    Happy hour-style fun and educational too

    We were fortunate to also have Mihaela as a tour guide for this tour. She was outstanding- highly knowledgeable about the cuisine of Venice and general background, and presented a fun and entertaining “happy hour” style tour that we throughly enjoyed. Buccala and Spritz Select were new treats for me!

    Beautiful culinary hours

    Again, Lorenzo guided us in a very personal way through the culinary tradition and fashion of Venice. This time we went through several little Bacari to enjoy Cecchetti and wine.

    Great way to experience cichetti culture in Venice

    If you want to try authentic cichetti in Venice but don’t know where to start, this is the tour for you. Giovanni took us to three local spots, none of which felt touristy. All the cichetti and wines were delicious, and all three spots showcased different styles and specialities. Giovanni was extremely friendly and we enjoyed talking with him about Venice’s culinary culture as we slowly made our way from stop to stop. All cichetti and wine is included in the cost of the tour; Giovanni gave us recommendations but left the decision of what to order up to us.

    Wonderful tour for us!

    Nicola was outstanding in showing us around, especially since this was our 4th excursion and second food tour in Venice. What a personable young man and fun guide! He changed a couple of venues for us due to our food preferences. This was our favorite tour!

    Response from the operator: Hi Laurie_K, I'm very happy to read you loved Venice and its food from this new and local perspective. Thank you again! Arrivederci,

    Private Food Tour: Cicheti & Wine: questions travelers ask

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

    How much does Private Food Tour: Cicheti & Wine cost?

    +

    Prices start at €89 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 Private Food Tour: Cicheti & Wine 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 Private Food Tour: Cicheti & Wine worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 59 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.6/5 across 8 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 Private Food Tour: Cicheti & Wine?

    +

    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 Private Food Tour: Cicheti & Wine 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 Private Food Tour: Cicheti & Wine?

    +

    Around 3 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 Private Food Tour: Cicheti & Wine 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 Private Food Tour: Cicheti & Wine?

    +

    Included: Snacks. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    Does Private Food Tour: Cicheti & Wine include hotel pickup?

    +

    Yes, pickup is offered for every traveler from 339 listed pickup locations in and around Venice. Be ready about 5 minutes before the start time. You can also enter a custom pickup address when booking.

    What languages is Private Food Tour: Cicheti & Wine offered in?

    +

    It is offered in English, Italian, French and Spanish. 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 Private Food Tour: Cicheti & Wine?

    +

    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 Private Food Tour: Cicheti & Wine wheelchair or stroller accessible?

    +

    The operator notes: Infants and small children can ride in a pram or stroller; and 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 Private Food Tour: Cicheti & Wine if the weather is bad?

    +

    This experience depends on good weather. If it is canceled because of poor weather, you are offered a different date or a full refund.

    What do travelers say about Private Food Tour: Cicheti & Wine?
