30 min

At our fourth stop, fully immerse yourself in the warmth of Venetian hospitality. Enjoy a delicious sit-down meal featuring some of Venice’s finest traditional dishes—choose between pasta with squid ink, battered codfish and polenta, or parmigiana alla melanzana. Let the rich flavors unfold with each bite. This stop is your chance to truly experience Venice’s culinary soul in the most authentic way possible.

Cannaregio
10 min

First night in Venice

My husband and I really enjoyed our tour with Daria. She is a local Venetian. She is knowledgeable and engaging. We enjoyed the food we got to try, and the people on our tour were very friendly. We had a small group so made things more intimate.
