Meet your guide near the Colosseum and take a leap into the astonishing history of the Roman Empire. Listen to extraordinary stories about brave gladiators and the battles with wild animals that took place here to entertain the crowds. In such ferocious and bloody combat, the best gladiators of the entire Empire (actually slaves) fought to save their lives and gain the chance to be free.
Walk along the cobbled streets of the Roman Forum and learn about the religious, political and economic centre of ancient Rome. See the Imperial Palace, the Arches of Titus and Constantine, the Temples of Vesta, Saturn, and Romolus, the Altar of Julius Caesar and much more. Your knowledgeable and passionate guide will enable you to breathe the atmosphere of Rome as it was 2000 years ago, and with stories, games, trivia and interactive activities she will bring these fascinating ruins back to life. Children will particularly love this tour, they can walk outdoors, play and learn a great deal.

Marco was our tour guide and he was amazing! He was energetic, attentive, informative, and very engaging with my kids. We learned so much about the colosseum, but he was also really helpful with recommendations for eating and visiting sites around the city. Would highly recommend!
Claudia was an exceptional guide for our Colosseum and Forum tour. She managed to engage both grandparents and children throughout, bringing the history to life in a way that was fun, clear, and genuinely memorable.The heat was intense, yet she was wonderfully considerate — finding shaded places for the grandparents to sit, getting us into the lift, and pacing the tour so everyone stayed comfortable. Her care, knowledge, and calm organisation made the whole experience outstanding. We couldn’t have asked for a better guide.
Guilia was our favorite guide from all the tours in all of Italy. She was flexible, thoughtful, funny and informative. She made the tour a fun game for kids and we all learned so much.
We had an absolutely incredible tour of the Colosseum and Roman forum with our guide Marco. From the very beginning, he made our kids (age 7 and 9) feel like they were the complete focus of the tour. Marco found ways to weave games and quizzes into the exploration, and made sure we had plenty of time to find shade and water in the heat. My kids are still talking about the tour! Thank you so much Marco for making our tour unforgettable!
I read about Pinocchio tours on a blog and decided to reach out to them after feeling really overwhelmed by all the options online. I immediately had confidence, as they responded quickly and professionally with all relevant info needed. We were visiting Rome with our 8 year old daughter and I wanted the amazing historical and cultural sites to come alive for her and spark her interest and imagination. That doesn’t usually happen by accident so I knew I wanted kid-friendly guided tours. I ultimately booked two tours with them and later added a third and every single one was spectacular. The meeting points were clear, the guides were on time, the tours were interesting for both kids and adults, each one had little games or trivia to keep kids’ interest sharp, and they gave enough info to make the tour meaningful and informative without being boring or lecture-y. Really can’t recommend enough! It totally made our trip.
We had a wonderful afternoon with Claudia at the Colosseum and Forum. She was very knowledgeable and friendly and was able to adapt to the needs of grandparents and children kindly and carefully. Her English was excellent and she communicated the excitement of the Colosseum with great drama and humour, keeping both adults and children enthralled. We couldn’t have had a better time. Thank you Claudia!
