Description
The Venice bacari tour is a relaxing 3-hour walk through the alleys and fields of the Santa Croce and Dorsoduro districts, areas normally unknown to tourists. Streaty offers you the opportunity to follow the same food and drink path beaten by the most authentic Venetians after working hours. Tastings and drinks are offered at the typical bacari (taverns), selected ad hoc based on the quality and creativity of the cicchetti, but also on the authenticity of the place.
