San Marco region walking tour and Gondola trip
Extremely good walking tour taking on the less famous but perhaps more historical parts of Venice. Frederica was a great guide. Thank you. The Gondola trip was lovely and sedate and just needed to relax after the walk.b

Great 2 hour tour in Venice
Very informative walk around Venice. Enjoyed our guides enthusiasm. Also a nice 30 minute Gondola ride. This excursion moves you to the front of the line at the Gondola station

Great overview of Venice with a must-do gondola ride included
The tour & gondola ride were wonderful. Our guide was a lot of fun & very knowledgeable. The meeting place was somewhat confusing. We didn't realise we needed to exchange the voucher for tickets at the office, as this was not stated in the meeting place details
Response from the operator: Thank you very much for taking time out of your day to write this review! Your feedback is important to us! We are pleased to hear that you had such a good experience with us! We hope that you enjoyed Venice and the gondola ride! If you have any further questions, don’t hesitate to contact us. Regards, Bucintoro Viaggi

Fantastic day!
We really enjoyed this tour. Our host was knowledgeable and passing about the city. We got to see sights that we had missed whilst walking round ourselves. The gondola ride was fantastic.

Why this scores 60
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Venice Walking Tour and Gondola Ride: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Venice.
How much does Venice Walking Tour and Gondola Ride cost?
+
Prices start at $60 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 Walking Tour and Gondola Ride take?
+
Plan for about 2.2 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 Walking Tour and Gondola Ride worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 60 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (3.7/5 across 3,656 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.
Can I cancel or reschedule Venice Walking Tour and Gondola Ride?
+
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 Walking Tour and Gondola Ride suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 2.2-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Venice Walking Tour and Gondola Ride?
+
Around 1,280 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 2.2-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Venice Walking Tour and Gondola Ride 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.
