Venice Tour Questions, Answered

It depends on the format. Across the 31 tours listed here, published from-prices range from $44 for a wine tasting to $203 for a private street food tour with a sommelier. Read each listing to see what the price covers.

Durations vary widely. A wine tasting or a lagoon aperitif can finish in about an hour, while cicchetti and bacaro walks run roughly two to three and a half hours. Cooking classes and market combinations take up to four. Each listing states its exact duration, so match it to the time you have in the city.

A cicchetti walk is the simplest way in. The Sunset Cicchetti & Wine Tasting tour from Devour Italy runs 3 hours and holds a 5-star rating across 477 reviews, while Eat Drink Repeat from Savor Italy Tours fits 10 tastings and 6 wines into about three hours. Either gives you the bacaro habit in one evening.
