Plus, as a private tour, there's the flexibility to make it just perfect for your family!

You'll explore the highlights of the Colosseum's first and second level, hearing stories and fun facts about the arena along the way. Let your guide keep the kids engaged so you can really take in the majesty of the famous Colosseum!

You'll also visit a sacred garden and discover how Roman's used to spend their free time in the city, all while your children are pointing out the remaining treasures on the map. The storytelling and treasure hunt will come to an end inside the Roman Forum. 

Win a Prize

Instead of just listening to a guide, the kids are looking, searching, and answering questions, while you can enjoy the archaeological sites and the stories from the guide. At the end of the tour, each child will receive a little prize to reward them for completing the treasure hunt, and to remind them of their Ancient Roman adventure!

Don't forget your camera! There will be plenty of opportunities for you to stop and take photos throughout! Remember to ask your guide to take some photos of your family together so you have a keep sake of the time your family conquered the Colosseum.

Wonderful!

Marina was great. She did a great job. Didn’t hurry , allowed us time as needed . It was a wonderful experience walking around the colosseum and the forum. And she also took great pictures of us. The other private tour we took, the guide just hurried us quite a bit.
