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.

The Best and only way to tour with a kid - We had the most lovely experience with Sabrina doing the private family tour. Sabrina was warm, knowledgeable, and kind! She tailored this tour perfectly to keep our 7 year old engaged and get the adults informed. She was so lovely and it was honestly the only way I’d recommend seeing Doge’s and St Mark’s with a kid. Zero lines and 1000x more fun. You see the tour groups with their little headphones following a flag and getting none of the attention Sabring provided to us. 100000% recommend. This was worth every single penny

Amazing Family Tour of Venice! - We loved our Venice Tour for kids of Doge's and St Mark's. Tullia was an amazing guide who made the unique history of Venice accessible and interesting for the adults and children alike. We had three children aged 6, 8 and 10 in our group and they loved their activity books, spotting aninals in the mosaics, skipping the queues(!) and learning about the grisly past of the prison. Without Tullia's warm demeanour, patience and extensive knowledge, our trip to Venice wouldn't have been nearly as memorable or special. I highly recommend LivTours. If you are looking for a personalised tour, aimed at children, with a fantastic guide then look no further. The children loved their badges and their complimentary "Venice: the basics" book which I read to them tonight before bed. The engaging illustrations help to explain the construction of Venice - absolutely fascinating! Afterwards we did the mask making workshop which was such a special and unique family activity! We will treasure our masks and intend to hang them on our wall at home. Martina was an excellent mask painting teacher and we all made a mask we are proud of. Thank you LivTours for making our holiday so special!
