Luca was our guide and he was absolutely wonderful- he was very informative, interesting, and very engaging with our group. Great tour for kids and adults alike!
Our guide Luca was great, he brought the colosseum to life for the kids and answered all their questions with enthusiasm. We’d highly recommend this tour, it was really well organised and calm despite how busy Rome is. We loved the fact that the colosseum has cat flaps!
Luca was a fantastic guide and looked after us well. He brought to life the Colosseum through facts and stories and my 9 year old and I loved it. Grazie Luca
It was a wonderful tour, Luca was a very good guide.
Thank you for your review! 😊 We’re glad you enjoyed the tour and that Luca made the experience even more special with his guidance✨ Best regards, Gray Line I Love Rome
Luca was fantastic! He was so informative and kind. He was patient with our children and knowledgeable and made things really interesting for the kids and the adults as well. It was really easy to book the tour and find the group and our whole family really appreciated that we were given little ear sets to be able to hear. Luca and his interesting talk even and things got crowded or busy. It was a fantastic experience for the whole family!
Guide Carol with a lot of knowledge. Very good and friendly guide. I learned new things about the history of Rome thanks to our guide.
Terrific for both kids and adults! Learned a lot! Would recommend to others especially traveling with kids.
We weren’t notified that you need to being IDs with you - thankfully we accidentally had our drivers licenses. It would have been good to know what to bring! The tour wasn’t engaging or informative. The story telling wasn’t done from the gladiator’s perspective, as described on the app. The one good thing is that tickets were included and we didn’t have to stand in line. Otherwise - a total waste of time and money.
Dear Anya - thank you so much for taking the time to share your thoughts about the Colosseum Gladiator Kids Tour: A Family Experience. Regarding the requirement for IDs, we completely understand how frustrating it can be to feel unprepared for an important detail. This requirement, implemented by the organization managing access to the Colosseum, has been in place for a couple of years now, and we’ve made every effort to ensure it is clearly stated on the product description page online. As for the tour experience itself, we’re disappointed to learn that the storytelling and approach didn’t fully meet the level of engagement you were hoping for. Our aim is always to deliver enriching and captivating experiences, especially for families. Please rest assured that your feedback will be shared with the guide, as we’re constantly striving to refine and improve our tours based on our guests’ comments. We’re glad, however, that you appreciated the convenience of skipping the lines with the included tickets, and we sincerely hope that this aspect at least made your visit a bit smoother. Warm regards, Gray Line Rome
Felt a little rushed at end as they were closing the Colleusum. Sound was difficult to hear at times. Very suitable for younger kids. My 7 year old really enjoyed it and asked lots of questions. My 13 year old explored away by himself with dad as was geared towards younger children. Our guide, Barbie, was very good. She was great with kids and had good English.
Dear Joanne, we appreciate your feedback regarding your experience at the Colosseum with our Gladiator Tour for kids. We're sorry to hear that you felt a bit rushed towards the end due to the venue closing. We'll definitely take this into consideration for future tours to ensure a smoother experience for our visitors. Additionally, we apologize for any difficulties you encountered with the sound during the tour. Your comments will help us improve our audio equipment for better clarity in the future. It's wonderful to hear that the tour was very suitable for younger kids and that your 7-year-old enjoyed it and was engaged with lots of questions. We're glad to know that Barbara, your guide, was very good and adept at engaging with kids, as well as having good English skills. We'll make sure to pass on your compliments to Barbara for her excellent service. We understand that the tour may have been more geared towards younger children, leading your 13-year-old to explore independently with their dad. We'll take note of this feedback to ensure that future tours cater to a wider range of ages. Thank you for sharing your experience with us, and we hope to welcome you back for another visit soon. If you have any further concerns or feedback, please don't hesitate to reach out. Grazie mille!
The visit was chaotic. Few internal indications. Friendly staff but of few words. A monument of this kind requires more organization and description
