Everything you should know before you book
Venice eats standing up: cicchetti — small plates of baccalà, fried seafood, and crostini — paired with an ombra of wine at neighbourhood bacari. Food tours lead you between the bars locals actually use, away from the tourist traps near San Marco. Rialto Market tours add the morning fish-and-produce market that has fed the city for centuries, often with a wine tasting built in.
Book an evening cicchetti crawl, or a morning tour to catch the Rialto Market. The market winds down by early afternoon, so timing matters for the food-market tours; evening bar crawls are the most social and the most authentically Venetian. Private food tours suit groups who want a tailored route and pace.
