved sandwiches and a spritz at a popular bar, then head to another. Next will follow a gondola ride (note: only available on the 10am tour) to Cannaregio, the former Jewish Ghetto, where today locals go to eat, drink, and socialise. After disembarking from the gondola, you’ll make your way to a cozy modern bar to enjoy homemade risotto and a glass of wine.
Your tour ends at an innovative "gelateria" tucked down a hidden side street. Cap off your morning on a delicious note with your choice of one of their creative flavours.
