Itinerary

Locals love this unfussy bar for its custom tramezzini sandwiches with high-quality Italian ingredients. This is the place where most people working in the Rialto area stop for lunch or for a quick break.

Time for an introduction to cicchetti, Venice’s famous tapas-like bites, at a family-run bar. Enjoy two local favorites paired with a drink.

Step into the heart of Venice’s food scene: the Rialto Fish Market. As you peruse the overflowing aisles, your guide will explain how ancient trade routes and a strong maritime history have shaped the diets of Venetians, and how they still get the freshest fish from the Mediterranean.

From there, you'll step into a bright, friendly little shop for a street-food style take on Venetian seafood made with products fresh from the nearby market.

Head to the locals’ bacaro (wine bar) of choice for an aperitif in the Rialto area. They’re known for their high-quality light bites and spritzes, which you’ll try for yourself.

The fastest way to travel in Venice is by water. You'll hop on a gondola for a short ride to cross the famous Grand Canal with your guide en route to Cannaregio. Formerly the city’s Jewish Ghetto, today it’s where locals go to eat, drink and socialize. Note: The short gondola ride is included on the 10AM tour only.

After a short ride in a gondola to cross the Grand Canal, it’s time for lunch! Tucked down a tiny side street, this cozy modern bacaro is one of Venice's best-kept secrets. Dig into freshly prepared risotto and sip a glass of wine.

Your tour ends at an innovative gelateria tucked down a hidden side street. Cap off your morning on a delicious note with your choice of one of their creative flavors.
