Clock tower tour
The information about the meeting point and where to collect tickets were conflicting and incorrect. We missed the tour not because we were not on time but the meeting place stated in the app was wrong. As we did not have to collect tickets because they were available in the app and emailed to us we went straight to meeting place 30 minutes early. No one showed. We sent emails and called the number. We were redirected to place where you collect the tickets only to be told we were now 15 minutes late and we missed the tour. The ticket office actually told us that they were the only official place to get tickets and book the tour not a third party like Viator. We have requested a refund to Viator however this was also denied. Not a great experience. The clock tower tour was one of the tours I really wanted to do on our second trip to Venice.

I will not use Trip Advisor again- use Get Your Guide!
I will never use trip advisor again. Got an email with a cryptic note saying they couldn’t provide tickets to the clock tower, but then kept getting reminders to arrive on time. Have not gotten a refund yet, and TripAdvisor says to contact the provider for the refund. Don’t recommend. Use get your guide- all wonderful experiences with them.

Love the Clock Tower!
I really enjoyed this tour; the guide was very informative and explained everything so well! I have always wanted to see the clock tower and learn more about it so that’s one thing off my bucket list. Thank you!

Why this scores 34
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Venice Clock Tower: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Venice.
How much does Venice Clock Tower cost?
+
Prices start at $21 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 Venice Clock Tower take?
+
Plan for about 0.7 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 Venice Clock Tower worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 34 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (3.2/5 across 35 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable culture & history in Venice, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Venice Clock Tower?
+
No. This experience is sold on a non-refundable basis, so only book a date you are confident about. Similar experiences in the city do offer free cancellation if flexibility matters more than price.
Is Venice Clock Tower suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 0.7-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Venice Clock Tower?
+
Around 12 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 0.7-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Venice Clock Tower 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.
