Enjoy the morning and Lunch at your leisure
This afternoon you will meet our guide to begin our journey through the city, eating and drinking as the Venetians do! Duration: 2.5 hours.
We will begin our tour exploring the cafés, and cicchetti bars, delve into an authentic side of Venetian culture and of course, enjoy lots of tastings along the way. We will stroll through the area where the famous Rialto Market is held (mornings only) discovering the charming alleyways, “streets” named after the foods and other items that have been sold there for centuries. We will then head towards three of the most popular, local bars serving up cicchetti, Venice’s answer to Spain’s tapas! Enjoy cicchetti of crostini, fritti and Venetian panini alongside prosecco, the popular “bubbly” of the Veneto region, and tastings of both red and white local wine, all included. Once you’ve had your fill it’s time to finish your meal as the Italians do with coffee and grappa, a local “digestive” liquor. Before you part ways with your local expert guide, she will give you some suggestions on where to enjoy dinner this evening. After the tour you will explore this magical city and its Venetian Canals by gondola. Sit back, relax to enjoy the views during this charming ride through the canals with your Gondoliere. This is a perfect way to admire the beauty, charm and elegance of this city and it’s palazzi.
