The Best Tour Guide
Our tour guide Ana was very knowledgeable and professional. Her explanations were easy to follow. We loved the experience.

Best food tour guide!
Vanessa was an excellent food tour guide. She was easy to understand, very informative and helpful. We really enjoyed our tour with her and would highly recommend her!🙂
via Tripadvisor
The cost out weighted the amount of food.
The ad pictures do not describe the tour nor the food. Although, it was an opportunity to try foods I would not normally try, we only had 3 different hors'devour type stops and 1 gelato stop. We did more walking than sampling food.

A pleasant couple of hours
Lovely guide and we were quite a small group. Would have been nice if we'd all introduced ourselves to the group at the start of the tour. Thought the ciccetti were nice but had nicer the day before. You had to buy drinks on top so worth knowing beforehand. We'd done a similar tour a couple of years ago and it was much dearer so should have guessed. Another difference was that on the previous tour we sat down at each venue to eat. We were notified earlier in the day that the time of the tour had been brought forward by half an hour to 4.30 p.m. This did mean we had a bit of a rush to get there on time. especially it said if you were 5 minutes late the tour would leave without you and you wouldn't be able to join it !

Wonderful Experience
This is a relaxing way to see various parts of Venice and get information on the history, architecture and local food. Our tour guide (Vanessa: aka Venice) a resident of 20 years, married to a local, was very casual and engaging. She included everyone in the conversation and experience.

Venetian Cicchetti Street Food and Sightseeing Walking Tour: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Venice.
How much does Venetian Cicchetti Street Food and Sightseeing Walking Tour cost?
+
Prices start at $56 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 Venetian Cicchetti Street Food and Sightseeing Walking Tour 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 Venetian Cicchetti Street Food and Sightseeing Walking Tour worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 76 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.7/5 across 93 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 Venetian Cicchetti Street Food and Sightseeing Walking 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 Venetian Cicchetti Street Food and Sightseeing Walking Tour 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 Venetian Cicchetti Street Food and Sightseeing Walking Tour?
+
Around 33 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 Venetian Cicchetti Street Food and Sightseeing Walking 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 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 Venetian Cicchetti Street Food and Sightseeing Walking Tour?
+
Included: English speaking Local guide; Snacks; 2.5-hour Walking Tour; and Food tastings. Not included: Drinks; Tip (optional); 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 Venetian Cicchetti Street Food and Sightseeing Walking Tour?
+
Meet the guide at Campo San Bortolomio next the statue. The guide will be holding a sign written "Food Tour". Our guides wait for travelers for no more than 5 minutes beyond the scheduled time. Hotel pickup is not included, so plan your own transport and arrive 15 minutes early.
What languages is Venetian Cicchetti Street Food and Sightseeing Walking Tour offered in?
+
It runs in English. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.
Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Venetian Cicchetti Street Food and Sightseeing Walking Tour?
+
