“We met our private guide Sebastian in a piazza near the rialto bridge and we started our walking and food tour with him. Within minutes, we felt as if we were hanging out with our close Italian friend and were one of the locals. Sebastian took us to bars and eateries away from the crowded tourist areas that are frequented by real Venetians and we enjoyed drinks (the Venetian Spritz of course) and Cicchetti (savory snacks and appetizers unique to Venice) and learned all about the food culture as well as the history of Venice, how it was established and fun facts about the specific area we were hanging out in. We went to 3 or 4 different areas of Venice- enjoying food, drinks, laughs and conversation in all of them. We would highly recommend this walking food tour with Sebastian if you want to gain insight and experience into what it feels like to be “a local”. Definitely one of the highlights of our time in beautiful Venice. Thanks Sebastian!” – Lori D.
