What you'll see and do
City of Venice
Your guide will pick you up at your centrally located accommodation in Venice and accompany you on a walk through the narrow streets of Venice, where you can breathe the atmosphere of an Italian city of the18th century, still extremely vital. Along the way, depending on your hotel location, you will explore churches, palaces and Campielli (Venician squares). NOTE: you will have a meeting point if your location is far from the city center or on an island.

Ponte di Rialto
Rialto is a picturesque area of Venice with the ancient fish market shadowed by the majestic Rialto Bridge. On the sides of this marble monument, jewelers and other shops display their goods.
30 minutes here
Piazza San Marco
Piazza San Marco is the living room of Venice, a meeting place for tourists and Venetians. The Square is an open-air museum with the sea as a scenario. The bell tower, 324 feet high, is an exact copy of the tower, which suddenly collapsed in 1902. Together with the Basilica, it is one of the symbols of Venice. The magnificent clock tower was the platform for Galileo's studies. Two bronze "Moors" mark the hours with the same fifteenth-century mechanism on top. (tower and bell tower from the outside).

The Venice tour includes an off-the-beaten-track site beloved by the Venetians. This monumental staircase is a harmonious ensemble of the Renaissance, Gothic, and Venetian-Byzantine styles. Commissioned by Pietro Contarini in 1400 to flaunt the importance of its name, the Venetians added the nickname "del bovolo." The snail, whose shape it recalls, thus translates into Venetian. For those who wish, it is possible to climb it and enjoy a spectacular view over Venice's rooftops. We prefer to leave the climb as optional; you will decide on the spot whether to walk the 80 steps of the 26-meter high tower (8 euros for each participant).
20 minutes here · Admission not included
Basilica di San Marco
Despite the total lack of architectural unity, the beauty of the Basilica is unique. The Byzantine influence is immediately evident and not only for the magnificent mosaics that decorate the facade and the entrance. Your private guide will tell you the history of the Saint and that of the Church. (visit from the outside, ask for entrance tickets, to be bought in advance upon availability.)
20 minutes here · Admission not included
Palazzo Ducale
You will admire a great architecture in the square, the Ducal Palace, once the Doge's residence, the governor of the ancient Serenissima Republic. The oriental style of its façade is the perfect casket to house masterpieces such as Tintoretto and Veronese works. You will admire the characteristic Bridge of Sighs. It was the access ramp for the condemned who sighed while admiring the view for the last time before being imprisoned in prisons. You will see the Place from outside. The Doge's Palace's visit is possible on request and will be included in the tour, inevitably sacrificing at least one hour of the walk.

Very informative and...
Very informative and flexible for our interests. Claudia was great and showed us all the sites on the itinerary and explained the significance of each one and more. Our lunch was very good and generous portions.

Tour was good, a bit...
Tour was good, a bit long. I would skip the lunch. It was also raining. I would recommend taking A poncho. Murano was incredible.
Response from the operator: Thank you, Rick, for your feedback, which gives us the chance to remind our future guests to read all the information we send carefully. If you check your email, you will see that we wrote: 'Be prepared for rain and wear waterproof shoes.' Nevertheless, it is thanks to you that we added the information to the default voucher, where it was previously missing!!!! According to lunch, it is a point of view. When planning a 7-hour tour, we must consider that walking without proper rest for lunch may not be suitable for everyone. Most travelers appreciate stopping at a nice restaurant for a break, which is especially essential on a hot summer day. However, this allows us to remind our customers that the tour is customizable, as stated on the vouchers and emails. Creating a personalized experience is our aim, so take advantage of a private tour to design your perfect day trip! Thank you again for choosing our experience! Best Regards, Elisabetta

Wonderful walking tour of...
Wonderful walking tour of Venice, great glass factory tour in Murano and incredible lunch in Burano. My only regret is that we did not have more time in Burano. It is well worth at least half a day to explore and shop.

Venice tour in one day - the complete package
Exellent service from the time we started witg meeting our tour guide Cleo at the Hotel, to the end , when our personalized water boat returned back to our hotel. Cleo truly provided an exceptional experience walking through Venice . The lunch was as authentic and plentiful. We enjoyed the boat tour to the island of Murano and it's a must to visit and take home a master piece of art.

Venice in One Day: City Walk, Murano & Burano with Lunch: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Venice.
How much does Venice in One Day: City Walk, Murano & Burano with Lunch cost?
+
Prices start at $396 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 in One Day: City Walk, Murano & Burano with Lunch take?
+
Plan for about 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 in One Day: City Walk, Murano & Burano with Lunch worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 57 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.8/5 across 4 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 in One Day: City Walk, Murano & Burano with Lunch?
+
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 in One Day: City Walk, Murano & Burano with Lunch suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 7-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Venice in One Day: City Walk, Murano & Burano with Lunch?
+
Around 1 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 7-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Venice in One Day: City Walk, Murano & Burano with Lunch 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.
