LivTours Colosseum Tour for Kids begins at one of the most iconic landmarks of Rome, the Colosseum, the perfect backdrop for a family photo. Your private family-friendly guide will not waste a minute of your time on this exciting tour, so make sure your children are listening carefully and ready to play! Your guide will start off with questions for the little ones on tour right away, so kids should have their booklets in hand.
As you walk through this ancient building, your guide will share with you the stories of gladiator games and wild animal hunts that used to take place here. Climbing to the first tier of the Colosseum, you can pretend to catch a glimpse of the Emperor! Then, as you walk onto that arena floor, imagine the crowds cheering you on, the deafening roar of the animals that you might be about to face and feel the spine-tingling fear, adrenaline, and excitement!
On this kid-centric tour, your guide will continue to ask questions throughout the tour, building a rapport and comfortable setting for your children. You may even find out that your kids know a bit more about history than you had given them credit for!
After the colosseum, you will find that the ancient Roman Forum is a paradise for the explorer in all of us, but especially for young explorers. With an activity guide in hand, you will learn the stories of what used to be the vibrant downtown hub of Rome. You will have a chance to climb over ancient ruins and even drink from genuine Roman fountains. Make sure you leave no stone unturned as you explore the Roman Forum up, down, and around solving the last mysteries in your activity book. Every child will get a prize at the end of this tour!
The final stop on this tour leads us to the remains of the temple of Julius Gaius Caesar. This interactive tour is not just for kids and it is sure to leave the entire family with a smile on their faces and new knowledge in their heads, making for a remarkable experience.
By selecting the “Gladiator experience for kids” add-on in the sidebar, you will get to visit the well known Gladiator School and Museum, which is managed by the Gruppo Storico Romano and located along the Appian Way. If you choose this option, a driver will come to pick you up just after your tour finishes and take you directly to the school – making this a stress free day for you! Enjoy a 2-hour training session, with all the necessary Gladiator attire and weapons, where both ancient defense and attack tactics will be explored, followed by a visit to the Gladiator Museum. This truly interactive experience is a perfect addition to LivTours’ Colosseum Tour for Kids. Once your time at the Gladiator School is finished, your driver will take you back to your hotel in Rome. Keep in mind that this will add approximately 4 hours to your entire experience.
