Tour Description

Cruise through Venice’s culinary heart with a food tour in Cannaregio and the historic Jewish Ghetto. Experience a progressive lunch or dinner that takes you through the diverse styles of Venetian cuisine.

Venice is so much more than beautiful canals: escape the crowded tourist spots and wonder through quieter alleys, where the true essence of Venetian life unfolds, cicchetti and all.  As you savor each dish and drink, uncover the centuries-old influences that have crafted the distinct flavors of Venice.

"Had a lovely tour with Romena. She did such a great job showing us a side of Venice we didn’t even know existed! Highlight was definitely the sweets at Panificio Volpe. Thank you Romena! "

My name is Carrie. Born and raised in Venice, I am proud to be half Venetian and half American, thanks to my mother's heritage.
My favorite local food is baccala' mantecato, creamed cod fish.
Venice is more than a destination; it's an unforgettable experience! The city's rich culture, deep history, and exquisite cuisine make it truly one of a kind. As a true Venetian, my heart belongs to its hidden gems, the vibrant atmosphere that ignites as the sun sets and paints the lagoon, and the countless untold tales waiting to be discovered around every corner.
