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.

Anna was kind , and warm. She was welcoming to us and very knowledgeable, answering our many questions. She led us around pointing out different buildings; explaining some of the architecture, as well as canals and shared a lot about Venus and the local foods and some traditions. She was so pleasant and made our evening fun. I would take any tour with her, and highly recommend her to my friends and family.

We had such a great time on our Eat like a local tour! Jennifer was not only super knowledgeable about the different types of food and drink we had, she also gave us a great history lesson of Venice. She also was able to switch some of the food for me since I don’t eat seafood. Highly recommend her and this tour for anyone who wants to eat like a local and learn all about Venice!

Know before you book
Is this a private tour?
Yes! This is a fully private Madrid tapas tour, led by your own local guide and tailored to your pace and preferences.
How much food is included?
Plenty! With food and wine at every stop, this tour easily replaces dinner.
Can you accommodate dietary restrictions?
We can accommodate vegetarians and guests who prefer non-caffeinated drinks. Unfortunately, due to the nature of French pastries, this tour is not ideal for gluten- or dairy-free diets.
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.
