What are people saying about Rome

Eduardo_G, Jul 2026

Swimming in Ponza

This experience was one of the biggest highlights of our Italy trip. We were feeling a little overwhelmed by the summer heat in Rome and needed a break from sightseeing, so this tour was exactly what we needed. The day starts early with a bus ride to Anzio, followed by a ferry to Ponza. Once you arrive, you join your group and board a smaller boat for a tour around the island. Throughout the day, you stop several times in beautiful blue waters where you can swim and relax. Ponza is incredibly scenic, with views that feel like they belong in a movie. This tour is ideal for anyone looking to spend plenty of time on the water. It is not really designed for exploring the island on foot or spending much time shopping, so keep that in mind when booking. Mara was our host, and she was amazing. She kept track of everyone in the group, shared interesting local history and information about the areas we visited, and was simply a great person to experience the island with. Be sure to bring your own towel, plenty of sunscreen, and motion-sickness medication if you tend to feel unwell after spending extended time on a boat. Overall, this was a great experience and a much-needed escape from the heat and crowds of Rome. We would absolutely recommend it.

Roman Gladiator School: Learn How to Become a Gladiator

Meghan_M, Jul 2026

Lots of fun

Our Roman trainer was Evan/Ivan…he was great!! He had all engaged; adults and kids. His English was great and did a fantastic job sharing some Roman gladiator history and innovations. The training was fun for all and learning the techniques was fun! He had the moms be the queens during the “battle” and the kids loved performing for us. Do this with your kids and have a blast

Colosseum Forum Ancient Rome Small Group Tour for Kids Families

Monica_C, Jul 2026

Great kid friendly tour of the Colosseum

Great tour by Francesco-we had a group of 7 in total with 3 kids who were all similar ages and bonded with the other family on the tour. Francesco kept the kids engaged and built in time for toilets and snacks, which is important when traveling with kids. Francesco has kids of his own and inherently understood what kids are interested in and showed renderings of what the colosseum would have looked like in ancient times. I would highly recommend this tour when visiting Rome.

Great tour guide

Was a great start the tour guide was lovely so informative and I felt safe on the Segway but 15 mins into the tour we got pulled over by the police!! Who were extremely rude…. The tour guide dealt with the situation very well but unfortunately our tour came to an end ! We received a full refund no questions asked. Was such a shame as felt this would have been amazing….. very professional.

Serena_M, Jun 2026

Class was great, loved Sunny

The class (and especially Sunny) was amazing!!! My kids (8 and 11) had such a great time, the class was fun for all of us, adults included. Pizza and tiramisu were not only fun to make but actually tasted good! As a nice bonus, it was SO hot and this was such a welcome reprieve from the heat, AC was blasting and perfect.

We loved making pizza with Mattia!!

Our family of four, including two girls ages 11 and 8, really enjoyed our pizza and gelato making experience. Mattia was a wonderful teacher - he walked us through and explained each step with such knowledge and patience, and was very sweet with the kids. The food itself was delicious and to know we made it ourselves enhanced the experience even more. Highly recommend!!

Pompeii & Amalfi Coast Day Trip w/ Positano or Sorrento from Rome

Dan_E, Jun 2026

A long day but some amazing sights.

You are in for a long day, but also a cool experience. You will spend more time in the bus then you do walking, but the Amalfi coast is beautiful. It is also very crowded. You have about 90 minutes to explore and grab lunch on your own. Our guide, Mario gave us some great tips. From there, we went back to Pompei where we had an amazing tour. Be prepared for a lot of walking on uneven surface, so be honest with yourself before you sign up so you don't hold up the group. They do make a couple stops for rest room breaks and limited snacks but you might want to pack a few snacks of your own as you will be out for about 13 hours.

Family-Friendly Vatican Tour for Kids with Sistine Chapel

Jessica_W, May 2026

Claudia was incredible!

Claudia was a phenomenal tour guide with our family (5 people, kids 2 and 3, parents and Grandma). The day wouldn't have been the same without her. She's been doing tours for at least 10 years and knew exactly how to navigate the Vatican with ease and history behind everything we asked about. She kept our 2 and 3 year old interested with a scavenger hunt, even though the tour is recommended for kids ages 6 +. The Sistine chapel was beautiful and we were able to pray with the kids. We did not do Peter's Basilica due to the line and ages of our kids, but ending in the square is an easy way to get souvenirs and eat lunch in town. Thanks Claudia!

My phone was dead so maybe they did not send yet?? Spin please send pictures again if you see this!! St. Ignatious Loyola was a surprise and breathtaking.

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!
