8 of us took a tour of the Colosseum and the Vatican last week with Manuela, It was very important for us to have our children engaged during the tours on both days and Manuela did just that.

There were three in our group. We used Rome With a Roman twice . . .once for The Vatican and then The Colosseum, Forum. The guides were quite informative and congenial. Being able to have private tours at a fair price made our visit to Rome so much more beneficial. One of our group had been to Rome previously and... More

Our guide, Alesandra, did a great job. She met our small group of 4 (two couples) at the entrance to the Vatican Museum and led us through the crowds. Along the way she made our understanding of the museums and its treasures come alive. The next day she tailored out tour to the city and its historic sites. We met... More

She gave us a modified tour in light if this development, and really enhanced our exprience of Rome. She took... More

Our morning tour of the Colosseum with Alessandra was wonderful! We were traveling with kids, ages 6, 10, and 11, and wanted to help them connect with the history and culture they were seeing in a way that was relevent and meaningful.

Rome was the last stop on our Italian vacation and we were starting to feel a little overloaded coupled with traveling with 3 small children we were a little nervous about how they would do on the tour as well.
