Venice
The City of Canals
Exploring Venice with Rick Steves' Tours
Venice was undoubtedly our favorite city on the tour. Our experience would have been vastly different without the insights and cultural immersion provided by the Rick Steves' tour. The education provided and the knowledge we gained truly enhanced our appreciation of this beautiful city.
Teens' Favorite Part of the Tour in Venice
You hear Rick say it all the time but the best thing to do is to get lost in the back streets of Venice. The kids loved both the guided tours by the Rick Steves' tour guides and walking the streets without a formal plan.
Additional Activities We Did as a Family
We arrived three days before the tour. We crammed a lot in to our vacation in Venice. Although they were all wonderful places to see, we would pick half to do all over again. We would prefer more relaxing and meandering instead of hustling.
