Really recommend this experience. Nicolo was very kind, we had conflicting tours and he let us come early. While paining, we got to learn about how his family makes the masks and some carnival history and our maks turned out so beautiful!

My 9 year old daughter and I loved the activity. In face she asked several times if we could go back and do it again while we were in Venice. It was the perfect activity to do with her on our first day. We then understood the history and meaning behind the masks we saw all over the city. Highly recommend.
