Tour Description

Travelling with kids can be challenging, that is why we designed this family adventure tour where both children and parents will be actively involved learning art and history of Venice. Enjoy your skip-the-line access to the top attractions of the city and take a historical journey to the times of the powerful Venetian Republic.
Visit the Doge Palace and discover its amusing highlights, such as the collection of ancient weapons and the Renaissance masterpieces by Titian, Tintoretto and Veronese. You will see the beautiful private chambers and the apartments of Doge, the mysterious Bridge of Sights and the New Prisons, where enemies of the Republic, including Casanova were held. Kids will enjoy the thrilling stories about people who were kept in the prisons and learn with fun through the interactive activities, such as treasure hunts and quizzes carefully curated for this family-oriented tour.
Next, we will explore the main symbol of Venice, St. Mark’s Basilica, which is considered one the most beautiful churches of Italy. Get ready to be amazed by a glittering world of gold as you discover the majestic mosaics and other treasures within the church, including the Iconostasis and the Pala d’Oro – a 12th-century Byzantine altarpiece. Our guide will share interesting facts and curiosities about the Cathedral and explain why St. Mark became the patron of Venice.

Russell P. with our tour Guide Lucia
"Our guide, Lucia, had our kids entertained and still was able to give us the history of the Doge's Palace and St. Mark's Basilica. She started off in St. Mark's Square with a scavenger hunt trying to find different sculptures and landmarks. She turned the entire tour into a scavenger hunt trying to find different symbols in artworks with varying points for each. The points were just for fun, but it even got the adults into it looking for them too. She took us through the history of the Doge's palace, the Bridge of Sighs and St. Mark's Basilica. It was an unforgettable experience for all ages.", Russell P.
