Venice Food Tour with a Local Foodie, 100% Personalised & Private
Description
Let your guide lead the way to some of the best bacari that only a local foodie could point out. After sampling your choice of local wine, Aperol spritz or Campari, you’ll be fuelled up for some exploring. You’ll get the chance to try traditional Venetian crustless sandwiches or ‘tramezzinis’ with ham and mushrooms, perhaps creamed codfish or marinated sardines. Visit must-try foodie havens; from ‘polenta bianca’ to ‘fritto misto’ (fried seafood) and ‘lasagnette con nero di seppia’ (pasta with squid ink). Our handpicked hosts are culinary connoisseurs and history buffs, bakers and bankers, students and seniors. Like the people who travel with us, they have different backgrounds and interests – but they’re all so passionate about the place they call home, they choose to spend their free time sharing it with the like-minded travelers matched to them. Your meeting place and time as well as your itinerary are flexible, so you can plan and experience with your host to meet your needs.

Having paid nearly $500 for a family of 4, and being on similar tours we had higher expectations. Our guide was very nice and knowledgeable about the City. However, the locations he took us to seemed unplanned and the food and wine were inexpensive selections. Additionally, we received little background on the local food and wine scene. The highlight of the tour was a trip to a local festival. We really enjoyed that experience as it was well outside the tourist area. In fact all of the spots were tucked away from tourists. That was nice. Our guide was pleasant and spoke impeccable English. We understand that Americans can be notably obsessive about our hygiene and smell. This is something the tour guides with American tourists should consider. Especially when food is the primary attraction. Smell nice, etc.
