The Experience
What your day looks like
Experience Venice the way Venetians live it — in the lively neighbourhoods where they meet friends, enjoy cicchetti, and take a break over good food and drinks. Discover where locals go for a quick bite or an early evening aperitivo, taste traditional lagoon dishes and creative cicchetti, and sip regional wines and Spritz as your guide shares the food and bar traditions that shape everyday life in the city. Along the way, explore the bacari culture near Rialto and enjoy a traditional traghetto gondola crossing of the Grand Canal — the quick, no frills way Venetians move through their city.

Giorgia was a wonderful and knowledgeable guide! We had a blast exploring Venezia through foods and wines. I am now also a Select Spritz fan instead of Aperol! I appreciated that the tour also focused on family run local businesses that have been around for years! The food was plentiful and my only recommendation would be to provide a list of the locations and names so we can try again. Although we did have fun trying to hunt down one of the places the next day!! Thank you for a memorable night!

Our tour guide was a joy, and very knowledgeable. Not a single question was asked that she could not answer, and there were many. We got a real taste of local quisine and local wines. We walked through several historic sections of the city and took a brief gondola ride across a canal. A very enjoyable experience.
