Description

Who said that history is not fun? Discovering Ancient Rome can be both fun and educational. With our Ancient Rome Tour for kids you will have a child-friendly professional guide, who will use all their expertise and overlay books or iPads with tridimensional programs to entertain the children.

With our pre-purchased access and the chance to tour at your own pace, your kids won’t grow restless, as can happen during the longer adult tours. They will have fun and get curious, asking lots of questions to their guide. All our child-friendly guides are selected among professionals who are able to engage with kids of different ages and make them fall in love with history!

Everybody in the family will learn about Gladiator combats, Roman emperors, Senators, Pagan Gods and Roman mythology. During this tour you will hit the three most important buildings of Ancient Rome: not only will you visit the first and second level of the Colosseum, but you will also explore the archaeological areas of the Roman Forum and Palatine Hill. Your guide will lead you along the cobbled pathways of the Roman Forum, where once Romans led their daily, public life. Your guide will have you hanging on their every words, while they describe the ruins of temples, arches, buildings and shrines that are still visible today! You will also go up to the Palatine Hill, one of the seven hills of Rome, where Emperors once had their residences built. That was no coincidence: a wonderful view over the city of Rome can be admired from here! Take in the panorama and snap a family shot with Rome in the background!

Roman Forum

Step off the modern street and into the Roman Forum—the literal and symbolic heart of the most powerful empire the world has ever known. This sprawling valley, nestled between the Capitoline and Palatine Hills, was the epicenter of Roman political, religious, judicial, and commercial life for over a thousand years. Wander among the majestic ruins and you are walking in the footsteps of emperors, senators, orators, and citizens who shaped Western civilization.

Palatine Hill

Ascend the Palatine Hill, the most central of Rome’s seven hills and stand on the legendary birthplace of the city itself—where Romulus is said to have founded Rome. This elevated site offers breathtaking, panoramic views over the entire Roman Forum and the Circus Maximus. Once the exclusive neighborhood of emperors and the Roman elite, you can wander through the monumental ruins of vast imperial palaces. Experience the peaceful, green grounds where history and myth converge, looking down upon the empire that sprung from this very spot.
