Bacaro Tour : Walk, eat and drink in Venice (opens in a new tab)

15 2 h

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...
