Context Travel's Hidden Venice food tour is led by historian-led guides through bacari and cicchetti spots, with a strong focus on Venetian food-history.
TipSmall-group format (max 10). Tour run by academic-trained guides; better for the food-history interested than for crawl-style drinkers. Starts in Dorsoduro.
Monica Cesarato's tour is run by the Venetian cookery teacher and food writer, the canonical local-guide cicchetti crawl with a deep dive into bacaro.
TipBook direct via Monica's site. Private and small-group options; ask for the Dorsoduro-leaning route, less touristed than San Polo.
