Family Friendly Venice Private Tour with St. Mark’s Basilica

During the Venice Tour for Families, kids and parents will learn about Venetian traditions and the history of the aristocratic families who ruled Venice when the city was known as the: “Queen of the Adriatic Sea”.

Your children will be the stars of the tour and your expert will keep them engaged, asking them questions and involving them throughout the tour. Located on more than 100 small islands separated by canals and linked by world famous bridges, such as Rialto, the city and its lagoon are listed among the World Heritage Sites.

Once a Republic, Venice was one of the most influential maritime powers during the Middle Ages and Renaissance periods. It was also an important centre of commerce (such as grain, silks, spices and other products) and home to many artists from the 13th up to the 17th century.

You will visit the amazing Doge’s Palace, once the main ruler of the Venetian Republic. Once the residence of the powerful Doge’s who ruled Republican Venice, you will again have priority entrance to avoid lines. Here you will learn all about this crucial period in Venetian history as you visit the Doge’s apartments and enjoy the marvellous works of art housed inside.

The next stop of the tour will be the romantic Bridge of Sighs (you will discover the origins of its unusual name!) and then you will proceed to St. Mark’s Square and Basilica; inside the church you will have the opportunity to admire the famous Golden Pall, the Basilica’s high altar universally recognized as one of the most refined and accomplished works of Byzantine craftsmanship, as it is adorned with over 2000 gems.
