Private Family-Friendly Rome Colosseum & Roman Forum Tour

Very Informative But Not Child Oriented

We were contracted out to another tour guide rather than someone through The Tour Guy. We were at our meeting place on time but our guide was late however the company was very great at letting us know that someone was still on their way. The tour guide seemed surprised that it was a private tour with children so there was no preparation to orient the tour towards our children’s interests unlike how the tour was advertised. That being said, the guide was was very informative and as an adult I really enjoyed his relaying of the history of the Colosseum. Unfortunately, our 5 and 8 year old lost interest pretty quickly.

Claudia was FANTASTIC - 10/10

Claudia greeted us and immediately hit it off with my two boys (ages 6 and 8). She went with the flow of what they were interested in and kept up with their energy and truly catered the tour to exactly what they wanted and she thought would be the most engaging for them. I've done the Vatican tour several times and I learned all new things with Claudia as our guide. And...at the end of the tour, she gave them a bag full of little goodies to remember the tour and it ended up being one of their favorite things to take home. She was AMAZING. When we return, I will specifically ask for her.

Wonderful tour!

Valerie was a wonderful tour guide! She was very engaging and patient with our 4 year old and allowed us to tour at our own pace with our young children. She was extremely knowledgeable and we learned a lot! She was punctual and it was easy to find the meeting spot. Would definitely recommend!

Best thing i have done with kids in Rome

Our guide Maria was amazing with my children, 8 and 11. They were engaged all the time, very interested in everything she said. I would definitely recommend this tour.

Amazing Family Tour

Our tour guide Anna was awesome. We were a few minutes late to the meeting point and she reached out and waited for us to arrive. When we got there she met us with a smile, which I really appreciated. It was an insanely hot August day (approx. 100 degrees Fahrenheit) and she did her best to find us cool(ish)/shaded spots to chat as we made our way through the Colosseum. We loved that we had virtually zero wait time in lines and Anna was great with the kids which made the experience much more enjoyable. Anna even stopped into the gift shop to get us a bottle of water when we really needed it and the kids got to leave with a book for a prize which they both thought was awesome. I absolutely recommend "The Tour Guy" and especially the "Private Family Colosseum & Roman Forum Tour" to anyone with kids.

Wonderful!

This tour was great for adults and kids! We had Ana as our guide and she was very nice knowledgeable. She had lots of pictures to help compare what it looked like before and now. The kids loved the scavenger hunt and prize. Everything was amazing to see! We would definitely recommend to others!

Perfect for my girls

My wife and I really wanted to see the Colosseum (how can you go to Rome and not see it?!), but we have two young girls. We knew that they wouldn't have the patience to do a normal tour, so we decided to try this out. It was perfect! Our guide was so funny and engaging with the girls and I found myself just as interested in the treasure hunt as them. I would really recommend this tour for young families. My wife and I learned a lot, the girls had fun, so everyone was happy! Thanks!

Best family tour

We decided to book this to keep our kids entertained because we know how much they hate sightseeing. The scavenger hunt worked like a charm! My oldest loves gladiators so this was a dream come true. Thank you to the Roman guy! We will be back.

Great for kids

I wasn't sure this would be worth it compared to the regular group Colosseum tour, but it was so fantastic for my kiddos. Normally they'd find this kind of thing boring, but the guide kept them engaged and entertained! Great for all ages, fantastic tour.

Family Friendly

I was going to book the standard group colosseum tour, but after chatting with a travel expert, they helped me pick this tour which turned out to be perfect for our large family. The little ones were occupied with the scavenger hunt! Thanks!

My kids Had a Great Time!

Loved the treasure hunt! Finally a tour that is fit for kids and not boring!

Definitely Kid Friendly

Great way to see Rome and enjoy family time! Great for kids!

Family Friendly tour of Colosseum

Our guide Anna was amazing. She did a wonderful job bringing the area to life and engaging two jet lagged kids. Anna used some of her own books and visual aids that helped us see the area in a much more vivid way. Time passed quickly. Never bored. Kept us moving. Thank you Anna and the Roman Guy.

Private Family Rome Tour and "Pre-Opening" Vatican Tours were Awesome!

First of, great pre-tour service. Very quick at getting back to you on questions. We ended up booking the private family rome tour and the "pre-opening" vatican tour. The family tour was structured as a "Treasure Hunt." Our tour guide did a REALLY good job engaging our children. It was really hot that day and even then the kids did not complain. The information was interesting and we had a good time. The "Pre-Opening" Vatican tour is a MUST. You need to get up early but it is totally worth it!!! When we got to the Sistine Chapel, there were maybe 30 - 40 people in there (which is REALLY low). It was so peaceful and not crowded; easily walking around to see the ceiling. It was a great way to take in Michelangelo's masterpiece. Highly recommended!!

Great Tour for Kids

We booked the kids tour of the Coliseum and Roman Forum, and it was a big hit with our young son. We were concerned that he couldn't stay engaged for a tour, but our guide, Laura, was outstanding! She brought expert knowledge of the sites, but was able to connect with our son too. We were impressed! The treasure hunt through the sites was the highlight of his trip. Days later, he's still excited about it. We had wondered if the tour would be worth the money, and believe me, it was!
