Venice Revealed
This was an amazing personalised tour that gave a real insight into Venice and its history. Our guide Selena was very friendly and knowledgeable. The Murano Glass factory was interesting with a chance to buy something that you know has been made in Venice.

The best Venice Glass Factory tour!
This was probably the best tour we did in Venice. Very relaxed visit to the famous Murano island and a very nice lunch. We got up close and personal with the glass blowers and saw some exquisite pieces.

Customized Venice your way
Selina was absolutely fantastic! We had a relaxed, curated experience walking through both the well traveled and quieter streets of all the barrios. Really enjoyed learning about how life evolved on the island, it’s history and treasured architectural jewels. Great experience at Murano and wonderful lunch. All in all worth it, to do Venice your way in a limited amount of time.

Private Venice walking tour plus Murano island lunch and glass factory visit: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Venice.
How much does Private Venice walking tour plus Murano island lunch and glass factory visit cost?
+
Prices start at $183 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 Venice walking tour plus Murano island lunch and glass factory visit take?
+
Plan for about 7 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 Venice walking tour plus Murano island lunch and glass factory visit worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 66 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.8/5 across 14 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 Venice walking tour plus Murano island lunch and glass factory visit?
+
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 Venice walking tour plus Murano island lunch and glass factory visit suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 7-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Private Venice walking tour plus Murano island lunch and glass factory visit?
+
Around 5 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 7-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Private Venice walking tour plus Murano island lunch and glass factory visit 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.
