A: Yes, the age limit is 10+. Unfortunately, your 9-year-old can’t join this tour. It’s strictly for guests ages 10 and up. If you're looking for something family-friendly, you might want to check out other local attractions in Venice that cater to younger kids.

A: The tour is mostly on the trolley, but you do have a 30-minute stop outside at the Historic Train Depot. I’d recommend wearing something casual and comfortable, plus sunscreen if it’s sunny. The trolley is air-conditioned, so a light jacket could be good if you get cold easily!

Q: What happens if it rains? Do they cancel the Circus Secrets of Venice tour?

A: They usually don’t cancel unless there’s severe weather. If it’s just light rain, the tour goes on. They might have ponchos available, but it's wise to check with them on the day of. Just keep an eye on the forecast!
