Great tour with Hidden Gems - Adair did an excellent job of sharing the highlights of Venice as well as typical Venetian things during our family tour. She kept both parents and 4 kids (ages 3, 9, 12 & 13) engaged the whole time. Our train was late arriving so she was flexible with us about needing to get something to eat and incorporated two stops for Venetian street food along the way. I highly recommend a family tour of Venice with Adair!

Wonderful - Claudia gave our family a wonderful time showing us her special areas in Venice. She was warm, enthusiastic and fun and her stories about Venetian life now and in past times were fascinating for our teenagers and very interesting for the adults. We saw & discovered things we would never have found on our own. She had fun activities for the girls, which the adults also joined in, we ate cakes & pastries at the best bakery and she gave us many suggestions for visiting & eating for the next few days. Our walk with Claudia was a highlight of our time in Venice.

Great way to see Venice - We are a family of four, including two teens (ages 17 and 13). I chose this tour not because of the games/activities geared toward kids (in fact, I messaged the guide in advance specifically saying we did not want that since my kids are older) but because I wanted a two-hour walking tour of Venice and the others I found were three hours in duration. We were in Venice this past June just as a heat wave hit Italy, and I figured two hours of walking would be plenty. :) Our guide (I believe her name was Claudia) was friendly, engaging, flexible and worked in a couple specific spots we wanted to see. (My son wanted to see a couple locations that were in one of the Spider Man movies.) She also was incredibly knowledgeable and we learned a lot about Venetian history and culture. Highly recommend this tour as a great way for anyone (of any age) to see Venice.

Incredible Tour with Elena - We cannot say enough wonderful things about the incredible tour Elena gave to me and my family. I have two kids (13 and 10) and not once did they ask "what time is it?" or "is it almost over?" I also never once looked at my watch because Elena had us ENTHRALLED. Her knowledge of the city is unmatched and her passion to share her love if Venice kept me hoping the tour would never end. The first thing we did upon returning to the hotel was to book another tour with Elena. She was warm, friendly, engaging and truly cared about what we wanted to hear and learn. All the stars to Elena. We absolutely fell in love with Venezia and we cannot recommend her enough.

Your Was Amazing! Romy was Wonderful. 5/5 - We had a great couple of hours with Romy. We learned a ton about Venice, including the history and the present, from someone board and raised (and still living) in Venice. She kept the kids engaged and let me ask my nerdy questions. Highly recommend this tour for anyone interested in Venice - particularly those traveling with kids.

A wonderful way to see Venice with kids - Genny took us on a family-friendly walking tour of Venice yesterday. She took us to see places we would never have found on our own and had lots of interesting facts for the adults, and was great with the kids and moved at their pace. It was the highlight of our visit to Venice! Grazie mille Genny!

Great tour! - Our guide did a great job engaging the kids and adults alike. She had us complete a scavenger hunt and the kids got to put stickers on a paper when they found the item. We really enjoyed it!
