The guide waits in front of San Zaccaria, the salt-scented air tugging at the edges of the piazza as gulls wheel over the lagoon. Families cluster, strollers and small backpacks in tow, and within minutes the rhythm of Venice takes over: footsteps on stone, the hush of canals, the occasional call of a gondolier cutting across a side canal. This is a two-hour walking tour designed to move at a child's pace without skimping on the city's essentials — St. Mark's Square, Santa Maria Formosa, Campo San Bartolomeo and, finally, the bustle of Rialto's market — and yes, an authentic gelato stop that doubles as a lesson in Italian treats.
