Walking Tour in Venice

Venice's food section starts with the bacari — small wine bars serving cicchetti, local one-bite snacks. A ninety-minute round of bacari with food and wine costs 71 dollars. Cheaper still is a private tasting of Venetian wines lasting forty minutes at 46 dollars, the shortest entry in the section. Bacari work standing and without booking, so the route is built by quarter rather than by address.

Street food combined with sightseeing takes two and a half hours at 52 dollars. Drinks cost more: a private craft-brewery tour is two hours at 246 dollars, and a wine tasting with dinner two hours at 253. The difference between them is the selection, not the format.

The cooking line runs longer and takes half a day. Buying fish at the Rialto market and then cooking it on Murano takes four hours at 132 dollars; a lesson with locals without going out to the islands is the same four hours at 223. Standing apart is a bike tour with a honey tasting on the island of Sant'Erasmo: four hours at 160 dollars, where the vegetables for Venice's markets are also grown.
