Wrong directions give.
The tour itself was great but the ticket sent to us had the wrong meeting point and directions. Made it very stressful trying to find the place and we were late. If I could have cancelled I would have.
via Tripadvisor
Groups rather large but interesting.
It was quite a large group, I think it would be better if smaller. Martine the Manager sent me a message in the afternoon saying 'I have moved you to a different time', I found this incredibly rude. 'Would you mind moving to a different time etc' would have been more polite. I only arrived in Venice the day of the tour so had booked that time for a reason, if someone comes later and wants that time maybe acknowledge that someone has already booked! They are getting too big perhaps. Manners are failing! Anna was excellent. But I don't want to have to do a feedback form DURING the activity! Seemed very pushy. Also perhaps mention to meet by the statue in the Viator joining instructions in the allotted square. I arrived, Anna was holding the A4 crumpled sign facing the other way and I had to walk around the square peering at groups to find them. When I said 'Great, found you!' I got quite a strong response I didn't find welcoming. The sign was basically impossible to see! So it has just got too big in my opinion and manners have slipped and frustrations have crept in with staff. Smaller groups gel more usually also. Having said all that it was very interesting, the food takes you out of your comfort zone and Anna is an excellent guide once you get to know her. She was also a true local which was great.

Why this scores 52
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Venice's Food Tour with Authentic Local Tastings and Sightseeing: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Venice.
How much does Venice's Food Tour with Authentic Local Tastings and Sightseeing cost?
+
Prices start at $42 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's Food Tour with Authentic Local Tastings and Sightseeing 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 Venice's Food Tour with Authentic Local Tastings and Sightseeing worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 52 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (3/5 across 2 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's Food Tour with Authentic Local Tastings and Sightseeing?
+
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's Food Tour with Authentic Local Tastings and Sightseeing 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 Venice's Food Tour with Authentic Local Tastings and Sightseeing?
+
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 2.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Venice's Food Tour with Authentic Local Tastings and Sightseeing 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.
