With three kids in tow, we were thrilled at how engaging and fun our guide Anna made everything, from exploring to hearing cool stories about the city’s history. The kids were smiling the whole time, and we loved seeing Venice through their excitement. Highly recommend for families!

Full Description
Looking for a fun and educational way to engage your children while traveling? Our private, child-centered three-hour Venice tour offers an unforgettable introduction to one of Italy’s most enchanting cities. With a local English-speaking guide, children experience history and culture in a lively, interactive way, while parents enjoy insights into Venice’s art, architecture, and everyday life. Stroll through vibrant St. Mark’s Square, watch gondolas glide by, and explore canals, bridges, and hidden corners where locals live, work, and play.
This kid-friendly walking tour takes families across the famous Rialto Bridge, through bustling marketplaces, and into lively squares such as Campo San Bartolomeo, home to landmarks like Marco Polo’s house, Casanova’s haunts, stunning churches, and impressive works of art. Children will be captivated by Venice’s winding alleys, charming bridges, and colorful canals, bringing the city’s stories to life.

Tours are designed as comfortable outdoor adventures, so dress casually, bring hats and water, and enjoy a rich sensory experience of Venice’s art, culture, and history. Along the way, families can stop at nearby restaurants for relaxed meals, giving everyone a chance to recharge and savor Venice’s flavors.
