Tour was private and catered towards the child (5 year old). Awesome sites which some you wouldn’t know existed without the tour. Great knowledge shared.

Jennifer_P

Our tour guide was amazing. She kept it simple yet full of knowledge for our family (3 kids, 13, 11, 10). She gave us insider information, personalized our trip for us and even took us to a great gelato place. Fabulous time and we learned so much about Rome.
