Colosseum & Forum kid friendly Tour

Andrea_L, Jun 2019

Christina was our guide and she was fantastic! She kept the 5 children engaged on this tour the whole time... playing games and telling stories. Wish we had more time with her. Highly recommend!

Mitchell P, Jul 2018

We got super lucky, no one else had booked at the same time so we ended up with a private tour of the Colosseum and Roman Forum. Our guide Brian was fantastic and truly represented for us the history behind the experience of attending an event during the height of the Roman Empire. We did have a hard time finding the tourist info meeting point, however, but the operator called me on my cell and helped guide us to where we needed to be.

Really good experience. Our guide Christina had a degree in archeology and knew her topic really well. Also answered lots of Rome related questions. Small group of 8, no headset required and all the better for it. Colosseum itself is stunning, as is the Forum Definitely a highlight of the holiday

Guide Anthony - tour rushed. Did not take elderly patrons into consideration in terms of mobility. Audio equipment not provided. Tour far from enjoyable. His knowledge was questionable. We left tour to continue on our own. I had been there previous month..Far superior tour provided by other guide.

Nicholas F, Oct 2016

Excellent tour. We were in a small group of 12 plus our guide Fredericka, who was first class in every way. She was extremely knowledgeable and very interesting. The tour was conducted at the right pace for the Group and everyone appeared to really enjoy the experience. Sean, who assisted in the admin of the tour even sprinted off to get us some water before we went into the Forum. Would I recommend - yes definitely.

Tour guide Mario and his crew were welcoming and well organised. They are all true ambassadors for Rome ( though not all local) and help make you feel you're in good hands. Mario's ability to bring the history alive in front of you helped summarise centuries. Book them today!

Very enjoyable tour. Our guide Mario...

Susan_G, Jun 2016

Very enjoyable tour. Our guide Mario was extremely knowledgeable and entertaining. Also very gracious to Mum who at almost 80 was slow walker at times. More forum than Colosseum.
