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 second tier of the Colosseum you can imagine the deafening applause during the bloody games or pretend to catch a glimpse of the Emperor.
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!
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.
Add a visit to one of the well known Gladiator School and Museum which is managed by the Gruppo Storico Romano that is located on the Appian Way to your Colosseum Tour for Kids. If you choose this option, a driver will come to pick you up just after your tour finishes directly to the school – making this a stress free day for you! Enjoy a 2-hour experience followed by a visit to the Gladiator Museum and a true training session with all the necessary Gladiator attire and weapons, where both defense and attack ancient tactics will be explored. 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.

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."
