Experience Venice in two hours: this small-group walking tour covers the city's greatest hits, from its best bites to its most iconic sights.

    What you'll see and do

    1. Meet your guide outside San Giacomo di Rialto, one of Venice's oldest churches and a fitting starting point for a tour built around the market next door. Take a look at its clock tower before the journey begins.

      Pass by without stopping

    2. Your first stop will be a family-run bacaro for a tramezzino cut to order and a spritz poured your way, a routine locals here have followed for generations.

      15 minutes here

    3. Browse the stalls of a market that has kept Venetian kitchens stocked for generations, fish laid out on ice, vegetables piled high, vendors calling out the day's prices. Note: Rialto Market closes at 1pm. However, evening tours still walk through the market and see where the stalls set up each morning.

      15 minutes here

    4. Ponte di Rialto

      Cross the Rialto Bridge and pause for one of the best views: the Grand Canal stretching out below, gondolas cutting through the water, palazzos lining both banks.

      Pass by without stopping

    5. Watch a Venetian classic, fried mozzarella, right out of the fryer in an historical eatery. Experience the delicious goodness with record-breaking cheese-pulls!

      15 minutes here

    6. Taste the risotto locals queue for, plus a glass of house wine, made fresh only once your group arrives.

      15 minutes here

    7. The walk ends with gelato in a quiet campo a short distance from Rialto, away from the busier streets. It's the final stop before your guide says goodbye.

      15 minutes here

    True local experience

    The real locals experience. From our wonderful guide Ana to the food to the stops, everything was authentic and tasty. This was my first food tour and now I can see why everyone does them. Such a great way to explore the world around you.

    NEW Venice Greatest Hits: Small Group Food Tour: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Venice.

    How much does NEW Venice Greatest Hits: Small Group Food Tour cost?

    +

    Prices start at €74 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 NEW Venice Greatest Hits: Small Group Food 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 NEW Venice Greatest Hits: Small Group Food Tour worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 60 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 NEW Venice Greatest Hits: Small Group Food 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 NEW Venice Greatest Hits: Small Group Food 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 NEW Venice Greatest Hits: Small Group Food Tour?

    +

    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-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does NEW Venice Greatest Hits: Small Group Food 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 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 NEW Venice Greatest Hits: Small Group Food Tour?

    +

    Included: Local English-speaking guide; One stop built around a classic Venetian fried snack; Two-hour small-group walking tour through Rialto, covering Venice's greatest hits; 6 stops featuring various Venetian classics and 2 drink tastings, including local wine; and 'Food & the City' Insider Tips. Not included: Hotel pick-up and drop-off; and Extra drinks. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    Where is the meeting point for NEW Venice Greatest Hits: Small Group Food Tour?

    +

    Your guide will be waiting for you in front of the San Giacomo di Rialto church, and wearing our purple Eating Europe bag! Hotel pickup is not included, so plan your own transport and arrive 15 minutes early.

    What languages is NEW Venice Greatest Hits: Small Group Food Tour offered in?

    +

    It runs in English. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.

    Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for NEW Venice Greatest Hits: Small Group Food Tour?

    +

    Confirmation is sent by the operator after booking, usually within 48 hours; if it is not confirmed you are not charged. Mobile tickets are accepted, so you can show the voucher on your phone.

    Is NEW Venice Greatest Hits: Small Group Food Tour wheelchair or stroller accessible?

    +

    The operator notes: Infants are required to sit on an adult’s lap. If accessibility is critical, contact the operator after booking to confirm arrangements for your date.

    What happens to NEW Venice Greatest Hits: Small Group Food Tour if the weather is bad?
