Needs Substance!
Our tour guide provided good information about the sights, sharing personal stories like where she grew up, her school, her best friend’s home, and other local details. However, it wasn’t quite what we expected—for the amount of money paid, the tour didn’t deliver the depth we hoped for. Advertised as about 3 hours, we finished in just 2, and it needed a bit more to feel complete.

Venice private walking tour
Our guide Grazilla was wonderful. She provided us with lots of information in a delightful way. She tailored our walking tour to include places we asked about and showed us some of her favorites. Couldn't have asked for a better guide in Venice. Thank you!

Anazing!

Great guide
Sarah was a great guide, she walked us through areas of the city we would not have found on our own including the ghettos and a local bead makers shop. She gave a great recommendation for dinner, and got some nice pictures for us. Thank you!

Private Hidden Venice Walking Tour with Bacaro Wine and Cicchetti: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Venice.
How much does Private Hidden Venice Walking Tour with Bacaro Wine and Cicchetti cost?
+
Prices start at $172 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 Hidden Venice Walking Tour with Bacaro Wine and Cicchetti take?
+
Plan for about 3 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 Hidden Venice Walking Tour with Bacaro Wine and Cicchetti worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 61 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.5/5 across 134 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable food & drink in Venice, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Private Hidden Venice Walking Tour with Bacaro Wine and Cicchetti?
+
No. This experience is sold on a non-refundable basis, so only book a date you are confident about. Similar experiences in the city do offer free cancellation if flexibility matters more than price.
Is Private Hidden Venice Walking Tour with Bacaro Wine and Cicchetti suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 3-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Private Hidden Venice Walking Tour with Bacaro Wine and Cicchetti?
+
Around 47 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 3-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Private Hidden Venice Walking Tour with Bacaro Wine and Cicchetti 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 Hidden Venice Walking Tour with Bacaro Wine and Cicchetti?
+
Included: Professional guide; Private Walking Tour (3 hours); Private tour and commentary; and Appetizer and one glass of wine at a Venetian bacaro. Not included: Gratuities; and Hotel pickup and drop-off. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Where is the meeting point for Private Hidden Venice Walking Tour with Bacaro Wine and Cicchetti?
+
Meeting Point: in front of Bucintoro Viaggi travel agency, in Campo San Luca, 4267/C Hotel pickup is not included, so plan your own transport and arrive 15 minutes early.
What languages is Private Hidden Venice Walking Tour with Bacaro Wine and Cicchetti offered in?
+
