Eat and drink your way through Venice’s Rialto and beyond on a small-group food tasting with cicchetti, seafood, wine, and gelato.

“We thoroughly enjoyed our food tour of the Rialto Mercato area with Anna. We strolled about the market a bit and then sat down at a couple of her favorite restaurants to sample some wine and local specialties. At other venues, we stood at a counter or outside to taste some more treats and finished up at her favorite gelateria. While we ate, Anna told us about the market vendors and their eating habits on market days. She also gave us tips on how to spot a good local restaurant, avoid the tourist traps, and not overpay for a view.”

“Had a really lovely time, our guide was lovely, very enthusiastic and welcoming. The food was all really nice and lots of wine, we would definitely recommend, good for singles and couples. Only negative was the size of the group was larger than expected and some of the places were closing as it was Sunday evening. Maybe there should be an earlier start time for the last tour to allow sufficient time for the event.”

“We had a fantastic experience on our Prosecco tour, guided by the wonderful Sébastien. He was incredibly nice and informative, making the whole trip enjoyable. The weather was perfect, which is rare for October, and it added to the charm of the day. Our first stop was at a small, family-owned Prosecco producer, where we were greeted by a lovely and happy dog. We got to taste three different wines, and my favorite was the Prima Luna, made using the traditional method. The next winery we visited was much larger, and there we tasted Brut, Extra Brut, and Rosé. My favorite was the Extra Brut, which only had 2% sugar—it…”
