Perfect way to try local...
Perfect way to try local Venetian cicchetti from an expert local guide! Great group with lots of options for every preference. Our guide Ana was excellent- fun and flexible.
via Viator
Loved the experience. Try everything, push your boundaries and enjoy the journey.
Eating local cuisine in Venice does not get better. Try everything and you will have the highs and lows of the entire culinary landscape. Even the bites that were not to my liking were memorable and the food that I loved was amazing. The experience of finding both made this tour an authentic experience.

Well run tour
Vanessa knocked it out of the park. No question was unanswered and she took care to ensure our needs were met, whether where to find a drink, toilet, or waste bin, we were informed every step if the way. The food was unique and tasty and I enjoyed the chance to experience lots of different specialties in one tour, as well as learning lots of interesting info about Venitian history and culture. I would be happy to do this tour again or recommend to friends.

Venice Street Food Tour with Local Guide with Local Food Market Visit: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Venice.
How much does Venice Street Food Tour with Local Guide with Local Food Market Visit cost?
+
Prices start at $50 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 Street Food Tour with Local Guide with Local Food Market Visit 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 Street Food Tour with Local Guide with Local Food Market Visit worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 91 out of 100, which we label "90+ Club". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.8/5 across 1,074 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable most popular in Venice, and how flexible the cancellation terms are. Scoring 90 or above puts it in the Outty 90+ Club, the top tier of everything we rank.
Can I cancel or reschedule Venice Street Food Tour with Local Guide with Local Food Market Visit?
+
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 Street Food Tour with Local Guide with Local Food Market Visit 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 Street Food Tour with Local Guide with Local Food Market Visit?
+
Around 376 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 Street Food Tour with Local Guide with Local Food Market Visit 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.
