Itinerary
You will meet your guide in front of the Ex Cinema Teatro Italia in Cannaregio opened in 1916 as a grand theater and cinema, with striking Art Nouveau and Neo-Gothic details. Today, it’s been transformed into a supermarket while preserving frescoed ceilings and ornate décor—making it one of Venice’s most surprising hidden gems.
Venice Jewish Ghetto is a historic and culturally rich area in Cannaregio, established in 1516 as the world’s first ghetto. Today, it remains a vibrant neighborhood with centuries-old synagogues, Jewish museums, traditional bakeries, and artisan shops. Walking through its quiet courtyards and narrow streets offers a unique glimpse into Venetian history, heritage, and daily life.
Cannaregio is one of Venice’s most authentic and atmospheric districts, where local life blends with centuries of history. Famous for its charming canals, lively bacari (wine bars), and the historic Jewish Ghetto—the first of its kind in the world—Cannaregio offers a more relaxed vibe away from the busiest tourist routes. Stroll along quiet streets, discover artisan shops, and soak in the real Venetian atmosphere.

We had a wonderful experience on our food tour with Marina! We learned a lot about Venetian culture, as it relates to food, drinks, and other areas of life. The food and drink selections were interesting and delicious, and Marina was careful to consider our children's food allergies. Throughout the tour, it felt like we were getting a glimpse into how true Venetians live and eat! You can't get more authentic than that. Marina was smart, kind, and so much fun. This is one of the greatest highlights of our tour of Italy, even in the heat of June. Bravo!

What an amazing food and drink experience with Marina! From the moment we met Marina we felt welcome, like we were being given a tour by a close friend. Marina took us to local spots and explained what each spot was known for food wise. In addition to picking great food selections, she also peppered in the tour with additional information about the local area and traditions. Do not pass on this food tour. It was the highlight of our time in Venice.
