Reviews for Skip-the-Line Family Colosseum & Roman Forum Tour with Kid-Friendly Activities
Fabulous tour for kids, perfect to introduce them to ancient Rome
MummyTravels
What a fantastic tour! I really wanted a family-friendly option to bring the Colosseum and Forum to life for my 7yo and I don't think I could have done better than choose this tour with Simona - she turned everything into a game (quite literally with points for spotting different things, getting answers correct and finally a prize at the end) and while nothing was dumbed down, she made sure that it was all on the right level for the kids to understand, very engaging and very fun.
There's a big different between a tour guide who wants to lead family tours and one who carries out a standard tour with kids tagging along - I've done enough of the latter to know what a fabulous guide Simona was, and definitely one of the former. It would have been lovely to have had a bit longer with her in the Forum, but as we had already spend slightly more than the planned 2 1/2 hours (mostly in and around the Colosseum), I think it would have been too much for the kids to make it longer and I'd have hated to miss any of the Colosseum.
In February the queues weren't too long but getting to skip through in the group entrances with her was still a definite bonus, and in busier months, it would make a huge difference with younger ones. I can't recommend her enough and would definitely book a tour again if we go back to Rome.
Great Tour with Simona

Our family of three, including our nine year old daughter, had a lovely time with Simona. She was very fun and engaging for our daughter and was packed full of information! She really made seeing the Colosseum interesting and the scavenger hunt was a big hit with our little girl!
Our only complaint was that the voucher clearly states that the tour leaves promptly. We waited for 20+ minutes for a family that never showed. It would've been one thing if the family had called and they were coming in a few moments, but to make us wait (when we'd planned carefully and arrived early out of respect for our guide and any other tour participants) was very rude. Every moment of vacation time is precious and we should've left promptly as promised.
Despite that, we had a great time on, what turned out to be, our private tour! Simona was so kind and offered to take family photos for us which we may not have had otherwise! We would absolutely book with Simona again!
