    Full Description

    A marvelous experience in Venice awaits! Join us for an exquisite 4-hours tour through authentic osterias, artisanal food producers, spectacular monuments, and must-see sights, all while savoring the flavors and beauty of the city. Led by a local expert guide, this foodie promenade offers a perfect blend of culinary delights and stunning Venetian scenery.

    Our journey begins at Campo San Giacomo di Rialto, a charming square that has remained untouched since the Middle Ages and served as Venice's bustling trade center for centuries. Here, you’ll have your first taste of Venetian delicacies and explore the vibrant Rialto Market, the oldest fish market in Europe. As you stroll among the colorful stands, your guide will share fascinating insights about the regional produce, from fresh fruits and vegetables to fish and meats, bringing the market’s lively atmosphere to life.

    Food is at the heart of Venetian culture, and this tour immerses you in its finest offerings. Indulge in soft polenta with marinated seafood, cuttlefish, and stockfish, as well as olives from Lake Garda and cheeses from the Asiago highlands, all paired with the renowned wines and prosecco of the region. Along the way, you’ll wander through picturesque alleyways, cross the iconic Rialto Bridge, and stop by historic bars and shops to meet local food artisans and sample their creations. Highlights include visits to Campo San Bartolomeo, a glimpse of Marco Polo’s house, and views of the Grand Canal framed by its grand palaces.

    This unforgettable journey combines food, wine, and sightseeing into one perfect experience. With stops at over several different eateries, there’s enough delicious food to replace your lunch, including Venetian classics like Tiramisù, which was invented here! The tour concludes at the majestic Campo San Giovanni e Paolo, home to one of Venice’s most revered churches, where the Doges’ funerary celebrations were held. Say farewell with your belly full of Venetian delicacies and your heart full of unforgettable memories of the Eternal City of Canals.
