Itinerary
Visit a historic Venetian bakery and street food shop, serving locals since 1905. Here, we’ll taste a classic mortadella, pesto and buffalo mozarella pizza.
Enjoy a glass of DOCG Prosecco paired with two traditional Venetian bites: a savory meatball and polenta topped with shrimp in saor, combining local flavors with a sparkling touch.
Take a panoramic stroll through Cannaregio, exploring the charming Ponte Chiodo, Venice’s only bridge without railings, and the historic Misericordia. Enjoy picturesque canals, quiet alleyways, and the authentic Venetian atmosphere.
As the world's first ghetto, it remains an indelible symbol of resilience and the complex interplay of diverse communities in Venice.
Pass through Venice’s Jewish Ghetto at Campo de Gheto Novo, one of the oldest in Europe. Explore its historic streets, learn about its rich cultural heritage, and soak in the unique atmosphere of this historic Venetian quarter.
Cozy Venetian bacaro where you will enjoy a spritz-making demo, learning about its history. Sip on a classic spritz and taste two traditional cicchetti, tiny sandwiches with codfish & sadrines or shrimp in saor.
From November to February, end at Pasticceria Nobile and get ready for a Tiramisù, the most famous Italian dessert.
From March to October, close the tour with a creamy, fresh gelato.

Giulia was incredibly attentive and wonderful. We ended up accidentally on a private tour and it felt like an old friend was showing us around the city. The food was unbelievably good, and we had a great time with Giulia. We will definitely be doing this again.
A wonderful afternoon spent exploring parts of Venice that we wouldn’t have necessarily visited. Our guide Dani was friendly, knowledgeable and shared many interesting facts not only about the food & wine but local history and the origins of the food & wine that we sampled. An enjoyable few hours, we would highly recommend, especially if you manage to get Dani as your tour guide.

Had an excellent experience with Dani! She was such a great conversationalist, remembering information we shared with her and connecting it to the interesting facts she shared about Venice, the food, and Italy overall.

I highly recommend this tour to anyone looking to explore Venice beyond the typical tourist spots!
Daniela was an excellent host, very knowledgable, passionate and personable. This is our third Eating Europe tours so I feel confident to recommend them. It doesn’t feel like a big, touristy group, it feels authentic and genuine. I will admit the Venice tour was less food and drinks but this is reflected in the price.
