Guide tips
Itinerary
Meet your guide outside Despar Teatro Italia
Your tour begins outside the stunning Despar Teatro Italia, a former theater turned one of Italy’s most beautiful markets. But you’re not here for groceries—your guide’s ready to whisk you away for a night of irresistible food and wine.
Explore the Cannaregio neighborhood
Throughout the evening, you’ll get to know the real Venice, thanks to Cannaregio’s relaxed and genuine feel. Here, locals fill the bars, trattorias stay family-run, and the crowds feel a world away.
Enjoy a cicchetti tastings at Bacari
Now it’s time to dig in. Follow your guide into two traditional bacari, cozy Venetian wine bars where locals gather for cicchetti—small, savory bites paired with wine. You’ll learn how to order like a local and discover which flavor combinations Venetians swear by.
Learn the secret ingredients of the Venetian Spritz
This classic, bright orange drink is a rite of passage in Italy, but while most tourists sip without a clue, you’ll learn the secret ingredients. After watching the bartender craft this beloved cocktail, you'll have the opportunity to enjoy one yourself.
Stop for a traditional sit-down dinner
With your appetite kick-started thanks to the aperitivi, a sit-down dinner couldn’t come at a better time. You’ll enjoy classic Venetian dishes paired with an ombra (a small glass of local wine) while chatting with your guide and group in a cozy, unhurried setting.
Taste the sweetness of artisanal gelato
Think you can tell real gelato from imitation? You’ll get the insider’s lesson during your final stop at one of Venice’s most beloved gelaterias. With your guide’s tips, you’ll savor authentic flavors crafted from fresh ingredients that change with the seasons.
Your tour ends near Ponte de l'Ogio
By the time you reach the quiet canals near the Grand Canal, you’ll be full of food, laughter, and a hint of spritz-fueled happiness. Your guide can help you catch a water taxi or suggest the perfect spot for a nightcap.

I would highly recommend this tour. Our guide, Daria, born in and still living in Venice. Do this tour first because she was very knowledgeable on many local restaurants, beyond those visited on this tour. We had 4 stops, the first 2 we sampled authentic Venetian Cicchetti, wine and a sprintz all delicious. The third stop we had a creamy clam risotto and wine, magnifico. There's no better way to finish than with an excellent artisan gelato.

The sit down meal was ordinary, other stops food was great. Our guide, Chantel, made the experience exceptional. We were only ones on our tour others canceled, she shared a lot of Venice history as well as the food, and answered our many questions. Felt like having a relative or old friend taking us around.
