Description

This tour of the Colosseum is designed for curious kids and families who want to experience an adventure through history. An expert guide, using simple and engaging language, leads families through the ancient stones of the world's most famous amphitheater, telling stories of gladiators, emperors, and spectacular games that enlivened Rome two thousand years ago.

During the visit, children and young people will discover parts of the Colosseum as they have seen them in movies and school books – but this time in real life! They will walk along the corridors where the gladiators once passed, look down on the arena and imagine the crowd cheering, the trumpets blaring and the emperor raising his thumb to decide the fate of the fighters.

The guide will lead them to discover the hidden secrets of the monument: the hoists that lifted the cages of the beasts, the trapdoors from which the gladiators emerged, and the graffiti still visible on the stones, etched by the hands of ancient spectators. And it is precisely among these intriguing details that the children will notice something special: small doors hidden within the walls of the Colosseum. These are the little doors for the cats that live among the ancient stones, and with a bit of luck, during the visit you might see one suddenly appear, to the delight and smiles of the little ones.

The route then continues through the ruins of the Roman Forum and Palatine Hill, where the daily life of Ancient Rome comes to life: here, children can stroll among the columns of the temples dedicated to the gods, discover where Caesar gave his speeches and admire the remains of the imperial houses overlooking the Eternal City. The guide will bring to life the voices of the merchants, the scents of the spices and the rustle of the white togas along the marble streets.

Between one story and the next, there will be no shortage of moments of pure wonder. The little ones will hear the legend of Titus, the young emperor who had the Colosseum built to give it to the people after years of war; and that of Flavia, the little girl who one day managed to sneak into the arena to see her favorite gladiator, hiding among the cloaks of Roman ladies. True and imagined stories that will make the visit more relatable to the world of children, while still remaining faithful to history.

Ideal for families with children and teenagers, this tour is designed to stimulate the imagination and curiosity of younger visitors, but also to captivate adults. The explanations are clear, engaging and full of fascinating details, bringing the grandeur of Ancient Rome to life without ever becoming boring.
