Great tour of Venice. Simonetta did a great job making it accessible and fun for the kids (3 and 7) while still giving us parents good info on the history of the city. Would recommend!
Our tour guide, Julia was amazing! She took us off the beaten path and we saw all the lovely side streets of Venice that gives it its charm. We saw a ton and walked a good distance but the kids didn’t even notice because they were so engaged in the conversation.the pace of the tour was customized for our family and it made for a special day.
Julia was amazing! We were a family of 9: 5 adults, 2 teens and an active 5- Year old. Julia engaged the 5- yr old at the start. We had planned a 2-hour walking tour through Venice with her. Julia was very knowledgeable, interesting and personable. She lives in Venice with her family and shared many interesting facts about living in Venice. I highly recommend her and her services.
Wonderful Tour of Venice! We are a large family of 10 with 5 children ages 8 to 18. Giulia was great at engaging young and old alike. We went to the main sights along with others away from the hordes of people and more shaded areas, which was a relief! Our guide always had a smile on her face which was contagious! Everyone agreed it was a great tour. Thank you, Gullia (Julia😍)
We had an amazing tour with Julia! She was warm and engaging as a guide. She pointed out all the major sights but also the small things that really gave you a sense for the local culture. My son loved seeing the local elementary school as we walked by, and was fascinated when she pointed out the ambulances (which are boats of course!). She kindly made recommendations for restaurants to try during our trip and really tailored the tour to our interests. It’s clear she loves her city and by the end of the tour we were in love too! Highly recommend this tour for families looking for a good orientation to Venice.
Our guide Veronica was amazing!!!! She made the tour interesting, engaging, and fun for us and our 8 year old daughter. Wish there were more tours like this in other cities. We learned so much and had a great time!!!
Our tour friend was very knowledgeable, informative and enthusiastic! Also great with the kids, and kept them engaged.
Beautiful way to see Venice. We explored around St Mark’s Square as well as small neighborhoods off the beaten path with our native Venetian, Valentina. She was entertaining for our 8 year old granddaughter.
Wonderful tour. Very happy with the guide and worked well for our 12 and 13 year old. Very engaging and informative.
Chiara was great! She took our families all over Venice and showed us some back roads, cool history about some of the buildings and kept the tour fun for two 12 year old girls. It gave us the lay of the land on our first day, which made the rest of our stay even better.
