The tour was fabulous! Our guide, Barbara, was absolutely amazing! She was so personable, passionate and made every moment enjoyable. We are a family of five with 3 grown children and it was a fun experience for us to share together. We thoroughly enjoyed the history of the food, wine and the areas in which we travelled through.

¡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!

Know before you book
Is this a private tour?
Yes! This experience is completely private, with a local culinary expert dedicated solely to making your tour exceptional.
How much food is included?
Plenty! This tour includes enough tapas to replace a full meal, with optional drinks along the way.
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.
