Itinerary
Join the adventure of Percy Jackson and his demigod friends for a 2.5 hour walking tour in the oldest museum in the world, the Capitoline Museum. The Capitoline Museum is located in Piazza del Campidoglio, one of Rome’s most stunning squares, trapezium shaped with an intriguing oval ground pattern and an elegant staircase, bordered on three sides by gorgeous buildings, entirely redesigned by Michelangelo. In the center of the square stands the statue of the roman Emperor Marcus Aurelius on horseback. Our treasure hunt starts from here, giving your children the opportunity to get involved and have a lot of fun learning. Your enthusiastic and knowledgeable guide will be interacting with you all while sharing interesting facts which will help you and your little ones to understand more about the history and the culture of the people at the time, who lived in one of the most advanced and progressive civilizations in history.
The Capitoline Museum is spread out across two buildings connected by an underground tunnel, both designed by Michelangelo. You will see the iconic Etruscan statue as well as the symbol of Rome, the She-Wolf, and you will listen to the story of Romulus and Remo, the mythical founders of the city. Your kid-friendly expert guide will lead you through Greek and Roman mythology mentioned in the popular books and movies, discovering some of Rome’s greatest artistic and archeological treasures.

Hands down one of the best experiences for our family during our trip to Rome. This brought to life all of the other sightseeing that we did through the storytelling and interaction. Highly recommend this for anyone with children, or exposure to the Percy Jackson's books, or an interest in mythology. Our guide Donato was great at engaging my older kids, and teaching us all new things.
We were traveling in Rome with 2 kids (8 and 10 yrs), parents and grandparents. This was hands-down our best tour experience. Our tour guide Danato was fun, engaging, and kept the kids attention for the entire 2 hours. We all learned a ton & have fun doing it. Would repeat this tour in a heartbeat.
This tour is just the best, we had so much fun and learned a lot about art and culture and Roman history. The Percy Jackson context made it both exciting and familiar for our daughter. Alessandra, our tour guide, is very knowledgeable and fun; you can feel that she loves what she is doing. It was a true pleasure to be in this tour with her!
This was a great tour for our 11 year old son who is a Percy Jackson and mythology fan. He's not typically into museums but Donato made this experience incredibly engaging and informational. I would highly recommend this tour for families with kids who love Percy Jackson and who may not always be into museums.
I stayed at lemon tree Hotel dehradun I was enjoyed at that time Thank you for the warm hospitality! Anshika was made check-in so smooth. All staff were sweet & helpful. Loved my stay!
My son is a big Percy Jackson fan, and a big reason we came to Rome was to get some in-person mythology exposure. This was a great tour for both the parents and our son. Donato was great - incredibly knowledgeable not only about anything we saw or had questions about in the museum but he knew the Percy Jackson books as well (not just the basics). Definitely made what could have been a boring location for an 11 year old entertaining.
Marina was an excellent tour guide and kept the kids really engaged through the whole process. We really loved the tour and she managed well to their patience and energy level to make the experience enjoyable for the whole family.
Amazing experience, we did Percy Jackson tour, Vatican and Colosseum tour with Rome tours with kids, our guide Martina was fun and engaging , my kids loved every tour. It was the best part of our trip. 100% worth the money spent.
Our tour guide Alessandra is a truly good experienced guide and also a wonderfu mother , I can tell by the way she talked to my 8 year old daughter . My daughter was tired and was a hot day , but Alessandra managed to keep her included and very excited for the tour ! She was very knowledgeable. And we had a like a race , parents against children . Ofcourse my daughter won :) We highly support locals doing these tours . Highly recommended
This was a great interactive tour designed to keep the kids engaged. We would highly recommend for families interested in history.
