BOOK TOUR TOUR DESCRIPTION: The tour starts at the Colosseum, where gladiators fought with lions! At the entrance is usually a gladiator, kids will love to take photo him. The ruins are perfectly preserved, which makes it easier for them to imagine. They will be fascinated by the tunnels below, where the animals and gladiators waited to enter the arena. Then we will see the Trevi Fountain, where all will enjoy throwing a coin in the water to guarantee a return to Rome. Not far from the fountain is a specific attraction for children: the Time Elevator. This is a multi-sensation, four-dimensional that describes 3,000 years of Roman history, from Romulus and Remus to the present, in an entertaining and educational format. The special effects include a moving seat, and the entire presentation lasts for 45 minutes. Next we will visit Sant'Ignazio, a beautiful Baroque church, whose ceiling is an optical illusion created by a master of perspective, Andrea Pozzo. This will astonish the whole family. Then we will walk to the Pantheon, the best conserved Roman temple. This is actually a moment to wish for a bit of rain: it is exciting to see the rain coming through the big hole in the roof and falling into the temple! Walking through Piazza Navona we will reach Castel Sant'Angelo, a medieval fortress built over the first century mausoleum of Hadrian. The popes took refuge in this fortress during the time of the barbarian invasions of Rome. Here the charm of the Middle Ages is preserved in a setting that is both beautiful and fascinating. A short walk then takes us to Saint Peter's Square, where we will enjoy the end of the day at a magical location in the square that offers a memorable optical perspective of this magnificent place. This is the entry to Saint Peter's Basilica, and was designed by Bernini, the genius of the Baroque. For children tours see also: The Five Senses of Rome
