Our guide was great and...
Our guide was great and we learned a lot of history of the area and foods. However, some of the stops were touristy and not as authentic as we would have liked. Of particular note was the gelato stand that tasted more like ice cream than gelato.

Great tour
We had a great time. Lots of valuable information. Vanessa was our guide. We highly recommend! Love from Canada.

Elizabeth is an excellent guide - and the food was good too!
Elizabeth was knowledgeable, entertaining and helpful. She gave excellent historic context to the city, the culture and the food and beverages we sampled. The samples were generous and well chosen to give a good variety of flavors and textures. The pace of the tour was good for both this grandmother and the children with other families. We highly recommend this tour and guide for a truly fun taste of Venice.

A great way to get to know Venice and its food.
This is a fabulous introduction to the street food of Venice and the culture behind it. We were treated to various cicchetti, fried mozzarella sandwiches, risotto, polenta ….. and much more. Our guide Vanessa was fun, interesting about the city and its inhabitants and led us through the maze of streets to great places to enjoy the food. Would thoroughly recommend this tour.

Guided Venice Street Food Tour and City Sightseeing: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Venice.
How much does Guided Venice Street Food Tour and City Sightseeing cost?
+
Prices start at $56 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 Guided Venice Street Food Tour and City Sightseeing 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 Guided Venice Street Food Tour and City Sightseeing worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 65 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.5/5 across 24 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 Guided Venice Street Food Tour and City Sightseeing?
+
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 Guided Venice Street Food Tour and City Sightseeing 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 Guided Venice Street Food Tour and City Sightseeing?
+
Around 8 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 Guided Venice Street Food Tour and City Sightseeing 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 Venice Pasta & Tiramisu Cooking Class with wine by Cooking Italy, Eating Venice Small Group Food & Drinks Tour, Tour of The Real Hidden Venice. 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.
What is included in Guided Venice Street Food Tour and City Sightseeing?
+
Included: Samples of different local specialties; Local expert guide; and Venice Street Food Tour. Not included: Drinks; Gratuities; and Hotel pick-up and drop off. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

+

What languages is Guided Venice Street Food Tour and City Sightseeing offered in?
+
