This half-day tour can be tailored to suit your children's interests and ages.

The Standard Itinerary includes:

1. A visit to the Bocca della Verita (the mouth of truth, an ancient lie-detector! Featured in the Audrey Hepburn film 'Roman Holiday')

2. The Colosseum, with its tales of brave gladiators

3. The Roman Forum for stories of famous Roman emperors such as Julius Caesar

4.  The Catacombs. For mysterious reasons, unknown to most adults, the underground holds a particular allure for children.

As an alternative to the Catacombs, you may prefer to look through Rome's famous "keyhole", where you squint, look through it and discover a.... surprise!

5. The Capuchin Crypt, another unusual experience - located beneath a church, the crypt is macabre yet interesting place, where the bones of the Capuchin monks are used to decorate tiny chapels.

The greeting comes from the skeletons: "What you are now, we used to be; what we are now, you will be".

There are many possible itineraries, as the city is filled with child-friendly destinations - even the Vatican museum can be made interesting for children!

At a pace that suits your family, with the right blend of fun and information, travel back in time in the Eternal City.
