Venice-Along The Grand Canal To Saint Mark's Square™

Venice has many activities for kids to do, and with Sara and Daniela, our English-speaking guides, you’ll learn and have fun. The children of Venice are the most fortunate,- there are no cars, no noise, and endless gelaterias, ice cream shops!  Sail long the Grand Canal in a Gondola, climb the Bell Tower in Saint Mark’s Square – towering 323 feet tall for a panoramic view.  You can sail to the Lido and visit the beach, or visit the Rialto Bridge for a food tour and tasting. Hop on a vaporetto to the Island of Murano – see ancient glass blowers transform glass into beautiful art or sit in Saint Mark’s Square and enjoy a gelato. These are a few of our favorite Kids’ things to see and do in Venice.

Rialto Market Tour and One Day Cooking Class for Kids

Venice – Things To Do With Kids – in a hands-on cooking class and market tour is a discovery in food, culture and history with our chef.  Join our chef  for a morning tour through Venice’s famous Rialto Market. This famous outdoor market is a busy scene starting at the crack of dawn as suppliers sail up from their barges, unload and set up their stands for what becomes a boisterous scene of buyers, sellers and spectators passing by, examining, negotiating between crates and stands piled sky high with goods. Fish is famous here, along with vegetables, herbs, spices, fruits and more. And this landmark marketplace has been setting up and doing this daily since 1097. They tour and shop at their well-known and established merchants for the highest quality of products, and conversation of the day.

Following the market, it is off to the kitchen for your hands-on cooking class. Choose from seafood, fresh pasta, meat or vegetarian on the seasonal menus.
