This is a typical itinerary for this product

Stop At: Mercati di Rialto, Campo della Pescaria Vicino il Ponte di Rialto, 30125 Venice Italy

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!)

We had a great tour with Elena - tried lots of different food and drinks and appreciated Elena’s explanations of the history behind Venetian gastronomy as well as her willingness to answer all our questions. Would recommend this tour to anyone looking for an introduction to Venice’s food and drink.

I would highly recommend this tour. Our guide was extremely knowledgeable and entertaining. The food we tried was from family owned restaurants that have been in Venice for generations. It was a great experience!

Elena was a fantastic guide. We found small shops and restaurants off the beaten path, and food and wine were excellent. She made accommodations for dietary restrictions. There was plenty of food. She gave us good advice on how to find good places to eat and avoid tourist traps
