Enquire NowVenice opens like a film set. Hunt down iconic movie locations from Spider-Man to Casino Royale, recreating scenes and shooting TikToks at the Rialto Bridge and Piazza San Marco. Glide through hidden canals by gondola, watch Murano glassblowers transform fire into art, and wander Burano's rainbow streets. After hours, the Doge's Palace becomes yours alone, revealing Gothic architecture without the crowds.
Florence hands you the map and steps back. A city-wide treasure hunt sends you chasing clues linked to Dante, da Vinci, and Michelangelo, decoding secrets on monuments and frescoes. Then it's hands-on: paint your own fresco using ancient techniques, mixing pigments and applying colour to fresh plaster. The Ferrari Museum in Maranello brings speed and legend, with F1 simulators and the option to ride shotgun with a pro driver on the track.
Tuscany turns wild. Teens take over the kitchen, preparing traditional dishes and handmade pasta under a chef's guidance while parents relax. Then quad bikes rip across rugged trails and rolling hills, discovering the landscape from a whole new angle. Forest bathing follows, a mindful walk through Castelvecchio Reserve that slows everything down.
Rome delivers the finale. Street food lunch from a vintage minivan, sunset touring in classic Ape cars, and a VR-powered gladiator experience inside the Colosseum that brings ancient engineering to life.
