FAQ

Do we go inside the monuments?

During the tour, we’ll admire the Doge’s Palace, the Campanile (Bell Tower), and the Basilica from the outside, as interior visits are not included. If you’d like to customize the tour to include visits to monuments, just click here, and our hero team will make it happen with a touch of magic!

What’s the difference between a gondola and a water taxi?

[bouton_read_more]

Both are iconic ways to explore Venice, but they’re designed for different experiences. Gondolas, with their unique shape, are perfect for gliding through the city’s narrow canals and offer a peaceful ride—it’s the ideal moment for a family selfie! Water taxis, being motorized, allow you to travel further and see more of Venice. They’re perfect for cruising along the Grand Canal, where you can admire its magnificent palaces, and for exploring less touristy neighborhoods, giving your family a broader perspective of the city and its hidden gems. Want to learn more about our water taxi option?

Is it safe to navigate on a gondola?

Yes, navigating on a gondola is safe! Gondolas are designed to be stable, even when moving through narrow canals or passing other boats. Gondoliers are highly skilled and trained to handle the boats expertly. However, it’s important for kids to remain calm and seated throughout the ride to ensure everyone’s safety.

Is this tour adapted for very young kids?

We’re proud to tailor our tours for children of all ages! For little ones who can’t yet read, we’ve created an exciting lion hunt—they’ll have a blast searching for these symbols throughout Venice!

Is this Venice family tour suitable for teens?

Absolutely! While we won’t use a game booklet, our professional guides will tailor their storytelling to captivate and entertain your teenagers throughout the tour.

How challenging is the walking portion?

Venice is a city of bridges, so the tour involves walking up and down several of them. While the route isn’t particularly strenuous, it may present challenges for people with reduced mobility.

What happens if it rains?

Rain or shine, the tour will continue—unless gondolas are legally prohibited from operating, which is quite rare. Just grab an umbrella or a raincoat, and you’re good to go. After all, a little rain is just part of the adventure in a city built on water!
