Venice: Guided Street Food Tour

Street food with a local

Venice's street food culture revolves around cicchetti, the small plates served at bacari across the city. This 2.5-hour guided tour takes you to the places where locals actually eat, with food samples at multiple stops and a guide who explains the culinary traditions behind what you are tasting.

The food

Cicchetti range from simple crostini with toppings to more elaborate preparations of fresh seafood, fried bites, and seasonal vegetables. Your guide selects stops that represent the range of Venetian street food, ensuring variety and quality at each one. The samples are included in the ticket, giving you a taste of each speciality without the guesswork of ordering in an unfamiliar language.

The route

The walking route takes you through parts of Venice that most tourists overlook, where the food is better and the prices lower. Your guide explains the neighbourhood histories as you walk, providing context about Venetian daily life that food tours uniquely deliver. The pace allows time to digest between stops and to absorb the atmosphere of each location.

Local knowledge

A local guide knows which bacari serve the freshest cicchetti, which ones locals prefer, and which to avoid. This knowledge is the tour's real value: after 2.5 hours, you know enough about Venetian food culture to make your own excellent choices for the rest of your stay. The guide can recommend restaurants for dinner and explain how to navigate a bacaro menu with confidence.
