Overview

Seven tastings, four drinks, and a walk through San Polo as the light goes down: that is the shape of this three-hour Devour Italy tour. A local English-speaking guide leads a group capped at 10 guests from one local spot to the next, pairing cicchetti with Venetian drinks and filling in the history behind. Reviewers repeatedly describe the portions as filling, several saying they left full, and the route doubles as a low-key sightseeing walk past the Scuola Grande di San Rocco and the Frari church, both viewed from outside.

The tour starts and finishes at Campo San Tomà, in front of the well, with the San Tomà ferry stop nearby. Reviewers consistently credit their guides with deep local knowledge, and at least one guide mentioned in reviews grew up in Venice. The group also passes through Campo Santa Margherita, one of the listed stops on the route.

It suits travellers who want a full evening meal structured around local food and drink, and who can walk at a moderate pace with long stretches of standing. Vegetarians, pescatarians, dairy-free diners, pregnant women and non-drinkers can be accommodated with advance notice, though vegan and gluten-free diets cannot, due to cross-contamination risk.
