    Perfecto

    Wife and I had this private wine and ciccheti tour booked through our travel agent for our honeymoon. Tommaso did not disappoint. His English was very clear, his love and respect for the city was out of this world. He showed us all around, and took us to some of the top spots in the city. Would highly recommend him as a tour guide if possible

    Our first Italy experience.

    We had the absolute pleasure of having Nico as our tour guide, and he was fantastic. The stories and information he shared were incredibly insightful, detailed, and engaging. You could tell he genuinely loves what he does, and it made the entire experience that much better. This was our first day, and after a long day of travel we were completely exhausted, but Nico somehow kept us energized and enjoying every minute until we finally had to call it a night. Honestly, it was the perfect way to kick off our trip. If I had the opportunity to choose a guide for the rest of my travels, I would pick Nico every single time. Highly recommend.

    Cannaregio and other gems revealed

    This was my third visit to Venice, and I can’t believe how little I knew of or had seen of Cannaregio and surrounding neighborhoods. Some call it the “real” Venice because of its quiet lanes, canals and lack of touristy businesses. What we discovered was a quiet, beautiful area with a lot of history and charm. Our guide, Nico, was all you can ask for in a guide. Passionate about the area (he was born, raised and still lives in Cannaregio) and so well versed in the little gems found all around the area. We included the cicchetti option as part of our tour and it was a wonderful addition to the experience. So many places offer cicchetti and it is hard to know which places to pick. We made three stops along the way. All were great, and at each stop we were introduced to all of the various options to choose from. One other aspect worth mentioning about Nico. He is able to curate your tour to your interests and tastes. In listening to our questions, he would shift gears and tailor his tour to our interests but without compromising the overall scope of the tour. Yes, after reading my review, it is no secret I highly recommend this tour.

    Great way to get a short overview of Venice and its history.

    This was a private tour, just our group. Well worth the cost; Nico our guide was very knowledgeable and easy to talk too. I’d do this again.

    The Secret Venice + Cicheti & Wine Private Tour: questions travelers ask

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

    How much does The Secret Venice + Cicheti & Wine Private Tour cost?

    +

    Prices start at $149 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 The Secret Venice + Cicheti & Wine Private Tour 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 The Secret Venice + Cicheti & Wine Private Tour worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 64 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 25 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 The Secret Venice + Cicheti & Wine Private Tour?

    +

    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 The Secret Venice + Cicheti & Wine Private Tour 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 The Secret Venice + Cicheti & Wine Private Tour?

    +

    Around 9 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 The Secret Venice + Cicheti & Wine Private Tour 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 Pasta and Tiramisu Cooking Class with Wine in Venice, Eating Venice Small Group Food & Drinks Tour, Venice Bacaro Food Tour: Eat and Drink like a Venetian. 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.
