Additional Information

This Venice food tour takes you to small bars downtown, the so called ‘bacari’ which are cosy, modest places and smell delicious! This walk and tasting tour will unveil one of the most vivid and funny culinary traditions in Veneto.

The bacari are the traditional osterias in the lagoon: they are decorated in a simple and warm fashion, where the cuisine smells ensure the most comfortable atmosphere.

Dive into the genuine lagoon mood and join the lively aperitivo time of the locals, tasting wines and eating the local‘cicchetti’, along the Cannareggio canal.

When the day is over, aperitivo is a must in Italy. However, only in Venice you can find the Spritz and the cicchetti, small plates of meatballs, fish, vegetable preparations, toasted bread with toppings, deep friend delicacies and skewers.

The hosts are professional guides who are passionate about their city and want to share their love for Venice with you!

  • On certain dates, most travelers staying outside of Venice who are planning to visit for the day will be required to pay a €5 access fee. For further details (including exemptions) and to learn what days this fee is applicable, please visit: https://cda.ve.it
  • Guests need to communicate if they have any food restrictions (allergy, special diet, etc.)

Fun, delicious - Olympia was great! Very funny and taught us a lot about Venetian and Italian culture. Food was delicious, and she offered to get us different things if we did not like what she brought out!

A fun, easy way to learn more about Venice with Anita! - Anita was a very friendly and knowledgeable host! We had a wonderful time and tried a nice variety of foods special to Venice. I was relieved that nothing including pasta or pizza as we are quite tired of these foods after 10 days in Italy so it was special to try different samples! A bonus was all the interesting information we learned about each food and drink! Highly recommend!

A fun food tour in Venice - This was a small group food tour that was a lot of fun right from the beginning. Emma was our tour guide and she has a fun and sparking personality. She gave us lots of choices of what we wanted to try and talked a lot about the history of the food and city. She made the food tasting a lot of fun. I highly recommend the tour.

Back street buffet tour. - Emma was an excellent host, guiding us through a selection of eats and drinks, finishing up with a sweet treat. The food range was great and all our needs were catered for. A special treat was that most places were in quieter streets that we had not discovered on our own. Would definitely recommend this.

Lots of alcohol - Unfortunately we were not happy. The description does not explain that this is only appetizer style with lots of alcohol no really quality focused. Our guide Emma was so perky and went out of her way to try to make us happy however she could not change what was offered. We always say we have an unlimited food budget and this tour was way over priced for the offerings
