From there, the ride continues into Venice’s charming neighborhoods, navigating quieter canals where you’ll gain insight into the daily rhythms of Venetian life. As your guide reveals the unique features of Venice, you’ll learn how the city was ingeniously built on a network of wooden piles and islands, and how life in this car-free city depends entirely on its waterways.

Equipped with their activity booklet, they’ll be transported to the 13th century, tackling a series of challenges to prove their skills in observation, discovery, and critical thinking—just like the legendary Venetian adventurer. Younger children who aren’t yet able to read will be invited to a playful lion hunt, searching for lion symbols hidden in the square’s carvings and decorations.

During the visit, you will stop to admire the magnificent facade of the Doge’s Palace, a stunning Gothic masterpiece that once served as the residence of the Doge and the seat of Venice’s powerful government.
