The Best Family-Friendly Colosseum Tour

Exploring one of the new seven wonders of the world means we can’t waste any time getting started! Your guide will meet you outside the Colosseum and allow you to skip the line as you get fast-tracked into the world-famous Colosseum.

Here you will learn all about the famous Gladiator games, where the combatants battled each other, and sometimes even faced off against vicious exotic animals like lions and tigers, in order to have a chance at freedom!

Kids will revel in the engaging storytelling that features the incredible true stories of the men and women (and Gladiators of course!) who became legends in the famous structure. Be enthralled as your guide dramatically reveals the role this incredible monument played in the fascinating political games at the heart of Ancient Roman society.

Our family-friendly tour is fun for all as we will see history come alive using a 3D book while we work our way through the Colosseum.

Wonderfully planned and executed 10 day vacation across Italy. Great travel planning! After a friend recommended Travel by Luxe, we used their company to book a 9 day tour around Italy. We started with three days in Rome across a very rainy Christmas, then we were driven south for a quick day tour of the Amalfi coast and a night in Sorrento. The following day we saw Pompeii in the morning, had Pizza in Naples for lunch, and took the rapid train to Venice. Two fabulous days in Venice were followed by a day in Florence, then back to Rome by train for one more day, and then home. We had a fabulous time. Marta of Travel by Luxe proposed itineraries based on what we told her of our interests. We had private tours everywhere. She booked fabulous hotels for us - the rates were ok and we got upgraded in rooms at least a couple of times, as it was off season and the pandemic was still going strong. The tour guides were superb in Rome, Pompeii, Florence and especially Venice, where Giorgia Stainer was our guide for two days on the streets and waterways of Venice and Murano and Burano. All of the guides were knowledgeable and fun to talk to - about art, architecture, ruins, and food, for example. We had walking tours with nice lunches in Rome, Venice and Florence. No detail was unattended to. Transfers from airports, train stations, hotels, and the tourist sites were all right on time and very nice. Exceptional high points included Pompeii, the Vatican Museums and Sistine Chapel, the Colosseum, a trip to the glass making factory, New Murano Gallery, near Venice, and all of the amazing art in Florence. Christmas Lunch in Rome and traditional foods in every city were standouts as well. This experience was a solid “5” on the five point scale. If I could rate it a “6” I probably would.

Part 2 of Our Colosseum Tour For Kids – Basilica of San Clemente

If the children haven’t had all the fun they can handle for the day at the Colosseum, then we have even more intrigue in store for them as we take a short walk to begin an exciting tour of the Basilica of San Clemente, known as the “layer church” to find out how excavation after excavation revealed each layer underneath it.

This 12th-century church starts at street level; however, your guide will then take you down deeper and deeper as you descend down the various layers, dating back centuries as you go further into the earth.

On the final level will find a surprise waiting for us with a 1st-century Roman dwelling. Kids will love the closest thing to time-travel that the modern-day world can offer while you enjoy the sensation of traversing centuries in one day!

What Makes Our Colosseum Tour So Family-Friendly?

The Colosseum is an incredible sight, but the best way for kids to really visualize the scale and importance of this iconic and historic landmark is to have the past brought to life by an enthusiastic, passionate, and experienced private guide.

Our guides have worked with kids of all ages, from toddlers all the way up to late teens, and have a keen understanding of how to tailor the tour to the group’s taste and to every child’s level.
