4. Skipping the Huge Line at the Colosseum
It’s no secret that Rome is busy and crowded. It’s one of the world’s most visited cities, which often results in long waiting lines at restaurants, entrances of attractions, and so on. No kid (and no adults for that matter) waits to spend an hour or more queuing.
This is exactly why we include skip-the-line tickets in all our applicable itineraries. So, no need to waste time in line before visiting awesome landmarks like the Colosseum.

5. Exploring Rome’s Mysterious Underground
A walk through the Roman catacombs and the underground Crypt of Capuchins, with its Bone Chapels, might not seem like an ideal activity for kids on Rome family tours at first sight. The opposite is true, however. This particular tour is catered to both children and adults and the local guide will take care to make it as kid-friendly and interesting as possible.
In fact, most kids end up really loving this below-ground exploration of a part of Rome few visitors known about.
