What are people saying about Rome

Patrick_P, Jun 2026

Gladiator school

We had a very good time at the gladiator school. This was a break from the architecture and history that gave the kids something fun to do. The instructor was very good. He kept the smallest kids to the oldest adults engaged. A good time was had by all. The only suggestion is that you might book a cab to ensure you are on time. We had the 9:00 class and the traffic was brutal getting out of downtime.

Pizza & Gelato Cooking Class in Rome, Hands-On Italian Experience

Danielle_G, Jun 2026

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!!

Rome: Pizza and Tiramisu Cooking Class near the Colosseum

Kate_H, Jun 2026

Such a fun class!

This class was so much fun! We were traveling with teen daughters, one of whom loves to cook and the other who wants us to think she hates everything we plan. We were a few minutes late because our uber canceled and I thought maybe we wouldn’t be able to do the class, but they were very nice to wait for us and my daughter who wasn’t at all excited said 5 minutes in “it would have been so sad if we missed this!” Gaia was such a fun and patient host… had no problem letting my husband make a new pizza when his original didn’t work out. All the food was delicious and I’m being honest when I say the pizzas were probably the best we’ve eaten in Rome! Everyone left happy and full!

Rome Sights by Segway Tour

Victoria_K, May 2026

Fun tour

This was my first time on a Segway, but we were given time to “learn the ropes.” It was fun, though sometimes a little scary, zipping around the streets of Rome. Our guide Shula, was knowledgeable as well as quite patient with us. We had a wonderful time!

We had limited time in Rome and this is the way to go if you are alittle tired of walking!! He took some pictures of our group but I have not found them!! 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. He took us to some hidden gems and places to revisit when we have the time. Thank you Spin10!!

Colosseum Forum Ancient Rome Small Group Tour for Kids Families

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.

The Three Tenors in Rome - Nessun Dorma

Wayne_B, Oct 2025

Oh, What a Night

To be sitting in a beautiful 150yr old church in Rome, enjoying the performance of Three Tenors, a ballerina and exceptional musicians was more than I imagined it would be. Each performance seemed to play on different emotions. Very happy that we took a second look at this when going through the many events on the Viator site and reserved our evening!

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!

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!
