Overview

Adult-focused Colosseum tours move at a pace and content level that younger travelers quickly disengage from—and managing bored kids through a large archaeological site is a challenge most parents would rather avoid. This private family tour covers the Colosseum and Roman Forum with a guide who tailors the storytelling to children, covering gladiatorial battles and political intrigue.

Best family & small group tour

Karen_E, Mar 2025

Cannot recommend this tour enough!! Perfect for my family, with many stops and kid-friendly explanations and experiences. Our tour guide was outstanding, you can tell he has enthusiasm and extensive knowledge. Our tour was so high quality that another person on a tour *literally* stopped our guide to ask if he could join our group (not joking- the guide handled it by very kindly declining.) I’ve unfortunately forgotten his name or I’d give him a shout out and 400 stars!
