City tour guided by Giovanni
Very nice experience of guided tour of the city especially in the neighborhoods inhabited by Venetians. We discover another Venice. I highly recommend a guided tour by Giovanni.

Beautiful Duo
Giovanni was a super guide with an exceptional day in temperature in addition to the two beautiful islands of Burano and Muranos and their unique colors and typical setting.
Response from the operator: Merci pour votre commentaire, j’adore partager mon amour et mes connaissances et aujourd’hui c’était vraiment une belle journée

Travel Specialist Fernando
Beautiful locațion vizited you beautiful place The city is full of excellent cafés and gelaterias, perfect for relaxing after a day of sightseeing. Venice is romantic, historic, and full of surprises — it’s a place I would recommend to anyone looking for an unforgettable travel experience.
Response from the operator: Thank you so much Fernando, it was a pleasure knowing you and do the tour. I hope to seeing you again

Beautiful experience
Giovanni is an exceptional companion: nice, affable and attentive, he had an eye especially towards my daughters. He had no problem changing route and showed us an unexpected Venice, although he has been frequenting this city for some time. He avoided the classic tourist spots, revealing instead a passion and an in-depth knowledge (at least for me!) about the lagoon. I highly recommend it especially for those traveling with children and expecting something unusual
Response from the operator: Gentile Lucia, innanzitutto ti ringrazio per la tua recensione, ma ancor di più sono veramente felice di aver fatto la conoscenza tua e delle tue starordinarie bambine,. Per me è un piacere stimolare la curiosità nei bambini e non c'è piacere più grande di vedere lo stupore nei loro occhi per le scoperte storiche, ovviamente mi piace stimolare la curiostità negli adulti come hai visto. Comunque, cara Lucia, se hai bisogno di qualcosa, non esitare a contattarmi. Fosse anche per un corso di disotruzione pediatrica, essendone istruttore per me sarebbe un onore insegnarti questa semplici ed importantissime pratiche

Why this scores 61
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Discover hidden Venice with a real Venetian: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Venice.
How much does Discover hidden Venice with a real Venetian cost?
+
Prices start at $25 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 Discover hidden Venice with a real Venetian take?
+
Plan for about 2.5 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 Discover hidden Venice with a real Venetian worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 61 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 4 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 Discover hidden Venice with a real Venetian?
+
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 Discover hidden Venice with a real Venetian suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 2.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Discover hidden Venice with a real Venetian?
+
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 2.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Discover hidden Venice with a real Venetian 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.
