About this tour
Not only pizza, spaghetti and the Colosseum. This is a world where:
- Brilliant inventions sit beside ancient myths
- Masterpieces of art spark new discoveries
- Supercars race along the roads of history
Italy is not simply a country but an absorbing scientific experiment — and you are about to become its lead researchers.
How the tour goes
Your children turn into scientist-detectives, and you become their trusted assistants. Together you set off in search of the mysterious Formula of Italy, hidden among the streets and squares of the Eternal City.
Along the way you will meet characters from Roman legend brought to life and look for answers to questions no textbook covers. And at the finish, the most inquisitive researchers get more than the solution to the main mystery — there is a well-earned prize.
What you will see
- Piazza del Popolo — where antiquity, the Middle Ages, the Renaissance and the present day meet
- The gardens of Villa Borghese — a green oasis in the noisy centre, where popes and cardinals once strolled
- Piazza di Spagna and the famous Spanish Steps
- The Trevi Fountain — the most famous fountain in the world, where wishes come true
- The Column of Marcus Aurelius — a 30-metre “book” in stone, telling stories of military triumphs
- Piazza Navona — the most beautiful square in Rome, if you ask the Romans
What you will learn
- Which Italian inventions changed the world
- What Rome holds the record for among cities
- Where the oldest gelateria is, and the secret of the best gelato
- How Pinocchio came about and where that wooden boy “lives”
- Culinary secrets — why pasta, pizza and tiramisu became world favourites
- The stories of great Italians, from Leonardo da Vinci to Ferrari
- The secrets of the smallest state in the world — the Vatican
Who it suits
- Families with children aged 6+ — if you worry they will tire quickly but still want them to come away with vivid memories
- Anyone who has just arrived in Rome — if you want to feel the atmosphere of the Eternal City straight away, without an avalanche of information
How to prepare
- Comfortable shoes for Rome's cobblestones
