Rome with Children

Although all ours tours can be adapted to be more enjoyable for children, we've prepared this special full-day tour to appeal to the whole family.

Itinerary

Start the day with a visit to the Colosseum, one of the most famous monuments in the world. Then, in order to optimize the time, you can take a cab to Saint Peter's Square. This is the entry to Saint Peter's Basilica, and was designed by Bernini, the genius of the Baroque. The square offers a memorable trick of perspective, whereby if you stand in a certain point many of the columns seem to disappear.

A short walk will lead you to Castel Sant'Angelo, a medieval fortress built over the first century mausoleum of Hadrian. The popes took refuge in this fortress during the time of the barbarian invasions of Rome. Here the charm of the Middle Ages is preserved in a setting that is both beautiful and fascinating.

Walk to the nearby Piazza Navona, with the beautiful baroque fountains by Bernini. Here you can have a brief break for lunch, and it's a good spot for a gelato too!

After lunch you will enter the Pantheon, the best conserved temple of the ancient Rome, dating back the second century, with its incredible huge dome.

Next you will visit Sant'Ignazio, a beautiful Baroque church, whose ceiling is an optical illusion created by a master of perspective, Andrea Pozzo. This will astonish the whole family.

The tour will end at the Trevi Fountain, where everybody will enjoy throwing a coin in the water to guarantee a return to Rome.

Duration: 7 hours

Booking

Not far from the fountain is a specific attraction for children: the Time Elevator that describes 3000 years of Roman history, from Romulus and Remus to the present, in an entertaining and educational format. The special effects include a moving seat, and the show lasts for 45 minutes. It's popular with younger children, so you might want to ask the guide to show you where it is.
