A la Carte Venice: Flexible Food Tour with a Local Guide

2 hours and 30 minutes


A flexible food tour through Venice’s bacari, where you choose what to eat and drink while exploring local flavors with your passionate foodie guide.

You can’t truly experience Venice without sipping a Spritz in a local bar! With your glass in hand, we’ll begin a culinary journey through the city’s lively streets. Together, we’ll hop from historic wine bars to family-owned shops, where you’ll decide what to taste: mouthwatering cicchetti, fresh seafood, local cheeses, or classic Venetian sweets — all paired with the wines you prefer.

This food tour is designed to be completely flexible: you order what you like and pay as you go, discovering authentic flavors at your own pace while I guide you through the vibrant San Marco and San Polo districts. Between bites, you’ll uncover hidden corners, hear stories about Venetian traditions, and enjoy the warm atmosphere of the bacari loved by locals.

We’ll end the experience with a traditional treat — perhaps artisan gelato or a Venetian cookie — the perfect sweet note to close your journey.

Vegetarian or have special dietary needs? No problem. Just let me know in advance, and I’ll tailor the tour to your preferences.
