Guidekin's take

Nine tastings across four Cannaregio stops that end in a sit down dinner on a square, with spritz, wine and cocktails along the way and gelato to finish.

It is built for adults, allergies must be flagged ahead, and venues change with the season. 4.68 from 170 reviews at €54 per person.

In our comparison: #15 of 17 in Food & Cicchetti Tours, by rating weighted by review volume (see the comparison).
