Overview

Venetian cuisine is famously hard to get to know—but not when you’re in the company of a local food lover who knows the city like the back of their hand. Hop from one bacaro (Venetian wine bar) to another sampling two different types of cicchetti and other local specialties accompanied by drinks at every stop. By the end of the night, your expert foodie guide will show you where to eat, how to eat, and what to eat when visiting La Serenissima.

We had the most wonderful time and our guide, Barbara, was fantastic. She took us to fabulous local places, ones that she's been going to all her life, so it really felt like an insider's experience instead of a tourist experience. She had interesting information and stories to share with us throughout the night; she took excellent care of us all and made sure we were having a great time. We had our 7-year-old daughter w/us (she's an adventurous eater) and Barbara was so sweet with her and really made for a fun, relaxing, joyful evening. Make sure you bring cash with you so that you can tip Barbara at the end of the night. She doesn't ask for tips, but she most definitely deserves them!
