Venice: Venetian Lagoon Tour and Galleon Dinner

1.Venetian Lagoon Tour and Galleon Dinner

★★★★★★★★★★4.8 · 1,758 reviews · from $124Our pick

Sail Venice’s lagoon by candlelight aboard a Venetian galleon, with a multi-course dinner, wine, Prosecco, and views of Burano and San Marco.

“We have attended for the dinner however the weather was so foggy which unfortunately meant we couldn’t sale away. As the boat was stationary I could feel a lot of the water movement which sadly lead to terrible motion sickness, and I couldn’t truly enjoy my food due to no one’s fault. However I would like to say a special Thankyou to the team who went over and beyond to make sure I was okay. So Thankyou so much. I would still recommend this as it’s definitely an experience not to be missed.”

5.Cabaret Dinner Show

★★★★★★★★★★4.3 · 134 reviews · from $130

Review of Venice’s Cabaret Dinner Show, with a five-course meal, wine, live international acts, Baroque decor, and practical booking tips.

“You are offered a welcome drink when you come in of Prosecco which was very nice. Then you also get a bottle of your choice at your table. Food was very subpar. Pork was not cooked and cooked vegetables were not very good. However, the performances were GREAT! Loved them all so much and really enjoyed it. If you do this activity do it for the shows not for the food.”

Also nice was making the first course together after having an appetizer and a drink. We would definitely do it again and recommend it to anyone.”

11.Venice Food Tasting Tour: Bites, Wine, Dinner & Local Guide

★★★★★★★★★★4.6 · 40 reviews · from $92

Taste Venetian cicchetti, wine, Spritz, dinner, and gelato while exploring Cannaregio with a small-group local guide.

“We loved being able to try so many foods, especially dishes we wouldn't have chosen on our own (fried cheese and anchovy, squid-ink pasta, Select spritz). Juice or soda was given to our kids and they discovered they love anchovies! Our guide was extremely knowledgeable of the city and the food. It is a LOT of walking, and in the heat & humidity (which we aren't accustomed to) it was quite draining. But if you go into it knowing you'll be walking a lot, it's not so bad. And getting to see so much of the city and learn some history definitely helps distract from the heat. Overall, it was…”
