Great with the kids and they thought it was really fun. Just the right amount of information and time for this tour .

Great tour for the kids and us!

Tom our guide was very knowledgeable and as an archaeologist he was clearly very passionate about the Colosseum and Ancient Rome. He entertained the kids with a lot of engagement, stories and quizzes and was also able to share many interesting factoids about the site with us the adults. He brought with him a tablet with pictures, 3D renditions and images of artefacts which help us visualize how a ruin or temple used to look like in its original glory and show us how archaeologists can know how things used to be. That was very educational and fun. I will strongly recommend this tour to anyone.

Better than expected!

A bucket list item to visit the colosseum but made even better because our guide made it fun and exciting for our 3 and 5 year old kids! Thank you!!

Perfect tour for kids

Our tour guide Francesco was amazing. He entertained our kids with great stories and answered every question they asked. The way he engaged the kids made the tour a wonderful journey through time. Especially our 12 year old was hanging on every word he said and later remarked that this was the best experience of our entire Italian holiday. Highly recommended!
