Absolutely amazing
Our tour was absolutely fantastic from start to finish. Lucia was knowledgeable, engaging, and made every stop feel special with interesting stories and insights. Everything was well-organized, easy to follow, and stress-free. It truly made the experience memorable, and I’d highly recommend it to anyone looking for a fun and enriching tour.

Super experience
We booked a private tour with Lucia for two different experiences, (i) treasury hunt with our daughter (9 years old) and (ii) a deeper tour of the Jewish Gheto for a separate part of the family. Lucia was fantastic for both tours. She was able to keep the interest level of our daughter very high for the whole first tour. She was at the same time very knowledgeable and really excelled in the deeper historical ghetto tour. Both experiences were fantastic. We would strongly recommend Lucia

Lucia is the best private tour guide we have ever had!
Lucia toured us privately in Venice for the full day and was absolutely fantastic. We spent most of the day in the Jewish Ghetto, as we toured two synagogues and heard about the area’s rich history. We enjoyed a fabulous lunch at one of the two kosher restaurants. Lucia’s knowledge of history and Jewish culture is phenomenal, making this day so very special for my wife and I. She was professional, courteous, funny and so pleasant to be with!

Personalized tour of Venice
Lucia was incredible! I highly recommend her for your tours. We were only in Venice for a day and a half and she put a plan together for us that was perfect. She coordinated 3 separate tours for us. We saw the Murano Glass factory when we first arrived and Lucia had the guide meet us at our hotel. Great tour. She coordinated a tour of the Jewish Ghetto that was terrific. After arranging lunch for us, Lucia met us in the afternoon and led my group on a wonderful tour of Venice, including the Doge. She is extremely personable and knowledgeable. There were 6 of us on our trip. My husband had to find a piece of medical equipment that needed to be replaced for our trip and it was very difficult to locate. Lucia went above and beyond to speak with a company that carried the piece we needed and was patient in explaining to us how to get there. She made everything so easy for us. I can’t thank Lucia enough for all of her help. I highly recommed Lucia for any tour!

Why this scores 57
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Best of Venice: Private 100% Tailored Full-day Tour: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Venice.
How much does Best of Venice: Private 100% Tailored Full-day Tour cost?
+
Prices start at $990 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 Best of Venice: Private 100% Tailored Full-day Tour take?
+
Plan for about 6 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 Best of Venice: Private 100% Tailored Full-day Tour worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 57 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 13 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 Best of Venice: Private 100% Tailored Full-day 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 Best of Venice: Private 100% Tailored Full-day Tour suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 6-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Best of Venice: Private 100% Tailored Full-day Tour?
+
Around 5 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 6-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Best of Venice: Private 100% Tailored Full-day 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.
