Tour Description
Our Monuments Talk tour for kids lets you experience Rome as you never have before. Your fun, knowledgeable guide will breathe life into the Eternal City’s enduring monument, drawing forth their secrets for an unforgettable experience. This tour offers the most entertaining and engaging way to discover the art and history of Rome with the kids.
Meet some of history’s most famous artists and their magnificent creations on this fun walk through the city center. We’ll encounter the great names of the Renaissance and Baroque, from Bernini and Michelangelo to Raphael and Borromini. With your private guide’s expertise, this Monuments Talk will nourish your children with cultural inquisitiveness that will serve them through life.
Marvel at Piazza del Popolo and the Spanish Steps
Your private Monuments Talk starts among one of the great works of Bernini: the magnificent Porta Flaminia at Piazza del Popolo. Kids love this bustling, spacious piazza. But what they find most fascinating is the ancient Egyptian obelisk in the center which dates all the way back to the 13th century BC!
Our adventure continues at the famous Spanish Steps. The big kids among you will remember the Spanish Steps for featuring in such iconic movies as Roman Holiday, La Dolce Vita, and the Talented Mr. Ripley. The younger kids in the group love to climb the steps to obelisk at the top and admire Bernini’s Baroque Fontana della Barcaccia (Fountain of the Boat) anchored firmly at the bottom.
Absorb the atmosphere of the Trevi Fountain and Piazza Navona
The site of another iconic scene shot in Rome – all of which you can explore on our Rome Movie Set Tour – is the famous Trevi Fountain. Adults don’t need to picture Anita Ekberg wading into its center to appreciate the fountain’s mystic romanticism. Kids on the other hand can’t get over its sheer scale and the masterful detail of the scenes on its facade.
Piazza Navona is another hit among the kids. Not least because this curved rectangular-shaped square used to be an ancient chariot-racing track. Piazza Navona is one of the many places in Rome where the ancient intermingles with the modern and medieval. For standing in the middle of this track is another ancient Egyptian obelisk, erected in the Fontana dei Quattro Fiumi – a fountain designed by no other than, you guessed it: Bernini!
Admire the awesome interior of the Pantheon and Campo de’ Fiori
No tour of Rome would be complete without visiting the city’s central wonder: the temple to all the pagan gods: the Pantheon. The Pantheon is one of the most impressive architectural feats from all antiquity, still boasting the record for its free-standing dome. Looking up at it from inside is a truly awesome experience. And the smaller you are the more this is amplified!
Our Monument Talk tour then stops at Campo de’ Fiori, a fully-functioning market during the morning and early afternoon and central meeting place come evening. Nearby is the magnificent Palazzo Farnese, another great architectural feat of the Renaissance worked on by no other than Michelangelo.
After three hours of exploration, why not wind down the day with some sweet delicious treats. When in Rome, do as the Romans do by seeking out some of the city’s finest gelato. Meanwhile, parents can treat themselves to a well-deserved glass of prosecco: the perfect aperitivo before seeking out something to indulge in a delicious dinner in the heart of the Eternal City.

Then we walked through the market to pick out some of the ingredients, the meats and such. Then we went back to their excellent small group kitchen. We had a wonderful time learning from Sara. She taught us to make ravioli and saltimbocca and tiramisu. It was fun and relaxed and extremely delicious. We thought the whole experience was splendid. 10 out of 10. read less - 9/26/2022

We got to try a ton of different food and even returned to one of the restaurants later in the week. The tour groups are kept small, so our group easily got to know each other throughout the tour. We were especially pleased with how accommodating it was: My fiance is a vegetarian and can be a bit of a picky eater, so he had low expectations going in and this ended up being his favorite activity all week! We actually had a couple of vegetarians in our group and there was always an equally hearty substitute whenever necessary. Super pleased with this experience and with Luca! Best part of our week! read less - 9/21/2022

A great evening with plenty of incredible local food and drink and a really good way to meet and get to know other travellers. The small group size made it much more personal and conversation flowed all evening! Sara (our guide) was absolutely amazing - so friendly and chatty, and so full of knowledge about the local food and Rome/Trastevere's history. She could not have been better.
I'll be coming back to Rome and will definitely be booking this again. Thank you so much, Sara, for making my first trip to Rome that much better! read less - 9/21/2022mrsmac0912

This was my third time to the Vatican but this time I took my adult/teen children and wife and we used a tour guide. It was a small group of 9. Just 2 families. She was great. She does this 4 days a week and all the guards knew her by name. If you want to see the Sistine Chapel, then you have to go early. We were one of the first to enter and with her connections basically did not wait on anything. We also entered a section in the Vatican Museums usually off limits to the public, a section with many animal statues and other mosaics. She gave us so much history and culture. My children said it was AP World History made real. You could tell she truly loved what she did. read less - 8/29/2022

It was a very hot summer day and she always looks for ways to give us the information under the shade before we went into the sun. I highly recommend this company and Martha as well. It was very easy to make the reservation and pay. We took the private tour and was perfect. 3 hours that feel like Half hour . We didn’t do any limes to get into the places. Know that if you go by yourself or in other yours you could be up to 2 hours under the sun to get into the coliseum or forum. I highly recommend the private tour. read less - 8/05/2022
