      Great experience
      Donato was amazing! So fun, so patient and so knowledgeable! The kids had an amazing time and kept talking about how funny Donato is! The adults learned a lot too. Kids ages were 5 and 6 years old

      Fabulous private tour with Donato
      We missed our original tour (our fault) but the company took the effort to find an extra tour for us on short notice. We got Donato, who was fabulous and engaging with our 9 year old and kept her going despite the afternoon heat and us having arrived from the other side of the world the previous day. We can’t speak highly enough about Donato; very friendly and accomodating, and his knowledge was truly befitting that of his archeology background.

      Great tour for families!
      We had a fantastic time visiting the Vatican on this tour with our guide Donato. He kept our 7yo entertained with a fun art scavenger hunt while educating us all about the art history and answering our questions. I'd recommend this tour to any families looking to learn and have fun while visiting a must beautiful location.

      A must....
      Donato was an excellent guide on our tour today. He engaged so well with the kids and really spent quality time getting to know them, listening and answering all of their questions. Our son especially loved playing the different games. Communication prior to the tour was excellent and Donato was easy to find. Highly recommend this tour!

      Best Pisa Tour for Families
      We had the most amazing tour in Pisa with Pinocchio Tours. Maria Ilaria was our guide and she was wonderful. We learned so much and she was great at engaging with our kids (7 and 9). The driver was perfect too!

      Colosseum tour with kids
      Amazing experience with Donato! Highly recommend this tour. He is funny and engaging with both adults and kids. He played games throughout with us and kept the kids entertained. Would highly recommend.

      Fabulous Family Friendly Tour!
      Donato was an absolute dream! He led a kid-friendly small group tour of the Colosseum and was so charming, engaging and knowledgeable. Even on a crowded, scorching hot day he led us through with efficiency and enthusiasm engaging the children and adults alike. I would recommend him to anyone for a tour!

      A must!!
      We were lucky enough to have Donato who was funny, knowledgeable, and most importantly engaging for the kids. He played games to keep the kids learning about things that can be overwhelming and possibly boring to them. For the adults, it really felt like a backstage pass to ancient roman times. A real highlight to our roman vacation.

      Wonderful family tour of Colosseum and Forum
      Our family of 7 (including 2 children ages 10 and 15) took a private tour of the Colosseum including the Forum in July 2024. Our tour guide, Donato, was wonderful. He explained everything so well, and made the experience fun for both the kids and the adults. He was very knowledgeable and patient, and answered all our questions. He was also kind and thoughtful, one of the best tour guides we've ever had. We would highly recommend this tour.

      An Adventure of a Lifetime!
      We traveled to Rome with five children, ranging from one to 12 years of age. Bruno and Alessandra provided two amazing tours. The process from start to finish was a breeze. Communication from day one up until the tour was flawless. They both were incredibly attentive to the children (and adults) and ensured they were learning while having much fun! This is our second time using this company and we tell everyone we meet that if you have children, you must book a tour with these two. You start as strangers and leave missing your new friends! Thank you and we cannot wait to return!

      Amazing Vatican Experience
      Booking a tour with our guide, Bruno, was the highlight of our Vatican experience. His passion for art and history shone through as he navigated us through the intricate halls of the museums, explaining the details of each work of art. Bruno’s deep knowledge and engaging personality made the tour both educational and fun, especially for my 12 year old daughter. Grazie, Bruno for an exceptional tour!

      Great Experience
      Our family did the tour of the Vatican with Donato and it was fantastic. Donato is an incredible storyteller, bringing the history of the Vatican to life in a way that was clear to understand and appreciate. He navigated our family through all the important parts with ease. Thank you for a wonderful experience!

      Great experience with Bruno!
      Our family did the Tour of the Coliseum and Forum for kids and it was wonderful. Our guide Bruno was extremely engaging, knowledgable and personable. He was easy to find at the meet up spot and we had a quick trip into the Coliseum with no waiting in line. During our tour, he shared the history of the site along with very interesting tidbits. He had a fun game that included everyone and kept the kids involved. Bruno even showed us the best picture spots and took photos of each family. Then we were off to the Forum where he made it come to life with his stories and even had a game for the kids! Along the way he had water stops for us to fill us our water bottles. I would highly recommend this tour and request Bruno as your guide!

      Great experience for family with young kids
      We love our tour guide Martina. She is full of energy and very good with kids. She has designed quite a few games for the kids which is very helpful and kept the kids engaged and interested in various topics on acient Rome. The tour was quite interactive and my 6-yr old really liked it.

    Dontano was our amazing tour guide on the Percy Jackson and Ancient Myths Tour at the Capitoline Museums. He did a great job of engaging our tween girls, entertaining, and most importantly educating us all on the amazing artifacts inside the museum. The tour was well paced and Donato was happy to answer all of our questions. This tour greatly exceeded our expectations and was thoroughly enjoyed by all.

    Maria was the best tour guide we had all week. She is knowledgeable, engaging, and fun. My kids were excited and actively participated throughout the entire visit. We all left with an increased love of mythology....even my 14 year old who has devoured all information she can find on mythology since she was 9.

    My kids are huge PJ fans and they really enjoyed this tour. It’s geared a little toward kids under 10-11, but my teen even liked it. It was also a great way for the adults to see this museum without dragging our kids through it. The scavenger hunt was fun, especially for the 10 yo, who really enjoyed beating her parents (who had not read the books). Simone was very knowledgeable about the art and archaeology we were seeing and able to answer even non-PJ questions. Highly recommend!

    We did this tour with our 3 boys, ages 10, 8, 5. It was our first proper museum experience and this family oriented tour kept the boys engaged for the entire 2.5 hours. Our boys know a fair bit about the gods from their Rick Riordan readings so this tour felt very appropriate. I'm not sure if I would do it without that background knowledge considering how pricey the tour was. That being said, I am very glad we did it. We ended up being the only family on the tour and our tour guide, Allesandra, had lots of expertise in the area and was lovely with the kids

    Our two boys, having avidly read the Percy Jackson series, were very excited to explore and see the 'real' sources of the stories, and had an absolutely wonderful time exploring what is probably the most beautiful (and quieter) museums of Rome. Our guide was a font of knowledge and despite our mess-up on the timing was absolutely accommodating and understanding and providing insights and fun games and activities from our deep knowledge and passion for the history and items. We ended the tour with panoramic views of the forum and Colosseum from the museum (the best view in the city!) and feeling like we had really gained an insight into the city and it's amazing history!

    This was my kids absolute favorite activity we did in Rome. My son has read all the books so when I heard about it I figured it was worth a try. This was a basically private tour of the Capitoline museums. I had never been and I was surprised by how much my husband and I also enjoyed this tour. A must if you have a child who likes Percy Jackson. But even my younger son who hasn’t read the books was completely engaged the entire time. I would recommend this tour to anyone with kids. Alex is phenomenal!! So engaging and personable! She made the whole tour into a game. But we learned so much at the same time. It was really one of the best experiences in Rome. No question.
