Tour Description

Stroll through the buzzing Rialto district led by a local Venetian foodie in this Secret Street Food Tour of Venice in 2,5 hours!

With so many touristy restaurants on the island, it can be hard to make the most of Venetian cuisine and wine on your own. Let a local insider help!
On this exploration of the most bustling markets, cafés and cicchetti bars in Venice you will delve into an authentic side of Venetian culture.

Plunge into the unique Rialto fish market, where the best seafood restaurants in Venice buy their fish daily, and learn how to determine if a fish is really fresh. You will also visit the vibrant Rialto fruit and vegetable market and discover how products in the city are transported by boat. From there, you will head down charming alleyways and stop at traditional shops of the city, such as local butcheries and bakeries, learning what kinds of meats are popular in Venice.

You will also get to see one of the oldest spice stores in the world, eat and drink at the best cafés, bars and restaurants in Venice. Hungry yet? It’s time for a tasting at three popular local bars! Enjoy a selection of cicchetti, ranging from crostini (bread with delicious toppings), fritti (fried fish and vegetables) and Venetian panini (sandwiches) washed down with some prosecco and tastings of both local red and white wines. Once you have had your fill, it’s time to finish your meal as the Italians do – with coffee and – if you dare – grappa, a local "digestive" liquor.

Before you part ways with your local expert, make sure to get recommendations for restaurants and bars so that you can continue eating and enjoying Venice like a local. They will give you tips on how to avoid the pricey, more touristy restaurants and where to seek out the best food at the best prices – and what to try when you get there! Learn about Venice through its incredible food. If you are the kind of visitor counting your trip to Italy in meals rather than days, our all-inclusive Secret Street Food Tour of Venice in 2,5 hours is perfect for you. Just be sure to come hungry – we haven’t scrimped on anything!

Daria K. with our Tour Guide Roberta

"As a food lover, I know too well to avoid overly touristy places, so I thought booking a tour would be my best bet. I'm really happy to say it was a great choice. Roberta was a fantastic guide, she took us to the best stalls in the market and offered us so many tidbits of food history I had no idea about. A must if you are in Venice!", Daria K.
