    Fun Intro to Street Food

    Elizabeth was a wonderful tour guide with a rather large group to shepherd all over the north of the Rialto. We stopped at four or five spots with everything from pastry to cichetti to gelato, navigating narrow lanes and large crowds on a Saturday. It’s a good introduction to Venice street food and having a fun group made it even better. Remember drinks are not included so BYOB.

    Sub standard food

    The food at all 5 stops was seriously terrible, we were expecting beautiful tasty Venetian dishes and instead ended up with the below Stop 1. Small piece of sandwich with ham and cheese, small bit of sandwich with mortadella and cheese (was ok) Stop 2. Small bowl of undercooked pumpkin risotto, tasteless and chewy rice Stop3. Small bites of different meats etc on totally stale bread Stop 4. 4 different options, cold slimy sardines, chewy squid, some vegetable option and meatballs which were only just ok Stop 5. Gelato - it was ok The tour guide was lovely and this is not his fault however I soon came to understand why he does not eat any of the offerings himself! He really should be telling the tour operators that the food is not ok as he himself lives in Venice and knows better. All of the guests thought the same regarding the food but we had an enjoyable time getting to know each other

    Come in winter, far fewer people so you can actually converse with your host. Tony was a lovely host

    Do it!!

    Decided to take this tour on our first day in Venice to introduce ourselves to cicchetti and to get a guided tour of some of the city. Our tour guide, Emma, was fantastic and really made the experience something I'd recommend. She was very knowledgeable, friendly and enthusiastic and just made the whole event very enjoyable. We were able to try cicchetti and wine at 4 local venues and then ended the tour with gelato from one of the most highly-rated gelaterias in the city. We were with our 22-year-old son and he said it was his favorite part of visiting Venice. Also compared to some other similar tours, I thought it was very reasonably priced. Definitely recommend!

    Tasty Street Food Tour of Venice City Center with Cicchetti & Local Specialties: questions travelers ask

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

    How much does Tasty Street Food Tour of Venice City Center with Cicchetti & Local Specialties cost?

    +

    Prices start at $55 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 Tasty Street Food Tour of Venice City Center with Cicchetti & Local Specialties take?

    +

    Plan for about 2.5 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 Tasty Street Food Tour of Venice City Center with Cicchetti & Local Specialties worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 70 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.6/5 across 53 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 Tasty Street Food Tour of Venice City Center with Cicchetti & Local Specialties?

    +

    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 Tasty Street Food Tour of Venice City Center with Cicchetti & Local Specialties suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 2.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Tasty Street Food Tour of Venice City Center with Cicchetti & Local Specialties?

    +

    Around 19 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 2.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Tasty Street Food Tour of Venice City Center with Cicchetti & Local Specialties 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 Tasty Street Food Tour of Venice City Center with Cicchetti & Local Specialties?

    +

    Included: 2.5-hour street food tour; Snacks; Lunch; Food tastings; and Local and expert guide. Not included: Gratuities; Hotel pickup and drop-off; and Drinks. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    Where is the meeting point for Tasty Street Food Tour of Venice City Center with Cicchetti & Local Specialties?

    +

    Please meet your guide in Campo San Bartolomio by the statue. Hotel pickup is not included, so plan your own transport and arrive 15 minutes early.

    What languages is Tasty Street Food Tour of Venice City Center with Cicchetti & Local Specialties offered in?

    +

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

    Is Tasty Street Food Tour of Venice City Center with Cicchetti & Local Specialties 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.
