This tour is a compromise between an informative walk and a food tour. I will take you to 2 different "bacari" where you will taste a glass of wine (or soft drink) and a cicchetto in each bar and the last place will be to taste a fantastic homemade ICE CREAM (in the summer) or a typical dessert. At the same time I will show you a more authentic and less touristy Venice, we will see a courtyard with a legendary history, a particular bridge, buildings out of time, I will tell you anecdotes and curiosities about this splendid city ... and much more!
Venice is a magical city, so don't be surprised by what we will see, because only in Venice can this happen...

Roberto was super accommodating, allowing me to attend this tour during the craziest time of the year in Venice: The Venice Carnivale- imagine that!!!
Despite of us getting stuck in a wall of people, and being surrounded by thousands of locals and tourists in costume for the Venice Carnivale, Roberto still managed to take me to the places he promised, and was patient and super friendly the whole time.
There is SO much that we would never know about a place until a native sits with us at the table, walks with us through the streets, and shares facts that we would never even think to ask about.
Thank you for a very special experience, Roberto! Your kindness and knowledge are quite evident! I had a very unique time!

Thanks Roberto, just as we were about to give up on Venice, because it is so crowded, you showed us a different side to the city. Walking away from the crowds, and seeing places we never knew existed. Absolutely the highlight of our visit. Can't wait to go to a bacaro again.

Compared to other food & walking tours which charge approx 100 / person, I don’t believe this tour offers good value. This was more like a 50 / person experience. We completed the tour in 95 minutes. On the 3 stops we were provided with two small snacks (two crostini with meat or fish and a gelato), a shot of wine, and a glass of wine. The two bacaros we stopped at had not reserved a table for us, which is customary on these tours. The main stops included a grocery store that was once a theater, the only bridge in Venice without railings, the most narrow alley way in Venice, a large building which once housed a professional basketball team (though we didn’t go inside), a quiet plaza near the Regatto bridge, and an old building converted to a four story luxury shopping mall.

Roberto was happy to take me on a tour as the only person. He is enthusiastic about the history of Venice and, for those who don't speak Italian or Venetian, his English was excellent. He showed me some unusual sites I would never have known about otherwise.

Roberto was a great guide. He combined an informative historical and current overview of Venice. The places he chose to stop offered a sampling of what the locals ate and drank. I particularly like how he took me to areas that the average tourist would never go to. If you're booking this tour ask for Roberto.

Venice is amazing, but learning about it from a local truly brought this destination to a different level! Roberto exceeded all our expectations and was extremely sweet and kind. We left Venice with a much greater understanding of the city, culture and curiosities ! Highly recommend this enriching experience.

Lovely way to see the ‘real’ Venice away from the crowds and eat its speciality tapas. Roberto was a great guide full of fun interesting facts

You can't go wrong with a tour from Roberto. He is a friendly, passionate man who loves to share his country with guests. While primarily booked as a food tour, he took the time to show us some special Venetian sites off the beaten path - and the route between our food stops took us past some of the most beautiful scenes I've ever seen in person. Roberto guided us away from the tourist crowds and shared delicious food and treats with us in local bacari. I highly recommend a tour with Roberto to make the most of this beautiful city!

Wonderful and entertaining walking tour with Roberto, saw quiet parts of Venice we would never have found and some gems off the tourist trail. Highly recommend
