Who we are - Our Team
Licensed family-specialized guides creating top-rated kid-friendly tours and experiences in Rome since 2013.
Who We Are
We are a team of licensed, family-specialized guides who believe that traveling with children should be meaningful, enjoyable, and stress-free. In 2013, we founded Rome Tours with Kids with the aim of creating guided experiences designed specifically for families visiting Rome and Italy.
How It All Started
Rome tours with Kids was born from firsthand experience. As guides and parents, we saw how often traditional tours failed to engage children or moved at a pace that was exhausting for families. We decided to change that by creating tours where kids are part of the experience, not an afterthought. From the beginning, our focus has been on clarity, storytelling, and a rhythm that works for both children and adults.
Our Team of Guides
Our team is made up of top-rated licensed guides who specialize in working with families and children of different ages. Each guide is carefully selected not only for their professional qualifications, but also for their ability to communicate clearly, adapt to each family’s needs, and create a welcoming atmosphere. We work together as a close-knit team, sharing ideas and constantly improving our tours.
Our Philosophy
We believe that the best family tours balance education, enjoyment, and comfort. Our experiences are private, flexible, and thoughtfully planned, allowing families to explore at their own pace. Whether visiting ancient ruins, museums, or city streets, our goal is to help children stay curious and parents relax—creating memories that last long after the trip ends.

Donato was AMAZING! this is by far the best kid-friendly historic tourS we have participated in. Great tour for all ages, kids and adults. Donato made it fun and engaging for all of us. He ties in relevant games, stories, and had a knack for reneging tired little ones that started getting distracted. Highly recommend. We had kids ranging from 4-13 in our group and he was great with all of them. We did Colosseum , Vatican and Percy Jackson tour and we loved them all. BOOK WITH THEM!

We cannot say enough great things about our experience touring Rome with Alessandra. We did two tours with her — and from start to finish, she was absolutely fantastic. We were a multigenerational group with three kids (ages 8, 10, and 12), two parents, and a grandma, and Alessandra somehow managed to keep everyone fully engaged and happy. She was incredibly knowledgeable and professional, but also so warm, patient, and fun — exactly what you’d hope for in a family-friendly guide. She answered what must have been 1,000 questions from our curious kids with enthusiasm, never once losing her energy or her smile. She even played games with them to keep the experience interactive and memorable. The kids loved her — and so did we! Thanks to Alessandra, we all walked away not just with new knowledge about Rome’s incredible history, but with genuine excitement and joy. This was a highlight of our trip. Highly recommend her to any families visiting Rome — she’s a true gem!

We had an excellent experience! Definitely well worth the money to get these private tours if you have kids with you. We spent a week in Rome with our five kids (ages 13-1), and went on 4 different tours from this company. We did Percy Jackson Capitoline Museum, Pompeii day trip, colosseum/forum, and Vatican tours. They were all fun, engaging, and perfect for kids. Our tour guides and the driver that took us to Pompeii were lovely. Thanks Adriana, Serena, and Simona!

We had a fantastic experience on our tour to the Colosseum and Forum. Our guide (Veronica) was extremely engaging, enthusiastic and knowledgeable about the history. She also had a wonderful way of keeping the kids involved by playing a game, having them answer questions, and "earning" souvenirs along the way. Scheduling was very easy and we had no problems in meeting Veronica for the start. I would highly recommend Rome Tours with Kids for anyone, not just those with kids. We had 3 kids (10, 12, and 12) plus 6 adults. Bravo!

Tours with Kids is fantastic! Our tour guide, Alessandra, was excellent with our 8 year old son and with us. We did a tour of the Vatican, and she was very knowledgeable and was able to give both our son AND us a fulfilling experience. Tours with Kids did a great job communicating with us and being very clear of what to do and what to expect. Alessandra was prompt and had special activities for our son to do while learning about the Vatican. We would absolutely use them again and would hope to have Alessandra as our guide.

We had an absolutely amazing experience. Francesca was our tour guide for the Colosseum tour with our 2 granddaughters. She made everything so interesting and kept not only them but my husband and myself totally engrossed the entire time. They learned so much whilst having fun at the same time. We visited many different cities and places and when they were asked which one they enjoyed the most, they responded without any hesitation that it was the Colosseum and Rome. Thank you Francesca - this is something they will always remember. I am so thankful that I found Rome Tours with Kids. This is the way to show children Rome. I highly recommend it!!
