San Polo, one of Venice's oldest and most vibrant districts, is a fantastic spot for cicchetti—the city's beloved small bites,thanks to its authentic charm and rich culinary tradition. Nestled around the bustling Rialto Market, the district is home to some of the best bàcari (Venetian wine bars), where locals and visitors alike gather to savor a glass of wine with flavorful snacks like baccalà mantecato, sarde in saor... The atmosphere is lively and welcoming, offering a true taste of everyday Venetian life. The group will visit a few places in this area
We will visit this nice area called Castello during the tour. It offers a laid-back, authentic culinary experience that makes its food scene truly special. As the largest and most residential sestiere, Castello is less touristy than other areas, allowing local flavors to shine in family-run trattorias and hidden bars. The blend of historic charm, peaceful canals, and genuine local fare makes eating in Castello feel like discovering a delicious secret tucked away from the crowds.

Terrible directions and nothing to indicate where the host was waiting, no sign or anything. They even sent picture of where the meeting point was (afterwards) which only confirmed I went to correct location.
My husband and I booked this tour while on our honeymoon. We were paired with another lovely couple and our tour guide, Greta, was very knowledgeable and so sweet. It was really great to be able to experience Venice with a local's perspective and she took us to a few spots we never would have ventured to on our own. Would highly recommend one of your first days in Venice so you can get to know more history and see parts of the city you may not see otherwise. Thanks Greta for such a lovely experience!

It was a true pleasure to discover places, dishes, and wines that we would never have been able to discover without this quality picturesque and gastronomic tour. Also, the smile and good humor of our guide made it even better.
Merci beaucoup pour ce superbe commentaire ! Nous sommes ravis que notre visite gastronomique vous ait permis de découvrir des coins cachés, des mets typiques et des vins locaux que vous n'auriez pas trouvés seuls. C'était un vrai plaisir de partager notre culture et notre bonne humeur avec vous. À bientôt à Venise !
Fantastic experience with native Venetian who shares her passion for the local food culture and city of Venice. Highly recommend!
The tour with Alice was an absolute highlight of our stay in Venice! Already at the first meeting at Campo San Giacomo di Rialto, she captivated us with her warm personality and palpable enthusiasm. Together, we wandered through three completely different neighborhoods, each with its own charm and special stories. We tried local wines and typical Venetian specialties, which Alice spiced up with exciting background information and little insider tips. We particularly enjoyed how she brought legends and anecdotes to life – suddenly, we saw the city with entirely different eyes. In between, there were always little breaks to enjoy and marvel, the perfect mix of culture, culinary delights, and joy of life. This tour not only made us full and happy but also brought Venice closer to us in a new, very personal way. An experience that we will remember for a long time!
We met our guide Greta as described and she was early and ready to go. We strolled to 4-5 locations and tasted 2-3 bites at each. They were local favorites, and really tasty! 😋. The tour is a walk and standing, but the locations were not far from one another. Great did a great job, and we’d totally recommend this tour. It’s not dinner, but delicious tastings.
