Top Italy Snorkeling - page 9

Our family of 6 enjoyed learning about the Cinque Terre region while being on this small watercraft. As the seas were rather rough and windy, the "thrill" of the boat ride added to our enjoyment. Swimming off of the boat added to the adventure of this activity. The time spent in one of the towns was adequate for us to have a snack and to do some shopping. There are lifejackets available for anyone who wants one. The staff were organized and ready for us on time.

Our travel agent was friendly, thoughtful, and knowledgeable. We were very pleased with the tour. We did the early morning tour. With the heat and crowds this was the best time for the visit. Meeting at the cafe extra early to try to get some breakfast and coffee. Usually it opens at 6 am but on Thursday 7:00. Oh well, we got some fruit and drinks before meeting guide. We found that the company has you stand in line on side of cafe if you have a private tour. Then they scan ticket and pair you with your assigned guide. Actually, it was pretty efficient.

This was such a fun, active, and engaging experience for both kids and adults! It was a fantastic way to bring history to life while getting everyone moving and burning off some energy. I went with my 76-year-old mother-in-law and my two kids (ages 11 and 7), and we all had a great time. My 11-year-old said it was “super fun” and loved that they were taught actual gladiator training techniques. He admitted he was worried it would be geared toward younger kids, but it ended up being one of his favorite activities. He also thought Claudio was an awesome guide! My 7-year-old’s favorite parts were practicing the gladiator moves, completing the obstacle course, and fighting in the arena. My mother-in-law also thoroughly enjoyed the experience. She loved Claudio’s energy and enthusiasm and appreciated learning about Roman history in such an interactive and engaging way. Claudio truly made the experience memorable with his passion, humor, and encouragement. We would absolutely recommend this experience to families, history lovers, or anyone looking for a unique and entertaining activity in Rome!
