¡Un gran momento de nuestra estancia en Venecia! Nuestro guía turístico fue entusiasta y hizo que la velada fuera muy agradable. También tuvimos un gran grupo de nuevos amigos al final de la noche. Toda la comida y el vino estaban deliciosos. Me encantó especialmente el último restaurante con un hermoso patio, luces de cuerda y pasta deliciosa. Recomiendo un tour gastronómico para conocer una nueva ciudad y cultura, ¡y este tour es muy divertido!

The Venice: Eat & Drink Like a Local – Evening Cicchetti Tour was a fantastic experience and one of the highlights of our time in Venice. Anna was a wonderful guide—friendly, knowledgeable, and passionate about Venetian food and culture. She took us to local spots that we would never have found on our own and shared interesting stories about the city’s culinary traditions along the way. The food and drink selections were excellent. We enjoyed a variety of delicious cicchetti, traditional pasta, cold cuts, and gelato, along with a classic Venetian spritz, Prosecco, and local wines. Everything was thoughtfully chosen and gave us a true taste of Venice. Beyond the food, the tour provided a great introduction to local life and the neighborhoods of Venice. Anna made everyone feel welcome, and the evening was relaxed, informative, and a lot of fun. Highly recommended for anyone wanting to experience Venice through its food, wine, and local culture. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Beatrice was very informative and fun to be around. Really engaged the group to the point that we all continued on for another cocktail before we called it a night.

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?
Plenty. With eight tastings and three drinks, this is a full meal—and then some.
Can you accommodate dietary restrictions?
Yes, with advance notice. Let us know when booking and we'll work with our partners to adjust tastings where possible.
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.
