The Only Way to See the Doge Palace with Kids!
P H, 05-10-2022
Lucia was the perfect guide for us. We were four adults and three children (ages 11, 11, and 9). She knew how to challenge the kids and keep them engaged in potentially dry boring material. The kids loved her. Frankly, the adults learned a lot too because she kept her comments simple and interesting for all. This was our fifth tour with "Tours for Kids" and our last day in Italy. Lucia was wonderful and e hope to see her again someday.
Thank you. Veronica was...

Our guide, Lucia, had our kids entertained and still was able to give us the history of the Doge's Palace and St. Mark's Basilica. She started off in St. Mark's Square with a scavenger hunt trying to find different sculptures and landmarks. She turned the entire tour into a scavenger hunt trying to find different symbols in artworks with varying points for each. The points were just for fun, but it even got the adults into it looking for them too. She took us through the history of the Doge's palace, the Bridge of Sighs and St. Mark's Basilica. It was an unforgettable experience for all ages.
Wonderful tour for young child

We loved our tour of the Doge's Palace and St. Mark's Basilica with Sara. My 6 year old son had a great time with the scavenger hunt and learned a lot too. I would highly recommend this tour as a great way to interest young children in visiting these amazing historic sites.
