A very nice place
Beautiful places to do night and day Ideal time in December because few people feel good!!! In summer, Venice must be very invaded by tourists ...

Great walk across Venice
Worth every step you take. Will come across where Marco Polo was born among so many more hidden areas. Small shops and tiny streets and alleys. All safe and a must see.

Rialto bridge
Great place to visit with the market and restaurants close by ,have a drink and watch the all the boats go pass down the grand canal.

An introduction to Venice
This walking tour of Venice lasts one and a half hour and should be booked in advance at the tourist office. The tour is a good introduction to Venice, with a knowledgeable guide offering a mixture of hardcore information and insights in daily life in Venice (street names, water supply, garbage disposal, …). No interiors are visited. The walk started with a surprisingly short overview of Piazza San Marco. I guess the guide judged that we had already read everything there was to say in our guidebook ? We quickly moved away from the crowd and entered the Castello District (Campo Santa Maria Formosa, Scuola Grande di San Marco, Santo Giovanni e Paolo, Fondazione Querini Stampalia). Next up we made a few stops in the Cannaregio District (Santa Maria dei Miracoli, birthplace of Marco Polo). The tour ended at the Rialto Bridge.

Walking Tour of Venice from St. Mark's Square to Rialto: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Venice.
How much does Walking Tour of Venice from St. Mark's Square to Rialto cost?
+
Prices start at $41 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 Walking Tour of Venice from St. Mark's Square to Rialto take?
+
Plan for about 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 Walking Tour of Venice from St. Mark's Square to Rialto worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 54 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4/5 across 6 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 Walking Tour of Venice from St. Mark's Square to Rialto?
+
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 Walking Tour of Venice from St. Mark's Square to Rialto suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 2-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Walking Tour of Venice from St. Mark's Square to Rialto?
+
Around 2 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-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Walking Tour of Venice from St. Mark's Square to Rialto 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.
