Guidekin's take

A private Blue Badge guide who works with children: the Colosseum and the Forum's Arch of Titus, Senate House and Caesar's temple turned into a story the kids follow, at their pace.

Entry and reservation fee are included at €289 per person, pickup and food are not. Best from about six years old.

In our comparison: #18 of 132 in Colosseum, Forum & Palatine Tours, by rating weighted by review volume (see the comparison).
