Overview

Ancient Roman ruins can lose younger travelers fast, especially when standard tours focus on architectural detail and dense political history. This private family tour pitches the commentary for kids, with an archaeologist guide telling tales of gladiators and emperors at the Colosseum and Roman Forum, so children stay engaged, and parents get the historical context at the same time.

Fabulous family-friendly tour!

Victoria_M, Aug 2022

This tour was the absolute highlight of our visit to Rome and we'd thoroughly recommend it, particularly to families. We have two young daughters (six and ten) and our guide Bruno was expert at engaging with them and telling the Colosseum story in a fun, interactive way. Bruno was energetic, friendly, extremely knowledgeable and interacted both with the kids and the adults with ease. His English is excellent (our group was all English speaking) and his sense of humour infectious! He even spent his own time after the tour making restaurant recommendations and sending links to interested group members. In terms of duration the tour is just the right length, any more and the kids would have lost interest I think. Excellent unforgettable experience...thank you!
