A very disappointing series of events
• A one star rating because of a series of unfortunate events. We were to meet our tour guide near the train station in Venice as per our Viator instructions. We were 30 minutes early and used Google Maps to locate the meeting place. After walking the entire area, inside and out we were still unable to connect with our guide. We tried to contact our guide through Viator but were still unable to connect. Finally after waiting 45 minutes beyond our start time we left and headed towards St. Marks square on our own. The most disappointing part of this tour was that by the time we reached St. Marks Square, we were unable to visit St. Mark’s Basilica in the time available even though we had prepaid for tickets. In an attempt to resolve this issue with our tour operators we contacted Viator for a refund but we were denied. Our tour guide indicated to Viator the she was at the meeting point and waited for 40 minutes before leaving. So not only did we lose out on our tour of Venice we also lost the money for tickets to St Mark’s Basilica which went unused. Lessons learned: Do not rely on coordinates to meet your guide. (It’s better to meet at a specific monument.) Always contact the tour company in advance for an exact location where you will meet. Always have your tour guides phone number so that you can make contact, if needed, before your tour starts. Do not rely on a refund just because you cannot make contact with your tour guide.

Great way to see Venice
We were staying in Verona and booked the train to visit Venice on 7th June. Booked the 3 hour walking tour on line before we left the UK. We met our guide, Erica, at the main entrance to the Train station and started our walk from there. We learned a lot throughout our walk and it was a great way to see Venice without getting lost. We thoroughly enjoyed our time with Erica who took us to see all the famous sights during our walking tour as well as arranging for us to see the fantastic view from the rooftop of a shopping mall. Erica was very friendly, extremely knowledgeable and very nice to be with throughout. Would definitely recommend this tour to anyone visiting Venice.
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for sharing you experience! It is a pleasure for us to know that you really enjoyed the tour with Erica, she is a very nice guide!

Why this scores 54
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
3 Hours Venice walking tour: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Venice.
How much does 3 Hours Venice walking tour cost?
+
Prices start at $45 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Venice usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does 3 Hours Venice walking tour take?
+
Plan for about 3 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Venice is not rushed.
Is 3 Hours Venice walking tour worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 54 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (3.7/5 across 3 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Venice, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule 3 Hours Venice walking tour?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is 3 Hours Venice walking tour suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 3-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book 3 Hours Venice walking tour?
+
Around 1 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Venice can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Venice and add a light layer if any part of the 3-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does 3 Hours Venice walking tour start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Venice within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Venice?
+
On Outty we rank every Venice experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Pasta and Tiramisu Cooking Class with Wine in Venice, Eating Venice Small Group Food & Drinks Tour, Venice Bacaro Food Tour: Eat and Drink like a Venetian. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Venice?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Venice?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
