You can’t visit Venice without taking a boat ride along the Grand Canal. This tour offers a unique perspective of the city, with its splendid palaces and historic architecture facing the water.

An Experience in Murano
A trip to Murano is a must-do excursion when you’re in Venice with your family.

Explore St. Mark’s Square on a Hunt for Ancient Inscriptions
St. Mark’s Square is a must-visit for anyone traveling to Venice. The long lines and crowds can be discouraging if you’re in Venice with your family. Having the chance to visit it with an alternative tour can be the ideal solution to satisfy both adults and children, such as discovering hidden inscriptions among the ancient stones that tell us so much about the city’s history! After playing the “Hunt for Inscriptions”, we continue exploring the Olivetti Store, designed by the famous architect Carlo Scarpa, where design and architecture blend into a unique cultural experience. We will use vintage typewriters to become Venetian journalists!
