What are people saying about Rome

Roman Gladiator School: Learn How to Become a Gladiator

Christopher_B, Jun 2026

What a fun activity

What a fun time for a family with kids. You get some education first and then the kids start to work out. Then sword training and gladiatorial fights. The trainer was excellent and made it a great experience. Staff was helpful and made my kids feel special.

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!

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!!

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!

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!
