Itinerary
This is a typical itinerary for this product

Stop At: Colosseum, Piazza del Colosseo, 00184 Rome Italy

Meet your guide near the Colosseum to begin a fun-filled 2.5 hours learning about ancient Rome.

This special tour of the ruins of ancient Rome will take you and your family through the magnificent highlights of the ancient city of Rome. Skip the lines and gain quick access to see the interior of the Colosseum, known as the most old and grandest amphitheater of the Roman Empire.

Duration: 1 hour 30 minutes

Stop At: Arco di Tito, Via Sacra 1, 00186 Rome Italy

You will learn about the full-blooded gladiators (actually slaves) that fought brave battles against one another or they’d fight ferocious animals (which were imported from all around the world to entertain the mesmerized crowd) to save their own lives. These were the best gladiators who came to Rome to put their lives on the line to fight for the ultimate prize – a chance for their freedom.


Duration: 10 minutes

Stop At: Roman Forum, Largo della Salara Vecchia 5/6, 00186 Rome Italy

After closing your gasped expressions from viewing the Colosseum you will wander over to the Roman Forum and stroll along the ancient and cobbled streets to learn about the life of the early Romans. Not only will you see the mystical ruins of the Emperor’s Palace, the Arch of Titus and ancient temples, you will gaze over important political buildings from the time of the great Roman Empire.

Duration: 30 minutes

Stop At: Basilica of Maxentius, Via Sacra 1 Clivo di Venere Felice, 00186 Rome Italy

The best thing about this tour and out of any other tours in Rome is the fact that it’s a favorite tour to entice kids into the midst of Roman history, something that is very important. The tour is fully outdoors and the itinerary and stories they’ll learn are really exciting and it’s perfectly okay if they touch things. As with any ruins there are boundaries to be respected however being outdoors is better than being inside a busy and packed boundary lined museum as there are fewer restrictions - they can explore and imagine about more interesting places.


Duration: 10 minutes

Pass By: Raphael Tours in Rome, 00165 Rome Italy

Raphael Tours and Events

Stop At: Tempio di Antonino e Faustina, Via Sacra Foro Romano, 00184 Rome Italy

We had Donato as a tour guide. He was amazing with our kids, 8 years and 10 years. He was friendly, funny, informative with captivating stories and games, all just came along very naturally from him. Time flew by while 2 hours at the colosseum and forum with lots of walking, kids didn’t complain once.

Our guide, Manuela, engaged well with the kids and the adults. She made the experience fun, asked the children questions, and even got my very shy daughter to participate. She even took photos of us and the other family which I’m sure isn’t the fun part of her job. I greatly recommend this tour, even if you don’t have small kids, as the other tour groups were too large and I could tell it was harder to keep up. This tour will not take you down to the basement which I really wanted to see, but it was fun nonetheless. You won’t regret it.

An absolutely brilliant tour, and probably the highlight of our trip to Rome. Marco was a fantastic guide - extremely knowledgeable and was fully engaged in entertaining us, and particularly our two boys, for the full three hours. We learned so much and it was a great way to start our trip to Rome. Marco really knew how to keep our sons (age 9 and 11) interested too. I can’t recommend this enough.

Our guide Allesandra was great! She kept the kids entertained the whole time while they learned a ton about the Colosseum, as did the adults. The kids loved the interactive games, relay race, and keeping score with their clicker. We had a great time and the tour flew by! It was a blast! Thank you for all!

Sara was amazing! She made it interesting for our teenagers and for us. She was extremely knowledgeable, and her background in archaeology made our tour even more special.
