Not Kid Friendly

There was nothing kid oriented or kid friendly at all on our tour. Our guide had one used colouring in book that we could hold for a few minutes and then give back.

Best guide ever!

The whole experience was just wonderful - impossible to choose one part. Bruno has a wonderful way of interacting with children, giving them a lot of information in a fun way by setting them age-related challenges and quizzes throughout the tour. My 12, 10 and 9 year old grandchildren absolutely loved it and learnt so much (as did the adults!). They loved it so much that we managed to book a private child-oriented tour of the major sights in Rome with him- another huge success! Will recommend Bruno to everyone we know going to Rome - both for families with children, and adults.

Wonderful way to experience the Colosseum

I am very glad I booked this tour with Bruno Tours. I have two little ones, and our guide (Francisco) made sure to keep it interesting for (at least) the older child - which gave me the peace of mind to enjoy it myself. It was informative, enjoyable, and awe-inspiring. The tour also allowed us to enjoy the ancient grounds outside of the Colosseum as well, which painted a more vivid image of the times and the landscape. Highly recommend!

Great tour for the kids and us!

Tom our guide was very knowledgeable and as an archaeologist he was clearly very passionate about the Colosseum and Ancient Rome. He entertained the kids with a lot of engagement, stories and quizzes and was also able to share many interesting factoids about the site with us the adults. He brought with him a tablet with pictures, 3D renditions and images of artefacts which help us visualize how a ruin or temple used to look like in its original glory and show us how archaeologists can know how things used to be. That was very educational and fun. I will strongly recommend this tour to anyone.

Perfect tour for kids

Our tour guide Francesco was amazing. He entertained our kids with great stories and answered every question they asked. The way he engaged the kids made the tour a wonderful journey through time. Especially our 12 year old was hanging on every word he said and later remarked that this was the best experience of our entire Italian holiday. Highly recommended!
