    Hidden Gems

    Our Guide Tonne showed us around the city with several stops along the way tasting different foods and sampling many wines. This tour was great! I would highly recommend doing this tour at the beginning of your trip so you'll have time to revisit some of the stops later during your stay.

    Our tour guide was was fantastic. It was a little tricky finding the meeting point, but we did. It was very informative. We ate lots of food for what we paid. It was well worth it. He even escorted us back along the river on the boat to get back to our ship definitely would recommend.

    Rialto Market Food Tour: Wine Tasting & Sightseeing in Venice: questions travelers ask

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

    How much does Rialto Market Food Tour: Wine Tasting & Sightseeing in Venice cost?

    +

    Prices start at $108 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 Rialto Market Food Tour: Wine Tasting & Sightseeing in Venice take?

    +

    Plan for about 4 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 Rialto Market Food Tour: Wine Tasting & Sightseeing in Venice worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 72 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 20 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 Rialto Market Food Tour: Wine Tasting & Sightseeing in Venice?

    +

    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 Rialto Market Food Tour: Wine Tasting & Sightseeing in Venice suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 4-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Rialto Market Food Tour: Wine Tasting & Sightseeing in Venice?

    +

    Around 7 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 4-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Rialto Market Food Tour: Wine Tasting & Sightseeing in Venice 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 Rialto Market Food Tour: Wine Tasting & Sightseeing in Venice?

    +

    Included: Alcoholic beverages; Lunch; Food and Drinks; 4-Hour Walking Food Tour; and Local and expert guide. Not included: Gratuities; Hotel pickup and drop-off; and Transportation to/from attractions. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    Where is the meeting point for Rialto Market Food Tour: Wine Tasting & Sightseeing in Venice?

    +

    Meet your guide outside the Church of San Giacomo di Rialto. Please note that it's not San Giacomo dall'Orio, that's a different place. Hotel pickup is not included, so plan your own transport and arrive 15 minutes early.

    What languages is Rialto Market Food Tour: Wine Tasting & Sightseeing in Venice offered in?

    +

    Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Rialto Market Food Tour: Wine Tasting & Sightseeing in Venice?

    +

    What happens to Rialto Market Food Tour: Wine Tasting & Sightseeing in Venice if the weather is bad?
