Private Family City Walk with Vicus Caprarius Access, Rome

After meeting your kid-friendly guide in Rome's elegant Piazza Navona, where Baroque fountains and buzzing street life set the scene, kids will receive an activity booklet to kick things off: younger explorers embark on an "urban safari," spotting animals carved into fountains and facades, while older kids tackle a treasure hunt filled with clues tied to the square's history and architecture. And while the games unfold, your guide shares stories that bring the piazza's past to life in an approachable way suitable for all ages, including teens and parents.

You and your brood will next make their way to the Pantheon, one of ancient Rome's most extraordinary architectural achievements. While adults admire its grand exterior, kids stay busy hunting for clues and safari finds around Piazza della Rotonda, the square where it resides. The games continue in Piazza della Minerva, home to Bernini's whimsical Elephant and Obelisk sculpture, a 17th-century statue of an elephant carrying a sixth-century Egyptian obelisk, before it's time to carry on to the Trevi district.

Here, you'll head about 33 feet underground to check out the "Water City" of Vicus Caprarius, an archaeological site of ancient ruins and water reservoirs that feed your next stop, the Trevi Fountain. One of Rome's most beloved landmarks, adorned with sculptures depicting Roman legends, gods, and winged horses, you'll join the timeless tradition of tossing a coin into the water to ensure a return to the city, while your guide shares the stories behind the fountain and offers practical tips for families—covering where to eat, what to see, and how to navigate Rome with ease.

The fun wraps up at the top of the Spanish Steps (all 135 of them) near the Trinità dei Monti church, where you'll soak in the scene before concluding your discovery walk with an artisanal gelato. The most challenging part of the day will be deciding which flavor to try!
