When you know the right places to go and get away from the tourist traps, Venetian food is a surprising delight. Learn what to eat and where to eat it on this expert-led guided tour and enjoy a relaxing gondola ride across the Grand Canal.
Your tour starts with light bites at a local wine bar followed by 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. At the nearby produce market, extend your knowledge to include the seasonality of vegetables and locally produced specialties.
From there, it’s time for more food! You’ll sink your teeth into the locally loved sandwiches at a popular bar, then head to another classic family-run spot for more cicchetti and wine.
Next, it’s time to hop on a traditional gondola and cross the famous Grand Canal with your guide en route to Cannaregio. Formerly the city’s Jewish Ghetto, today it’s where locals go to eat, drink and socialize.
Your tour ends with a mouth-watering full meal featuring local specialties such as pasta with squid ink, tiramisu for dessert, and of course more wine.
