As you walk through this ancient site, your guide will share with you the stories of gladiator games and wild animal hunts that used to take place here. As you walk through the colosseum, imagine the crowds cheering, the deafening roar of the animals, and feel the spine-tingling fear, adrenaline, and excitement.
On this kid-centric tour, your guide will continue to ask questions and engage the children through their activity booklet. 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. 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 unique enamel pin featuring Liv at the end of this tour.
The final stop leads you 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 face and new knowledge of Roman history.
The tour may start at the Roman Forum and continue to the Colosseum afterwards, but you will still have the same engaging experience!

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. 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.
