Great mask making experience

Our family of six, including our four children, had an incredible Venetian mask-making experience that was one of the highlights of our trip to Venice. The instructor was welcoming, patient, and wonderful with kids, making everyone feel comfortable regardless of artistic ability. The experience was hands-on, creative, and engaging, and each of us left with a unique mask and a special keepsake to remember our time in Venice. If you’re traveling as a family, this is an activity we highly recommend. It was fun and educational. Thank you for helping us create such wonderful memories together!

A nice moment with family.

A very nice moment to have with family, regardless of the age of the participants. We have all the time to make our mask; the facilitator does not rush us. It's a shame she doesn't speak French.
