Our guide Beatrice was very good! She was able to give us lots of good information about Venice and of local establishments and wine. The places she chose had a variety of great food and the ambience was warm and relaxing. I enjoyed being in a small group and as I was solo, I was grateful to have shared the evening with a lovely family from Ireland ! A great experience!

We gingen naar 4 plaatsen om eten en drinken te ervaren, allemaal prachtig met het laatste restaurant dat tiramisu serveert ook. Onze gids groeide op in Venetië en was zeer deskundig en voegde veel toe aan onze ervaring.

Fabulous evening with our guide, Alessia. We learned bit about Venice as we strolled throwing two neighborhoods in this dreamy city. Excellent small bites and wine.

Maria C. delivered an outstanding Venice food tour — authentic dishes, quality wines, and sharp local insight. The stops were well chosen, the pacing smooth, and the experience felt genuinely local rather than touristy. Highly recommended.

Know before you book
Is this a private tour?
Yes — this is a fully private tour your own guide and maximum 8 of your friends and family. The best of Barcelona’s food culture isn’t always easy to find. With a private guide, you get the flavors, the stories, and the places that locals love.
How much food is included?
15+ tastings at 8 spots—more than enough for a full meal. Come hungry! Water will be served at some spots, but we recommend bringing a water bottle if you get thirsty.
Can you accommodate dietary restrictions?
We can offer vegetarian alternatives, gluten-free, dairy-free, and non-alcoholic drinks. However, celiac disease and severe allergies are not easily accommodated due to the risk of cross-contamination.
Why choose a private Venice food tour?
Because Venice is best explored with someone who knows where to find the real flavors—away from the crowds and into the spots locals love.
What are cicchetti?
Cicchetti are Venice’s answer to tapas: small, flavorful bites served in traditional bars across the city. Think creamy baccalà mantecato, sweet-and-sour sarde in saor, fried snacks, and more—perfect alongside a glass of local wine.
What makes this different from other Venice food tours?
This isn’t just a tasting tour. It’s a chance to experience Venice’s food culture from the inside out, guided by someone who knows the stories behind every bite.
What is the cancellation policy for private food tours?
Private food tours may be cancelled and refunded up to 7 days before the tour date. Thank you for understanding.
Can I customize the route or food stops on a private tour?
Our routes and tastings are thoughtfully planned in advance. Each stop has been chosen for its craft, character, and place in the neighborhood’s daily life. Keeping the route intact allows the experience to unfold smoothly without rushing or waiting. That way you can simply arrive and enjoy a table, seat, or bite waiting just for you. While the route itself stays the same, the rhythm is yours. Your guide adjusts the pace to suit your group.
