Overview

This two-hour walk is built around the bacaro, the Venetian wine bar at the centre of the city's eating and drinking culture. A local guide leads the group from bar to bar, with local wine and cicchetti included at the stops, and history woven in between. Reviewers regularly describe the route as moving away from the busiest tourist streets and into quieter parts of the city, including the San Polo area.

The tour is private, so only your own group takes part. Recent reviewers consistently praise their guides as knowledgeable, personable and local, several noting theirs was born and raised in the city. One traveller described it as a good introduction taken just a few hours after arriving.

The meeting point is Campo San Bortolomio, in front of the statue, and the tour ends at Campo San Giacomo. Confirmation arrives within 48 hours of booking, subject to availability. The route is wheelchair and pushchair accessible, and service animals are allowed.

Common issues. Hotel pickup and drop off are not included, so you need to make your own way to Campo San Bortolomio. Confirmation can take up to 48 hours and depends on availability, so it is not instant. Reviews vary on the exact number of stops, with some travellers reporting three bars and others four, so treat the route as flexible. Cancellations must be made at least 24 hours before the start time for a full refund, and changes inside that window are not accepted.
