Art and cicchetti
The perfect combination between art and food exists and is enclosed in this wonderful walking tour of Venice! A small group tour and the explanation of our local guide are the perfect ingredients to discover this wonderful city.
After meeting your dedicated guide, start the day in a historic café of the city with the first taste of an Italian breakfast: the typical combination of espresso (or cappuccino) and a sweet croissant. Then you will have the chance to stroll through the charming and romantic streets (here traditionally called Calli) and admire the beauty of the elegant palaces and bridges reflected in the waters of the canals.
Thanks to the guide's explanation, you will learn how the history of Venice has influenced its architecture, ranging from the Byzantine style of the wonderful and imposing St Mark's Basilica overlooking the famous St Mark's Square, to the lightness of the Gothic lines of the Doge's Palace (Palazzo Ducale).
With this tour you can combine the pleasure of admiring the highlights of the city, along with some very pleasant stops for your palate! In fact, you will be able to taste the typical snacks of local products (called cicchetti) that the Venetians love to accompany with a glass of wine.
You will take wonderful pictures of the Grand Canal and the famous Ponte di Rialto (Rialto Bridge) and then end this entertaining tour by savoring another Venetian specialty in the Rialto Fish Market (on market closing days we will stop in another local shop).

Start your journey by meeting with your guide. As you wander through the fascinating and enigmatic cobblestone streets, alleys, and bridges such as Calli, Ponti, and Rughette, you'll find yourself mesmerized by the most stunning sights. Feast your eyes on the breathtaking palaces and get a glimpse of eternity. Witness the grandeur and magnificence of St Mark's Square, which superbly demonstrates the prominence of Venice's past. Marvel at the impressive Venetian-Byzantine domes of the remarkable St Mark's Basilica. Once you've had your fill of the splendor, move on to the Gothic infrastructure of the Doge's Palace - a place that was once the government seat, Palace of Justice, prison, as well as home to the Doge. Finally, finish your journey with a mesmerizing trip across the haunting Bridge of Sighs. For a fulfilling experience of your taste buds and spirit, we plan on stopping at both traditional "Cicchetti" and local stores to sample the area's delicacies. Come experience the ultimate finale to this tour and the city of Venice at the legendary Ponte di Rialto over the stunning Grand Canale. Here, you'll discover the secrets behind the engineering of this beautiful structure that was once believed to be doomed for destruction (but has still stood tall for over 400 years!). Afterward, indulge in an unforgettable local experience with a Venetian Cicchetti and Italian Aperitivo meal. This is an opportunity that you can't afford to miss! For a truly complete Venetian experience, we recommend enhancing it with a half hour Gondola Ride. This will give you unexpected, special and romantic city views from the original source of its creation, the water. Don't miss out! A unique city like no other, Venice is comprised of art, tradition, history and flavours – the ingredients that make up its distinct culture and soul.
