Francesca was amazing with my 2 boys! Not only did she engage so well with them, she kept quizzing them to check they had been listening and retained the information. The Colosseum is amazing for the whole family to see but takes the experience to another level to hear the stories told in a way the children understand. This was a day our kids will not forget! So grateful we decided to do the families tour!

Perfect tour for families

Grace, our guide, did a fantastic job telling the history and engaging our kids of wide ranging ages (4, 8, 11, 13, and 19). Everytime they seemed to lose interest, she brought them right back in and made sure the adults got the most out of their visit too.
