My daughter's first gondola ride on the Grand Canal is a memory the whole family keeps bringing up. She was grinning ear to ear the entire time, pointing at every passing palace. Even her older brother, who claims to be too cool for boat rides, admitted it was pretty special. Small moments like that made the whole thirteen night trip worthwhile.
Packing thirteen nights across four Italian cities kept everyone busy, loved the mix of history and coast, just wish Sorrento had one extra day built in.
The Venice hotel room we got was smaller and more tired looking than the photos suggested, disappointing for a luxury tier package with kids needing space.
The St Mark's Basilica mosaics were stunning, but queuing in the June heat with young children was rough. There's no shade in that line and no faster entry we could find, so we had two very cranky kids by the time we got inside.
Colosseum tour with the kids went better than expected, guide kept them hooked throughout.
St Mark's Basilica mosaics are stunning but the queue in June heat with young children was rough, could use some shade or a faster entry option.
