Itinerary

  • Colosseum

    Meet your guide near the Colosseum to begin a fun-filled 2.5 hours learning about ancient Rome. This special tour of the ruins of ancient Rome will take you and your family through the magnificent highlights of the ancient city of Rome. Gain access to the Colosseum, known as the most old and grandest amphitheater of the Roman Empire.

    1 hour 30 minutes

  • Arco di Tito

    You will learn about the full-blooded gladiators (actually slaves) that fought brave battles against one another or they’d fight ferocious animals (which were imported from all around the world to entertain the mesmerized crowd) to save their own lives. These were the best gladiators who came to Rome to put their lives on the line to fight for the ultimate prize – a chance for their freedom.

    10 minutes

  • Foro Romano

    After closing your gasped expressions from viewing the Colosseum you will wander over to the Roman Forum and stroll along the ancient and cobbled streets to learn about the life of the early Romans. Not only will you see the mystical ruins of the Emperor’s Palace, the Arch of Titus and ancient temples, you will gaze over important political buildings from the time of the great Roman Empire.

    30 minutes

  • Basilica of Maxentius

    The best thing about this tour and out of any other tours in Rome is the fact that it’s a favorite tour to entice kids into the midst of Roman history, something that is very important. The tour is fully outdoors and the itinerary and stories they’ll learn are really exciting and it’s perfectly okay if they touch things. As with any ruins there are boundaries to be respected however being outdoors is better than being inside a busy and packed boundary lined museum as there are fewer restrictions - they can explore and imagine about more interesting places.

    10 minutes

  • Raphael Tours in Rome (Pass By)

    Raphael Tours and Events

  • Tempio di Antonino e Faustina

    This fun walking tour lasts 2.5 hours and you can take this tour any day of the week, with the exception of certain major holidays. The entrance ticket you’ll get is good for two days meaning you can return again later if you wanted after the tour has completed. It is recommended that you make reservations well in advance with this tour as schedules fill quickly and last minute tours will not always be available.

Families - Ask for Donato!

Published on Jan, 2025

We loved this tour. Had 7 adults and 5 kids (ages 8 through 12). Our tour guide, Donato, was absolutely wonderful! I highly recommend him for families, it was just incredible. We never lost the attention of any of the kids throughout the entire tour, but he still managed also to include important historical information for all of us. He made learning fun for the kids (and adults, I must say). Can't say enough good things about his abilities.

Fantastic experience - ask for Katya!

Published on Jan, 2025

Wonderful experience - Katya was our guide and she did such a great job keeping our hyperactive 6 year old and 7 year old engaged! She showed us different spots we hadn’t seen before and in the forum taught us all to play a Roman game using the ruins. She had lots of interesting facts that the adults enjoyed, too! Five stars for this tour, mainly because Katya was so outstanding!

Great tour for the whole family

Published on Dec, 2024

Very knowledgeable and entertaining guide. Although it was geared for kids, it was great for our whole family. Learned a lot.

Excellent tour for families with kids/teens!

Published on Dec, 2024

Highly Recommend! Julia was a fantastic guide. Excellent material for the kids too. She is great with families! One of the highlights of our trip!

Don’t miss this tour if you have children!

Published on Dec, 2024

This was an absolutely fantastic tour! Our guide Marco could not have made this more memorable or informative and our children (who were not too keen on tours!) had a great time! 5 Stars!! Thank you Marco!
