How your day could unfold
A flexible, unscripted experience designed entirely around your interests. Your host will adapt the day based on what excites you mostWhat you’ll do
There’s a reason why Venice is the capital of aperitivo - reasons to stop and sample something delicious are as plentiful as the bridges in this fairytale floating city. Sip on Italian varietals in your choice Bacaro, a tiny bar where you can get a glass of wine and a cicchetto (mouth-watering savoury snacks) and share the bar counter with other Venetians, who’ve also earned their first aperitivo of the day. The gastronomic delights won’t end here - fancy tasting Osteria della Vedova’s famous meatballs, with a 150-year old secret recipe? Or perhaps the heavenly Biscotti Bussolai Buranelli (butter biscuits from Burano)? The best way to understand Venice is definitely by exploring its food culture, with a sated stomach and a matching smile.

Maria was prompt on meeting us at four hotel. She listened to all our requests. She gave us tips for exploring the city after the tour was finished. We never felt rushed. We loved having our own personal tour guide.

We walked and experienced several uncrowded ventures. Andrea introduced us to a few new areas in Venice that were outside of the big tourist areas which we loved.
