In Venice also take a look at Hotel Bucintoro. Away from the crowds in Castillo, quiet, amazing breakfasts. Get a room on the lagoon side. Beautiful views.

With a wife and 14-year-old, I would choose Makay (Kuala Lumpur or Georgetown) + Singapore. You’ll still get amazing food, culture and a very different experience, but with less chaos, easier transport, and plenty for a teenager to enjoy.

Using your logic, why wouldn’t any of the heinous crimes committed by men (who commit the overwhelming majority of all violent and sexual crimes globally across world history) prohibit them from holding positions of power?
You are correct. We need to run a robot.

LemmyLives posted earlier with some good tips.
Common sense goes a long way—stay aware, look confident, and don’t appear lost. Avoid getting caught in big crowds when possible. Ditto on carrying some cash, especially small bills, and make sure the debit and credit card companies know he’ll be traveling.
Warm clothes and good shoes are a must for London in winter. The weather can get cold, wet, and messy.
Two weeks sounds like a long time, but unless he wants to do the “if it’s Tuesday, this must be Belgium” route, I’d suggest picking a few major cities and getting a real feel for them rather than trying to see everything.

"The study found that having a disruptive classmate can have long-term effects. In a class of 25, having one additional disruptive student can lower test scores and reduce future earnings by about 3%. Even one year of exposure can have a lasting impact. The researchers estimate that this effect is similar to having a teacher whose quality is significantly lower, and that one year of exposure could reduce classmates’ future earnings by about $80,000."
It is an interesting study.
