What are people saying about Rome

Rome Sights by Segway Tour

Robert_C, Apr 2026

Segway Fun in Rome!

We had a great Segway tour in Rome. The weather was beautiful and our tour guide Evelina was delightful. She was so knowledgeable and very passionate about sharing her knowledge. She also had a great sense of humor and a nice pacing to make the tour very memorable. We give this tour eleven out of ten stars!

Roman Gladiator School: Learn How to Become a Gladiator

Grace_D, Apr 2026

Fun, hands-on experience to pair with a visit to the Colosseum!

Our kids (ages 9,12) enjoyed battling other trainees and each other "to the death" in the arena after some time training with our informative instructor! This was a fun way for the kids to get their energy out and learn about gladiators before soaking in an afternoon at the Colosseum. I do think this experience is best suited for kids ages 12 and under although there were some parents participating with their kids! Everyone had fun!

Marilyn_T, Jan 2026

Small group - worth every cent!

Booking a small group tour turned out to be the best way to experience the Colosseum and the Forum. Martina turned up and straight away engaged with our 11 year old son and answered every single question. She was a wonderful tour guide and we very much enjoyed our visit to this wonderful place.

Perfect family cooking class in Rome!

We had the best time at this cooking class in Rome! The chef was so kind and patient with my three young children. She let them be completely hands on and it was so cool making pizza from scratch! Not to mention eating our pizzas and tiramisu for lunch. The class included soft drinks and waters for the kids! Wine and prosecco for the adults!!! It was sooooo perfect and an unforgettable memory of our vacation! Thank you to this amazing team!

Highly recommended for kids

We had a private tour with Roberta. We all loved it. It was very informative and the perfect amount of time for my girls aged 10 and 12. Roberta was fantastic, she kept the girls entertained and explained things very well. My kids really bonded well with her and made sure I completed this review. Thanks Roberta from Sophie and Micaela from Australia!

Rome: Evening Golf Cart Semi or Private Tour with Aperitivo

Kelly_R, Sep 2025

Wonderful tour showing the history of Roma!

We only had this one evening to spend in Rome. We could not have picked a better tour than this one. Paula was a fount of information that covered more than 2,000 years of history, and where to go to see things at the best vantage point. This was not just the best known places, although it included them, but the little known places that were a treasure as well. If you are interested in seeing Rome and the history it includes, Paula should be your guide.

Colosseum tour with Sarah

Sarah was a lovely guide kept the kids entertained and engaged and helped us manage the 39 degree day by pointing out water fountains and finding shade to rest in. The kids loved her questions and asked plenty of their own which Sarah answered with kindness and patience. We remember so much from tour- we definitely learnt a lot - but we also had a fun day which wasn’t guaranteed given the heat! Our kids are 7,10 and 12 and for this age group, the private tour was fantastic!

Skip the Line Vatican and Sistine Chapel Tour for Kids and Family

Chandan_J, Jul 2025

Excellent guide and skip the line tickets are great!

Very knowledgable and friendly guide helped us get much more out of our time - and kept our 10-yr old daughter engaged throughout the process! Skip the line tickets are very useful since there is an incredibly long line otherwise. One thing I didn't realize is that this ticket is for Vatican only and does not cover St. Peter's Basilica for which there is a separate queue, and we didn't have skip the line tickets for it since we didn't know about this separation. This was somewhat disappointing, and it would have been good if this were clearer.

Semi Private Guided Tour of the Colosseum & Forums for Kids & Families in Rome

Jodi_L, Jul 2025

Great, Family-Friendly Colosseum Tour – Highly Recommend!

This was a great tour — very well organized and extremely family-friendly! We toured the Colosseum with our three kids (ages 5, 8, and 10), and it was engaging and enjoyable for all of us. The guide was knowledgeable and made the history come alive in a way that kept both adults and kids interested. Everything was easy from start to finish, and we appreciated the thoughtful pacing and kid-friendly explanations throughout. Highly recommend this tour to families visiting Rome!
