1.Colosseum and Roman Forum Tour for Kids and Families

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 446 reviews · 2 hours 30 minutes (approx.) · from $194Our pick

Family-friendly Colosseum and Roman Forum tour in Rome with an English guide, kids’ games, and skip-the-stress entry for 2.5 hours.

“Our family of 5 first visit to the Colosseo & Roman Forum and it was amazing experience made even better by our personal tour guide Maria. She was easygoing and always made sure we were going at comfortable pace for us. We never felt rushed and she did a great job keeping us interested and also she did her best to keep my daughter (7) engaged and involved. Unfortunately, my daughter wasn’t feeling well or maybe jet lagged or maybe she is 7 and doesn’t understand and appreciate what it is she is getting to see. Which is fine. I’m pretty confident it’s the latter. LOL. Whatever the case Maria…”

“We had a fantastic experience with this company and Rosella! Our tour was unfortunately delayed by a different tour (booked through Viator) which went 2 hours past time, out of our control. The company was wonderful! Instead of delaying or cancelling our tour, they last minute were able to offer us a private experience and tailored it to our kids attitudes and needs. Prior to meeting up with our guide, our kids were exhausted, hot, and quite frankly out of energy for tourism after a long day. Immediately she engaged them in a way that transformed their entire attitude. She also planned the visit through the Colosseum to keep them…”

Private kid-friendly Colosseum and Roman Forum tour with reserved entry, family games, and a tailored guide for families in Rome.

“Sarah was a lovely guide kept the kids entertained and engaged and helped us manage the 39 degree day by pointing out water fountains and finding shade to rest in. The kids loved her questions and asked plenty of their own which Sarah answered with kindness and patience. We remember so much from tour- we definitely learnt a lot - but we also had a fun day which wasn’t guaranteed given the heat! Our kids are 7,10 and 12 and for this age group, the private tour was fantastic!”
