Our most popular family tour in Venice, this three-hour Venice scavenger hunt uses lions—the symbol of Venice—to trace a route in and around the Rialto and San Marco areas.  Our experts will introduce your children to the idea of symbols in a cityscape and why the lion, in particular, is peppered all over Venice. The Venice family tour includes St. Mark's Square, Rialto Bridge, and other spots in the city center.

We’ll begin our tour with a visit to Saint Mark's, where we will start counting the lions—children usually love to compete and see who finds the most lions on the itinerary! En route to the Rialto Bridge and the colorful fish market, we will learn more about this fascinating city and search for its emblems on various buildings. While discussing its history, we may have the opportunity to cross the canal with a traghetto ride, which is how the locals travel. 

As an orientation to the city, the Venice tour for kids will vary based on the expertise of the guide since each will incorporate their hidden treasures to enhance your experience. Either way, your children will come away with an excitement for and knowledge of Venice. Looking for more to do in Venice with kids? Try our Venice in the Renaissance Tour for Kids.
