Morning: be a gladiator
Start with a gladiator-school session, where kids learn to fight like Romans, then a family-friendly Colosseum and ancient Rome tour told as stories rather than dates keeps young visitors engaged.
Afternoon: see the city the fun way
A golf-cart highlights tour glides past the Trevi Fountain and Pantheon with gelato stops along the way — far easier than walking for little legs — or a treasure hunt through the historic centre.
Evening: make your own pizza
End with a hands-on pizza- or pasta-making class, where the whole family cooks (and eats) a Roman dinner together — a guaranteed hit with children.
