Guidekin's take

A private walk shaped by the preferences you send at booking, from the Rialto fish market to the quieter Cannaregio, with a glass of wine and a snack at a bacaro.

The host tells stories rather than art history, St Mark's Square and its monuments are off the route, and two people are the minimum booking. 4.54 from 134 reviews at €150 per person.

In our comparison: #16 of 17 in Food & Cicchetti Tours, by rating weighted by review volume (see the comparison).
