Sample a classic Aperol spritz or the genuine other venetian variations with the Venetian small bites known as ‘cicchetti’ while chatting with a foodie guide.

Great Tour, also in perfect german language. Funny, interesting and with many little stories about Venice and its history. We also found a lot of hidden places offside San Marco & the tourists.
