Family all-day tour of Venice and Murano with Nico - It was the first time in Italy and Venice for our family of four. Our tour-guide Nico was born in Venice and knew all the highlights in the city as well its rich history. He met us first thing in the morning in the town square, walked us through a food market before showing us the Rialto, we also toured the Doge’s palace, StMarks square and Basilica di San Marco where Nico walked us through the history, culture and architecture of each landmark - weaving in stories and anecdotes to add color and and keep things interesting even for my teenage daughters! We ended the day with a tour of a factory - Massimiano Schiavon in Murano. We watched them make a beautiful vase in under an hour and saw these amazing phosphorescent.vases in their showroom. The narration from Alex one of the staff there was lively and engaging. The water taxi rides to and from were also smooth and the flat waters didn’t cause any issues with motion sickness. All in all- a really fun and informative tour by Nico from Liv tours. Highly recommend!

Great family trip in Venice - We did a private family tour with Valentina and enjoyed the time very much. We were traveling with three small children (1.3 and 7 years old). The guide has found just the right mix of explanations for the adults and fun with the children. The two hours were very entertaining.

Private Doge tour with secret rooms - We loved it! Tullia was very kind, energetic, knowledgeable, and ready to answer any wild questions we had! The depth of her knowledge on the art, architecture, and history in general was incredible, and we couldn’t have asked for a better guide!

Highly Recommend for Families - We took a private family tour with Liv Tours and Branicka. Our children were ages 10 and 12. They did a fantastic job organizing our tour with all the tickets. We walked into all the entry points without having to wait in line. My husband and I have been to Venice multiple times. It was the first time for our children and we had never taken a tour. We learned so much! It was definitely worth the cost as it brought both areas to life for all 4 of us. We especially appreciated that the tour guide not only presented the information in a kid friendly way but engaged them throughout by asking questions and testing their knowledge in a fun way! We thought the experience was fantastic and one of the highlights of our trip.
