The Venice Food Tour is the tastiest introduction to the city. Your local guide takes you through canals and centuries-old streets to a handpicked selection of bàcari, family-run eateries and artisan shops. At each stop you learn how the food connects to Venetian history.
You meet your guide by the fountain next to the steps of San Giacomo di Rialto church, steps from the Rialto Bridge. You start the way Italians do, with a coffee, and explore the Rialto Market.
In San Polo, you visit the oldest bacaro in Venice. This atmospheric wine bar is said to have been a favorite of Giacomo Casanova. Here you taste some of its best-selling cicchetti, the small Venetian snacks eaten with a glass of wine.
In Santa Croce, a shop owner prepares a selection of regional cured meats and cheese. He tells you how they are made and how to spot good ones.
The tour ends on a sweet note with artisan gelato, usually in Cannaregio. You learn how real gelato is made and how to find the best in Venice. Along the way, a sit-down meal at a well-known local restaurant is part of the tastings.
Come hungry: the tour guarantees you leave full. More than 3,600 travelers have rated it 5 stars.
