Rialto Fish Market: Where It All Begins
We’ll meet at the historic Rialto Fish Market, one of Venice’s most authentic spots. Wander among stalls piled high with fresh seafood on crushed ice, listen to fishmongers calling out their daily catch, and choose the best fish to cook later.
Gondola Ferry Across the Grand Canal
Next, cross the Grand Canal just like local Venetians do—aboard a traditional gondola ferry. It’s a quick but unforgettable way to experience Venice from the water.
Hidden Streets Walk to Murano
Stroll through the quiet “calles” and fondamente of Cannaregio—one of the city’s largest, most residential districts—away from the tourist crowds. From Fondamente Nove, catch a vaporetto to Murano.
Home Cooking Class in Murano
Arrive at a private Venetian home overlooking a peaceful canal, where you’ll prepare a full seafood lunch together:
- Starter: Organic sun-dried tomatoes & Italian vegetable antipasti, paired with a classic Spritz
- First Course: Spaghetti alla Busara (spaghetti with stewed crayfish and tomato)
- Second Course: Oven-baked sea bass with potatoes and aromatic herbs
- Finish: Italian moka-brewed coffee and local liqueurs
Optional: Continue Exploring Murano & Burano
After lunch, feel free to explore Murano at your own pace—or hop back on the vaporetto to visit colorful Burano. You’ll receive tips for self-guided exploration, or arrange a private guided extension.
