Description

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!

Beatrice was great guide- able to change as needed on the fly for the best of the group. Great knowledge of the area, delicious foods & drinks. We ended up going back to one of the stops because we enjoyed it so much. Glad we did this tour.

The variety was limiting...

The variety was limiting and we didn’t sit down at all. I was hoping we would have had a table at a few of the establishments.

Good food in Venice

Out of the way dining venues provided delicious food. Our guide took us to her favorite places for authentic Venetian food.

Evening of tasting and fun.

There was a mixup on dates. Double check times and dates after you book. All ended well because we went the next day. Our guide was charming and fun. Emma took us to fun places, and the food and drinks were delicious. We ended with gelato. A favorite of mine.

Great way to explore Venice

We had an awesome tour, visiting five different restaurants throughout Venice. Our guide was sweet and engaging. We had a great group of people on our tour. I do have two recommendations: 1. limit the number of choices at each restaurant to 2-4 choices. 2. give more history of the area with each restaurant and why the food is important to the region. That being said...I highly recommend this wonderful way to explore the food and area of Venice

I’d do this again

More than surprised how Viator pulled through. We traveled from Zurich and the weather was forecasting rain. We were wondering how this tour was going to happen when we learned that our tour guide called out sick. But it worked out. Viator was able to find another tour guide, Emma, who was absolutely amazing. She took us to five different stops. Told us about the goods we could choose out what she chose. Different recommendations for drinks at each place were available as well. The food was great presenting a great way to start this leg of our journey. Time was spent at each location so we never felt rushed with an explanation of the restaurant and the food we would have. The night was finished with dessert. Emma was the perfect guide. Her outgoing personality got everyone engaged in the evening. We asked her if there was an especial restaurant we could go to to celebrate our anniversary ands the next day she texted over recommendations. My wife and I could not have been more pleased with this event. Thank you Viator and thank you Emma.
