All of the food stops were excellent except the Gelato one. I suggest a different vendor as I've had better Gelato.
Meeting and ending locations were very easy to navigate.
Appreciate having the tastings sitting down rather than standing.
Guide was friendly and kept a slow pace for all to follow.

The Venice at Sunset Food and Wine Tour was easily one of the highlights of our entire Glaciers and Gondolas itinerary. My family absolutely raved about this experience from beginning to end.
We visited five different bacari throughout Venice and sampled an incredible variety of cicchetti and local specialties. This was not a tour where you leave hungry — there was far more food than we expected. In addition to the smaller bites, the experience even included a sit-down pasta dinner where we could choose our own dish. My son was especially excited to finally try the famous Venetian squid ink black pasta.
The wine and drinks throughout the evening were also excellent and paired perfectly with the food selections.
What truly made this tour exceptional, however, was our guide. She was a native Venetian, and her passion and pride for her city and culture came through in every stop and every story she shared. It made the experience feel authentic rather than touristy.
I also want to specifically mention how accommodating the tour was regarding my shellfish allergy. Since so much Venetian cuisine includes shellfish, I was initially concerned about how much I would actually be able to enjoy. Our guide went above and beyond to make sure alternatives were arranged for me at the various stops, and I never once felt like I was missing out on the experience.
Absolutely outstanding tour and one I would highly recommend to anyone visiting Venice.

I thought the tour was very good. Our guide, Anna, was so energetic and fun. I thought the drinks were great but the food wasn’t as good as the other 2tour we did in Italy.

What is a cicchetti tour in Venice?
A cicchetti tour in Venice is your chance to eat like a local. You'll hop between bacari—Venetian wine bars—sampling traditional small bites (cicchetti), sipping wine or spritz, and uncovering a side of the city most visitors miss.
Where will we go on the tour?
You’ll explore the Dorsoduro and San Polo neighborhoods—home to some of the best cicchetti bars in Venice. These areas are local favorites, rich in history and low on tourist traps.
Will I be full after the tour?
We get this question a lot! With 7 tastings, including a pasta course, dessert, and four drinks, this tour is more than enough for a full meal for most people.
Can I find the best cicchetti in Venice on this tour?
Yes! We’ve curated stops based on flavor, authenticity, and local love—so you’ll taste some of the best cicchetti Venice has to offer.
How many people are on the tour?
We keep groups small (max 10) for an intimate experience—more like a night out with friends than a formal tour.
Is this a good experience for solo travelers?
Yes! Many guests come solo and leave with new friends, full bellies, and unforgettable memories.
What makes this different from other cicchetti & wine tours of Venice?
We go deeper. This isn’t just a bar crawl—it’s a story-driven, flavor-packed experience led by local experts who love Venice (and know its best-kept secrets). Plus, we find the special, small local businesses that deserve a spotlight and reveal the real side of Venice.
