Because family vacations should feel effortless—and unforgettable.
Let us take care of every detail, so you can focus on what really matters: your time together.
Best Family Experiences in Italy
Italy is a natural playground for children—and a dream for parents when planned right. Start in Rome, where history becomes a game with interactive tours of the Colosseum and Gladiator School experiences.
Move to Florence, where kids can try marble paper-making or make their own gelato in a real lab. In Tuscany, enjoy nature, space, and slower rhythms—perfect for villa stays with pools and open-air cooking.
End with the magic of Venice, where exploring the canals on a private boat or crafting masks in an artisan workshop becomes a family adventure.
With over 15 years of experience planning tailor-made family vacations for American travelers, we know what it takes to make Italy work for every generation—especially the youngest.

FAQ – Everything You Need to Know
In this section, you’ll find answers to the most common questions our travelers ask.
Every journey is unique, and while this page covers the essentials, we’re always here for anything more specific or personal.
If your question isn’t listed—just ask. We’ll be happy to help shape your perfect Italian experience.
Is Italy a family-friendly destination for luxury travel?
Absolutely. Italy is full of wonder for all ages. From kid-friendly history in Rome to magical gondola rides in Venice and beach adventures along the Amalfi Coast, every family member will find something to love.
Do you offer tours and experiences specifically for kids?
Yes! We plan immersive experiences for children of all ages—gladiator classes in Rome, mask painting in Venice, pizza-making with real Neapolitan chefs, and treasure hunts through ancient ruins.
Can we include both adult relaxation and family fun in our itinerary?
Absolutely. We can plan moments for adult-only enjoyment—like wine tastings or spa treatments—paired with engaging kids’ experiences and even trusted babysitting services where needed.
What are the best regions in Italy to visit with kids?
Some of our most loved family destinations include:
- Rome – for living history and hands-on learning
- Tuscany – wide open spaces, villas, and countryside adventures
- Amalfi Coast – boat rides and scenic coastal towns
- Venice – magic, mystery, and canals
- Puglia – known for its soft sandy beaches, charming towns, and laid-back, family-friendly atmosphere
- Sicily – great food, ancient ruins, volcano hikes, and seaside fun
Are your family tours private?
Yes. All our itineraries are private and fully customized. Your family gets its own guides, vehicles, and activities—designed at your own pace, with no other groups involved.
Is child safety guaranteed during transfers and tours?
Safety is our top priority. Upon request, we provide certified child car seats and boosters in every private transfer. Let us know your children’s ages and sizes in advance so we can plan accordingly.
How do you select accommodations for families?
We carefully choose hotels and villas with family-friendly features like pools, spacious rooms, early check-in, and connecting suites. Please note: European rooms are often smaller than those in the U.S., so families of 4 or 5 may need two connecting rooms. We’ll guide you through the best options—just let us know your preferences during your request.
Can our children learn something while traveling?
Of course! Many of our activities are both educational and fun: archaeology lessons, private art workshops, hands-on cooking classes, and even language games during city walks with local guides.
Do you adjust the schedule for younger children or teens?
Yes. We build each itinerary around your family’s rhythm—slower mornings, nap breaks, or extra excitement for teens like biking, hiking, or beach excursions. Everything is tailored.
