Select Italy’s Amazing Family Tours are a bonding experience for the whole family! We have created them by teaming up with Alphabet Kids, the go-to source for multicultural educational activities and adventures.

The trip starts in Venice where your hotel is the warm and welcoming 3-star Locanda al Leon. It’s right in the center of town, and when you arrive, a gondola ride will introduce you to the city’s canals and to mesmerizing views of its ancient palazzo. The following day, explore Venice with a private guide in a special guided walking tour designed for children with interactive learning in mind. In the afternoon, get your hands dirty during an informative and fun mask-making workshop. You will learn all about Carnival and its centuries-old traditions, while making your very own mask to take back home with you!

Florence is your next stop — here you will stay at Relais Uffizi, a charming property facing onto the central Piazza della Signoria. Our family-friendly walking tour introduces your children to the birthplace of the Renaissance; they’ll get to climb a 13th century tower and do a yummy gelato tasting, too! No visit to Florence is complete without a face-to-face meeting with Michelangelo’s David. In Italy food is both culture and fun, so get ready for a visit the farmer’s market and your hands-on family cooking class where you will prepare a traditional Tuscan meal.

Last stop is Rome, the Eternal City. Your hotel, the Fontanella Borghese, once belonged to a Borghese princess. A highlight is your visit to one of the world’s the most compelling art spaces: the Vatican Museums and the Sistine Chapel. In the afternoon, it’s time for another hands-on cooking class where you will learn how to make a real pizza just like the Romans do!
