It Was a Great Walking Tour Full of Hidden Treasures
After a wonderful day in Venice, we had the opportunity to discover the hidden treasures of the city with the San Polo, Rialto, Frari 2-Hour Private Walking Tour. The guide of our tour was an expert who offered us unique insights not only into history and art, but also into the mysterious fabric and daily life of Venice.
Response from the operator: Thank you for your review, we really appreciated. Hope to have you again in Venice

This tour was excellent. Marco was...
<p>This tour was excellent. Marco was extremely knowledgable about the entire area. He had great tidbits of history, art, culture, architecture, you name it. He was flexible as well as we had taken another tour that covered some of what he had planned on covering but he went with it and added some sights that wren't normally on this tour. We were completely satisfied.</p>

The immediate insight and the introduction to this area which is so full of character with its winding back streets, campos and canals to it's grand palaces along the Grand Canal was fascinating and entertaining. The personal insight from our excellent guide made this a memorable experience.</p>

Why this scores 50
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Discover San Polo, Rialto & Frari: Exclusive Private Walking Tour: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Venice.
How much does Discover San Polo, Rialto & Frari: Exclusive Private Walking Tour cost?
+
Prices start at $285 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 San Polo, Rialto & Frari: Exclusive Private Walking Tour take?
+
Plan for about 2 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 San Polo, Rialto & Frari: Exclusive Private Walking Tour worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 50 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 6 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 San Polo, Rialto & Frari: Exclusive Private 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 Discover San Polo, Rialto & Frari: Exclusive Private Walking Tour suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 2-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Discover San Polo, Rialto & Frari: Exclusive Private Walking Tour?
+
Around 2 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-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Discover San Polo, Rialto & Frari: Exclusive Private 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.
