Tour guide never showed up!!!
Our guide never showed up! We waited and waited with two very excited children to do a fun family tour, and she never showed up, answered her cell, or answered a text! Waste of time. We did get a refund from Viator (how we booked it), but our whole day was planned around this and we were very disappointed.
Response from the operator: Hi there, We are deeply sorry for the frustration and disappointment caused by your guide not showing up, especially with your children looking forward to the experience. This is far from the level of service we aim to provide, and we regret the inconvenience and disruption to your day. We will investigate what happened to ensure this does not occur again and take steps to prevent such situations in the future. Kind regards, Withlocals Team

Great Tour with Kids to Really Understand Venice
We travelled as a family of six with our two kids (aged 7 and 4) and grandparents, and this tour with Marco was one of the highlights of our trip to Venice. From the moment we met, it was clear that Marco was extremely passionate about the history and stories behind the beautiful city of Venice, and the way he explained things as we walked completely captivated our children (who were otherwise not looking forward to a two hour walking tour up and down the many bridges of Venice). Marco kept all of us engaged and entertained with his sense of humour, and answered nearly all of our questions with ease. (You can tell you have a good guide when he is excited by questions!) The small tablet he had on hand to show pictures of Venice in the past was also very exciting for the children. As we walked by several giant tour groups using headsets, we were convinced that we made the right choice as this tour gave us a personalised experience where the kids were able to interact with the guide seamlessly. The tour went by so quickly, and Marco set us up with some good recommendations for lunch nearby. Would highly recommend this for anyone travelling with kids and wants a small cozy tour to really understand Venice!

Why this scores 74
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Family Friendly Venice Private City Tour: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Venice.
How much does Family Friendly Venice Private City Tour cost?
+
Prices start at $51 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 Family Friendly Venice Private City 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 Family Friendly Venice Private City Tour worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 74 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.8/5 across 50 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 Family Friendly Venice Private City 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 Family Friendly Venice Private City 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 Family Friendly Venice Private City Tour?
+
Around 18 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 Family Friendly Venice Private City 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.
