Day 1 - Saturday, October 3, 2026

Private Introductory Venice Walk with Cicchetti Tasting
Meet our English-speaking local expert and start walking with her along the narrow alleys and small squares where the ancient Venetian taverns sometimes hide: turn a corner you weren't expecting to turn and marvel at what you see in front of you: a small square facing the waters of the Grand Canal where gondolas silently glide at sunset time, and the tavern where locals and visitors enjoy their end-of-the-working day time. Enjoy a drink, a glass of wine, or the typical Venetian aperitif, called 'Spritz' (with white wine or prosecco, soda, and a local liqueur) pairing it with what Venetians still nowadays call 'Cicchetti', for your first taste of these Venice tapas. The best things to do in Venice often revolve around food. These 'Cicchetti' were one of the first examples of street food: they were offered in Venice centuries ago whenever wine was tasted and drunk, in the hundreds of taverns all around the city.
