Römische Gladiatorenschule: Werden Sie ein echter Gladiator

Brilliant experience for families Full interactive experience educational, fun and came away with new skills sword, shield and spear The 2hour slot was just right and our gladiator host so much fun making sure everyone picked up the skills, got one on one time and photo opportunities

I was incredibly on the fence about this experience despite all the top reviews. It felt like a waste of a half day and a fair amount of money. Is it worth the money? Ehhh, it's pretty pricey compared to other activities, so I'd argue the price is high especially for non-participants. But, the activity was a highlight for our 8 year old, and the information was excellent. Everyone had a great time and I'm grateful we booked it. Do not ignore the insect spray. We brought it, but never saw a single bug so we didn't use one. One of our family members walked out with a dozen little bites across his legs. Use the spray before you go ;)

This place deserves 6 stars. It’s one of those few absolutely unique experiences and the antidote for kids bored with seeing yet another ruin. It was truly special and the guide was simply amazing. Here’s the answer to the question I tried to find in the reviews before booking: should you book for yourself and your kids or just your kids? Answer: It’s all about even numbers. If you have two kids, don’t sign up! It will be weird. If you have 1 or 3 kids, you basically have to sign up for it to be fun for them. And then there was the one kid without a family member and someone had to pity fight him… Also, believe the mosquito warnings. The other reviewers are actually underselling it. When I asked my kids their favorite activity in Rome, they said, if we didn’t count the mosquitos, this was their favorite. If you count them, it was near the bottom. They each got like 30-50 bites. I never get bitten and got 10-20 bites. I’ve never experienced anything like it. Just find some bug spray or wear long pants. It was so, so miserable without either. It’s unfortunate because, ignoring the mosquitos, it really one of the best memories from our entire trip and definitely the one they’ll be talking about when they see their friends in school.

This experience was one of our top excursions of our trip to Italy. The activity was different from anything else we did and linked really nicely with our visit to Rome's Colosseum. We had a family of four including two kids ages 13 & 10. While it seems our group lent itself to a slightly younger crowd, our kids still had a blast. The instructor was also amazing and made the entire experience a light-hearted, good time. My only advice is to book a return car from the location back to your hotel/ downtown Rome as it was tough to get an uber or tax to return.

It was a wonderful experience. My daughter really enjoyed making her sandals. Highly recommend that you try this out

We had a great time at Gladiator School! It was a fantastic experience for both the kids and the adults. The instructors did an excellent job making history come alive, and we all learned a lot about gladiators and ancient Rome in a fun, hands-on way. This was the perfect activity for our first day in Rome, giving us a great introduction to the history and culture we would experience throughout the rest of our trip. The kids loved getting involved, and the interactive format kept everyone engaged from start to finish. Highly recommend for families looking for an educational and memorable experience that's both fun and unique! 🏛️⚔️🇮🇹

So much fun for the whole family. They even involved the grandparents who had come to watch. It was hot but they offered lots of cold water and we laughed and learned the whole time.

Bring and use bug spray. We had a great time! I felt this gave some variety to learning about Roman history. We laughed a lot.

The whole experience was excellent, and I’m sure it will be the children’s standout memory of their trip to Italy. What super fun! Educational too. Our boys loved every second. Thank you so much.

This starts with some gladiator history in a "museum" then moves to "training" where you weave side to side under a rope, jump side to side over a rope, avoid side to side swinging bags, then do push ups. You do the run through twice. Then you learn basic fighting moves and practice with a partner. Lastly you move to the Arena and battle to the death. At the end you get a certificate for your freedom. It is hot but fun. Water ia provided. Went with 13 year old and 15 year old. Boy and girl.
