Long ago, after a great eruption, the magic particles that protected Sorrento were scattered over the town. Now they lie about its streets, squares and seafront. To give the town its magic back, the children must gather every shard by completing tasks and solving riddles.
We have gathered the places that genuinely work with children: somewhere to touch things, somewhere to run and something to argue about. Each comes with a matching tour and advice on when to go.
Kidster runs nine programmes in Rome: quests around the Colosseum and the historic centre, tours of St Peter's Basilica and the Vatican Museums, Leonardo's workshop, a gladiator school and cooking workshops. All are built for children aged 4 to 16 and run in small groups of up to five.
The tours are led by Russian-speaking guides who live in Rome. Booking goes through a manager, who confirms the date and explains the payment terms. Museum entrance tickets are paid separately, and your guide will say in advance which time slots to buy.
