Your Was Amazing! Romy was Wonderful. 5/5 - We had a great couple of hours with Romy. We learned a ton about Venice, including the history and the present, from someone board and raised (and still living) in Venice. She kept the kids engaged and let me ask my nerdy questions. Highly recommend this tour for anyone interested in Venice - particularly those traveling with kids.

A wonderful way to see Venice with kids - Genny took us on a family-friendly walking tour of Venice yesterday. She took us to see places we would never have found on our own and had lots of interesting facts for the adults, and was great with the kids and moved at their pace. It was the highlight of our visit to Venice! Grazie mille Genny!

Great tour! - Our guide did a great job engaging the kids and adults alike. She had us complete a scavenger hunt and the kids got to put stickers on a paper when they found the item. We really enjoyed it!

The scavenger hunt she did with my daughter was fun and engaging (and she had prizes for her) she got down on her level and made history Fun! thanks Romy - we miss Venice and you already!

Fantastic and informative introductory family tour of Venice - Our tour with Romy was fantastic. She is incredibly friendly and knowledgeable. We learnt so much about Venice during our tour and Romy showed us many things we wouldn’t have noticed had we been looking around on our own. She kept our 8 and 10 year old children entertained and it was great doing the tour early in our trip as they are now pointing out things they learnt and understand more about the places we are visiting. It was such a brilliant introduction to Venice and well worth doing and has also highlighted things we would like to explore more during our stay. Thank you Romy.

A wonderful morning exploring Venice - Genny was the perfect host, great communication before the tour and very flexible with arrangements to meet our needs. We all loved her from the moment we met, it felt like meeting an old friend because Genny is so warm, funny and kind. She even made sure my shy 9 year old was completely comfortable and engaged. We learnt a lot about beautiful Venice and Genny gave us lots of tips for the rest of our trip. We would not hesitate to recommend Genny and would be sure to book again if we are lucky enough to return.

Genny was the best! - Venice City Kids Tour with Genny: by far one our for FAVORITE activities in Venice. Genny was the best tour guide - she has 2 kids of her own and was so engaging and funny with our kids. We loved her so much - everyone in Venice seemed to know her; yelling “Ciao, Genny!” everywhere we went. Because of her, she got us a private glass blowing demonstration (which we didn’t think we could do because we couldn’t book one in time), a mask making class with San Marco 596 after our tour ANDD she called in a favor and got us entrance to the rooftop of the Fondaco dei Tedeschi with the most incredible views of Venice when we couldn’t get our own tickets 🥲 Please book her — you will not be disappointed. Plus she got our boys a little treat that they loved. She is truly special!

Great experience with a big smile - We close our visit to Venice with a tour from Genny. Genny is fantastic, she shows us the first church, pillory, the (fish) market and the best gelateria and pizzeria in Venice. She tells the story of the masks, carnival and the plague, the rats and cats heroes, the prison and the bookshop. But above all, she takes us to the old ware house where all the famous fashion brands are located nowadays, not for shopping but for the roof terrace where you have a 360 degree view of Venice! Not pre-booked but Genny gets us up fir 15 minutes. She is an example of who does good, meets well and a smile costs nothing. With her disarming stories, smile and character, she get everything done during the tour and she knows how to inform and intrigue all 5 of us. We love Genny!
