The tour will begin in the heart of Venice’s Old Town, at St Mark’s Square, featuring famous sights such as Saint Mark’s Basilica and the Gothic-style Doge’s Palace. Between sightseeing and learning about local history and culture, you will visit venues for a guided tasting session. First, you will dine at a popular Venetian restaurant. The full-course meal will include antipasto (traditional appetizers), a soup, and regional specialties such as Fegato Alla Veneziana (a liver dish) or Bigoli in salsa (bigoli pasta dish). Next, you will have Fritolle (Italian fried doughnut) or another delicious dessert at a boutique patissiere. We will also serve beverages such as a cup of aromatic Italian coffee (or tea) and a soda drink.
This is your chance to try the Venetian-style Polenta or Sarde in Saor (fried sardines), as well as 1 Italian beer like the famous Nasto Azzurro. Throughout the tour, your Private Guide will entertain you with more fascinating stories about Venice.
