Such a great experience from beginning to end! Our guide knew exactly how to adjust based on our kids’ ages (5 and 12) and managed to keep them both engaged. We loved that she took us to some quieter spots too, away from all the tourists. It felt like we got to see a more ‘local’ side of Venice. Would totally recommend for families!
