ABOUT THIS TOUR
A very important part of Rome’s history is its ancient cults. The Romans believed in gods and goddesses, it was not faith, it was a cultic worship. There are so many written about Greek mythology and yes, the Romans copied most of that as they were a very practical people. On this tour, you will learn why the Romans did what the Romans did with its mythology and most specially, with its foundation myth.
Explore one of Rome’s most beautiful museums, the Capitoline Museums. This museum is one of Rome’s best kept secrets as most visitors focus on the Vatican Museums missing some of the most important artefacts that archaeologists found in very important sites.
On this tour, you will see the very rare, gigantic bronze statue of Emperor Marcus Aurelius. But that is just a start, see the parts of the ancient colossal statue of Emperor Constantine, both in marble and bronze. See the remains of the Temple of Jupiter, the most important temple in all ancient Rome and the whole empire. And meet also the She-wolf, this is the perfect spot to listen to the Roman foundation myth. On this tour, you get to see even the very precious Baroque statue of Medusa, depicted like no other by the famous Bernini. These are only a few of the treasures you get to discover on this Mythology Tour, make sure you are ready for more.
Note:
The tickets are very limited as the Capitoline Museums allow a limited number of visitors and we highly recommend that we book the tickets as soon as possible. Only online booking allowed.

Ciao Italia - I had 2 tours booked with Rome4Kids & they were both amazing!
First off the communication back and forth and accommodating due to last minute unforeseen circumstances was... read more great! I can’t thank them enough for helping me out with last minute changes when our flights were rescheduled.
My first tour was with Federica in the south part of Italy. she was the sweetest, boys loved listening to her & learning about Amalfi, Ravelo & Pomeii. She took her time, didn’t rush us& was very informative. The driver Fabio too was so funny& engaging. I am looking fwd to requesting her again on future plans!
Our second tour was with Marcellus, he too was very caring & informative. we did so many key point in Rome like the coliseum (inside) the trevi fountain (so crowded we definitely went back early in the morning again) Spanish steps, pantheon (looked amazing, next time we would like to go inside) piazza Navona, Janiculum hill and the travestere area (so much charm!) And we wouldn’t have been able to hit all these places in such a short period of time. This tour is so worth it & everyone should do it!
I am already planning to go back to Europe & I’ll definitely book more tours with Rome4Kids again! Thank you guys we were so pleased with everything.

Must do if you have kids! We went with our 6 year old who obviously loved the golf cart. Andjelka kept her engaged with the scavenger hung (which was for... read more older kids), but this allowed us to take in the sites, listen to the history, and enjoy everything without also having to keep one eye on an energetic kid. We would not have enjoyed our tour as much if it wasn't for the personalized attention she gave her (probably why it is called "Rome for Kids"). It was tailored towards you, so one place we had already seen so that part was quick and we moved on. We got to see the highlights, learn about them, and have fun! Andejelka had tons of information for adults and for kids! Ironically, we thought this would be a day were we would not walk as much, but we still clocked in at least 4 miles!
Our driver (Mario or Marco, I can't remember) also pointed out some good "local" places to try, and the very next day we ran into him and his family getting coffee at one of them!
If you have kids, definitely do this!
