Skip-the-line Hard Rock Cafe Venice set lunch/dinner near Piazza San Marco, with rock memorabilia, canal views, and 2- or 3 courses.
“The food was really good, the service was not so good. Once the wait staff realized we were the prepaid group menu they seemed to have very little interest in us.”
Enjoy a Venice cabaret dinner show with a welcome drink, 5-course gala meal, and the international Cabaret Grand Show in a Baroque theater.
“Excellent show with fantastic singers, dancers and piano player. Good value for money. Really recommend going. Cons Out of way so expensive taxi journey and the first hour/hour & half is drawn out (couple drinks and takes ages to get food) felt a bit amateurish but the show itself is worth every minute! Just don’t rush to be there for 8pm”
Venice evening cicchetti crawl with spritz, wine tastings, a sit-down Venetian meal, and gelato, ending near Rialto in a small group.
“Giovanni was out guide and is a chatty fellow who gave us a lot of information about Venice as well as the background of the foods we had during the tour. Some of the food we had was not appetizing to some of the group as they were averse to seafoodif which some was a bit strongly fishy. Drinks were served at each stop and the choices were wine, prosecco, spritz, or soft drinks. The amount of food and drink was plenty and a little too much for some. Overall, it was enjoyable walking around the city, sampling foods, and meeting other travelers.”
Venice’s Laguna Libre pairs an eco dinner or aperitif with live jazz by the Cannaregio Canal in an 18th-century palace.
“le groupe de Jazz était super ils ont animé la soirée avec une prestation musicale de qualité.”
Venice Cannaregio food tour with 8 cicchetti tastings, 3 wines and a spritz, plus sit-down dinner and gelato on foot.
“Some of the food options were limited. Chicceti were fish heavy. The food at the Main meal: lasagna was beautiful. Squid in pasta was an acquired taste. Would have been great to have a pizza option too. Our guide was lovely and super helpful. Approachable and was happy to give hints and tips of other places to go within our stay. Even showed us some food locations to visit on the following day.”
