Rome isn’t just museums and basilicas, it’s way more! That’s why there are tons of things to do in Rome with kids to shape the best Rome family vacation!
We have written a lot of articles about kid-friendly tours in Rome: don’t worry, it’s normal, Rome is so huge and rich that sometimes it can be confusing to see through the trees and choose the best for your family. We have decided to sum up our expertise in one ultimate parents’ guide, which answers the question: how to plan flawlessly your family vacation in Rome?
One secret is to make sure that every member of your family enjoys the day: while the grown-ups might be happy to stroll for hours in a world-class museum, kids want to have fun and do something more interactive and exciting. So you’ll have to find the right compromise: for example, your children are more likely to behave well in a quick visit to a church if there is the promise of the best gelato in town afterwards.
And that’s why we, at You Local Rome, make sure that we strike the right balance: we design the best things to do in Rome with kids, combining fun moments and top attraction tours, led and told by the best child-friendly tour guides ever.
How to start planning your perfect Rome family vacation
Before deciding and booking, you really have to give some thought. Here you can find some tips!
Before booking: what makes your kids curious?
Every family is different and since no one knows your family better than you: if you’re looking for things to do in Rome with your kids, before leaving, just make sure that all these questions are clear to you.
Are your kids typically active and have a lot of energy? Then choose an amazing walking tour and end the experience with a gladiator fight for kids!

Rome tours with kids led by the best local guide
If you’re choosing a Rome family tour, you’ll really have to find the best kid-friendly guide. Nothing is worse than a tour guide who doesn’t love children and doesn’t involve them or listen to them as they need. Your guide has to tell jokes, create suspense, tell stories and be good at kids! That’s exactly why all guides on our Rome family tours know how to handle with them: they’re flexible, friendly, local and knowledgeable.
Shape your own Rome family tour
It’s really simple to overlook the needs of children while traveling, and it’s pretty much a challenge to keep children interested. That’s why with You Local Rome you can create customized itineraries which bring together historic sites with fun activities. We design your tour to fulfill your desires and needs!
