Eating great food is a highlight of visiting Italy, but, in Venice, many visitors fall for subpar tourist traps. Avoid that risk by joining this small-group secret food walking tour.

The Venice Biennale is not a museum with labels and explanations. It is 100 national pavilions, hundreds of artists, and two massive venues spread across the city - with no obvious starting point and no clear narrative. Most visitors spend hours wandering, miss the works that matter most, and leave more confused than inspired. This tour exists to change that. Your private licensed guide has followed the Biennale for years, knows the Giardini and Arsenale inside out, and will build your visit around what genuinely deserves your attention in 2026. No filler, no rushing past masterpieces, no generic commentary. Just the right works, the right context, and the story behind one of the most emotionally charged editions in the Biennale's history. Two to three hours that will make the rest of your visit - and every Biennale you attend after this - completely different.

Best of all, food and drink tastings are included to ensure a hassle-free evening.
