Private Family Experience | Colosseum Tour for Kids Reviews

My granddaughters review (10)

I think everyone in the world should see the colosseum. Francesco was fun and funny and told us a lot of details of the stories. I liked how I got to do activities and got prizes for them. I liked how we could go into areas that other people could not. My mom and dad kept saying how he was really good and interacted with me. (now this is grandfather talking) My daughter said this was the best tour of the entire trip.

Great with Kids

We booked two Liv kids tours in Rome, this and the Vatican, and can happily say that the Colosseum tour was very much worth it. Our guide Rebecca was from the UK, but has been doing these tours for 12 years and it showed. She was excellent with keeping our 4 and 6 yr old engaged and excited about what they were seeing and giving them activities to do while we could enjoy our time. She was great at getting the best pictures and guiding us to the best spots while dealing with other tourists in the way on our behalf. You could spend all day here, but she did a great job of getting us through in under 3 hours and we still had time to explore the Roman Forum on our own after.

Skip the Long Lines with Big Mamma G!

We booked a tour starting at 8am with Giovanna in hopes of gettin into the Colosseum before it was too crowded. Giovanna knew at the tips and tricks and got us in past the long line outside. She was very engaging with my 11 year old and is so knowledgable about the Colosseum, the Forum and Rome. I liked that this tour ended in the Roman Forum which Giovanna was able to give us a brief introduction to and then we were there to walk around on our own once our tour time was over.

Great Tour with Julia

We had a fantastic private tour of the Colosseum and Roman Forum with Julia. She was engaging and patient with our children, and we learned a great deal from her!

So impressed!

The tour was brilliant. We all enjoyed it enormously. Giulia was absolutely lovely. She was very warm, knowledgable and so good with our young children. Both my husband and I were so impressed. We will book again when we are next back in Italy.

Absolutely amazing!

Arianna and the tour was absolutely amazing! My son really enjoyed it. Arianna made it interesting and fun, and she was so kind and nice; she made my son feel engaged and welcome. Thank you for this unforgettable experience! We took two other tours with another company in Rome before and I would highly recommend Livtours and Arianna because it makes such a difference! Her attitude was so sweet and fun! Thank you!!

We look forward to booking our next tour!

I just wanted to say that we loved the tour we booked. Our son wouldn't stop talking about the tour for days. Our tour guide, Gigi as my son calls her, was very engaging and knowledgeable. Her background in art history made the tour even more enjoyable for my wife and I. We really appreciate the self pacing nature of the tour and how flexible our guide was when our son would occasionally needed a break. Content wise we were very pleased and surprised at how prepared our guide was with her tablet full of informative diagrams and pictures.

Excellent Experience

Francesca was very understanding with the kids, and worked hard to making it as engaging as possible. It was an excellent experience.

Melanie rocks!

Melanie did a FANTASTIC job of giving us a family tour of the Colosseum and Ancient Rome! Her charismatic and enthusiastic personality was enjoyed by everyone in our family. Also, her theatric expressions through her vocals and facials really made the experience relatable and helped us all understand the significance of this site and how it was the center of life in ancient times. The kids said it was the highlight of their trip. If you’re thinking about the tour, I HIGHLY recommend this one .. and if you can, ask for Melanie!

Colosseum family tour

Excellent tour that brought us back in time through our guide, Davide’s colorful historical storytelling. Kids were entranced throughout the tour and went home with lots of new facts and stories to share with their friends. Great experience!
