There are 8 stops on this tour with plenty of food to make sure you do not need breakfast nor dinner. You will start your day with some coffee, like the Italians do. Venice has a tradition that goes a long way back in time in making tasty pastries, and you will get to try some of the heavenly delicious pastries that the Venetian has to offer. After your sweet tooth has been satisfied, stroll through some wine bars and savor typical Venetian drinks accompanied by the famous cicchetti. Try 5-6 different types of fish and learn how each dish is created. Even Venice is known for seafood dishes, there are some delicious local cured meat that you have to try too! Then go to the backstreet, visit the oldest bar, find out where the famous lover in history used to frequent and of course try their signature dish. After that, crawl your way to get some traditional Venetian cookies and learn why they are so good, and the tour will end with some authentic gelato! During this gelato stop, the guide will explain how to identify good quality gelato shops even in a middle of a touristy place. The wonderful food provided on the the tour are all in season to make sure all of our clients try the freshest recipes. (On Tuesday morning, and Saturday afternoon tour, or on a special holiday there is a possibility that there would be no risotto, but we will replace it with another local favourite or dish of the day!)

If the infant will be sharing food from the parents plate, we kindly ask that you pay for a child ticket on this tour because this tour guarantees every one to be full and well-fed, and we cant guarantee that to every one if this happens.
  • If your chosen language for the tour is not English, and the group at that time slot has less than 5 people total signed up, you would be joined with an English speaking group with a guide that speaks multiple languages including the language that you requested. If you would like an excursion with the guide speaks Italian, or French, or German, or Spanish for only your group, and your group is less than 5 people, it would be a private tour and surcharge will apply. Please message us in advanced if you would like to book a private tour option. Please note that all services and communication on holidays will be conducted in English.
  • This tour guarantees you to be well-fed ( full ) by the end of the tour. This is our guarantee to you to demonstrate how much food there is on the tour. This guarantee applies when you eat everything that is present to you on the tour, and still hungry at the end ( which so far, never happened). But incase it does, please tell our guide towards the end, and we will give you more food till you are full. If you have any dietary restriction ( no fish, no meat or gluten free etc. , for example, you need to tell us in advanced at least 24 hours before the departure time) else this term doesnt apply because the restaurant wont be able to accommodate the guests as well as they could without advanced notice
