WHAT'S A DO-IT-YOURSELF TOUR?

Our DIY tours were created for families who have already booked one of our guided tours in Venice and would love to do more. If you’d like to enrich your stay in Venice with an additional experience but are short on time or budget — or if we’re fully booked on certain dates or schedules don’t quite match — a DIY tour offers a smart and enjoyable alternative!

This way, you can still enjoy a fun, high-quality activity designed by professional guides specialized in kid-friendly tours, even when we can’t be with you in person.

These self-guided activities allow you to complete your Venetian experience with something fun and meaningful for children, while keeping total flexibility. You decide when to start, how long to take, and when to pause — following your family’s rhythm, not a fixed schedule.

✔ Perfect for children
✔ Flexible and stress-free
✔ Educational but never boring
✔ A fun alternative to classic tour
✔ A pleasant family experience

CHOOSE YOUR DIY ADVENTURE

🔵 Murano – The magic of glass
Discover Murano through an engaging scavenger hunt around the island, based on a fully illustrated story that you can even read before the tour. After the game, don’t miss the chance to attend a glassblowing demonstration and see how molten glass is transformed into a vase or a chandelier: pure magic for kids!

🟣 Burano – Colours, lace and island life
Wander through Burano’s colourful streets at your leisure while solving riddles inspired by lace-making and lagoon life. A relaxed and joyful way to explore one of the most photogenic islands of Venice.

🟡 St Mark’s Basilica – A game inside a masterpiece
Marvel at the golden mosaics and explore the extraordinary marble floor filled with strange creatures and mysterious symbols. Your children will be challenged to observe, search and decode details while discovering one of Venice’s most breathtaking monuments.

 

Ideal for kids aged 5–12 but informative even for adults.
