Full description

Go on a fun, Venetian style pub crawl of Venice, and discover traditional bars frequented by locals. Meet like minded travelers on a sociable tour that aims to show you how Venetians enjoy life. Meet in front of the Ca Rezzonico Museum at 5:00 PM, where you will be met by your guide. Then, meander through a labyrinth of small alleyways and

campi

(city squares) to visit 3 local bars known as

”bacari”

in the Venetian dialect. Upon arrival at each bar, you will be offered an

ombra

(a glass of local wine). At the final bar you will have the chance to try the very popular Venetian, orange-colored cocktail known as “spritz,” usually served with an olive or two. You will also taste the typical venetian cicchetti (tapas) in each bacaro. Experience a great way of seeing the city as the locals see it, and chat to new friends. Great for singles, couples, or small groups, you never know who you might meet and who is behind the mask…

We have used Get Your Guide in many countries and their guides are always first rate. Sergio was fabulous with much enthusiasm and information. However, the bacari (bars) that they chose were very low end and ordinary with terrible beverages and the cicchetti were inedible. This would be a great tour with a better selection of locations.
