We can accommodate most dietary needs, including vegetarian, vegan, lactose free and common food allergies. Our guides and partner bars do their best to provide alternatives based on what produce is available each day. We cannot accommodate celiac guests, as the bars cannot guarantee the absence of cross contamination. For guests with nut and dairy allergies, our team will check with each bar on the day to ensure safe options where possible. Please leave a note when booking or email us at least 24 hours before the tour.

Venice is made up of many cobblestone streets, bridges and steps. Despite the short distance covered on this tour, the route may not be suitable for travellers with limited mobility.

As this tour involves sampling wine, the minimum age is 18 years, in accordance with Italian law.

In bad weather, we won’t be able to cross the canal in the traghetto gondola due to safety reasons. In this case, we will provide an additional tasting.

No, the tour features a short, three-minute Grand Canal crossing aboard a traditional traghetto. It's an authentic Venetian transport experience rather than a sightseeing ride.
