Nice way to spend the evening learning about the history of venice. Silvia was great! Lots of local recommendations as well.

Off the beaten path
It was a fun experience. While the stories may or may not hold weight (for you to decide) there were still some very interesting facts learned as well as getting off the beaten path and getting to see Venice from a different perspective was a very refreshing view point. Plus seeing some parts your would otherwise probably not see as a tourist. Overall it was a fun, relaxing experience, and our guide was wonderful.

Intersting tour, fantastic guide
We LOVED Marina. She was incredibly knowledgeable, and also a passionate and animated storyteller. Would highly recommend her as a tour guide to anyone looking for a fun and informative experience.

This a neat off the beaten path tour that we really enjoyed. We got to hear some good stories and see parts of Venice that we probably would not have otherwise seen. It’s probably a little pricey for what you get, but that’s Venice. I would definitely do it again.

Learn the secrets of Venice!
Giulia was an excellent guide and brought the stories to life with her thorough knowledge and enthusiasm. We now know the secret about the fourth column at the doge’s palace! We really appreciated her follow up message after the tour which included a map and many recommendations for pizza, cicchetti, and restaurants. Her pride for Venice really shines through.

Why this scores 68
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Venice Crimes, Legends & Mysteries Tour at Sunset: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Venice.
How much does Venice Crimes, Legends & Mysteries Tour at Sunset cost?
+
Prices start at $39 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 Crimes, Legends & Mysteries Tour at Sunset take?
+
Plan for about 1.5 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 Venice Crimes, Legends & Mysteries Tour at Sunset worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 68 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.7/5 across 27 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 Venice Crimes, Legends & Mysteries Tour at Sunset?
+
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 Venice Crimes, Legends & Mysteries Tour at Sunset suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 1.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Venice Crimes, Legends & Mysteries Tour at Sunset?
+
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 1.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Venice Crimes, Legends & Mysteries Tour at Sunset 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.
