Full description

Step back in time and let your family become little explorers on an unforgettable adventure through the heart of Colosseum and Roman Forum. This interactive treasure hunt transforms Ancient Rome into a giant outdoor playground where history comes alive through riddles, clues, and stories designed especially for kids and families.

Guided by a friendly and knowledgeable local expert, you’ll journey around some of the city’s most iconic landmarks, including the majestic Arch of Constantine, the ancient temples of the Forum, and the impressive Curia Julia (Senate House), where Roman senators once shaped the destiny of an empire. Along the way, children will solve puzzles, uncover fun facts about gladiators, emperors, and gods, and collect clues that lead to a final hidden “treasure.”

The adventure also includes an up-close exploration of the exterior of the Colosseum, where your guide will share fascinating stories of brave gladiators and roaring crowds. For families who want to extend the fun, you can add a visit inside the Colosseum or climb up Palatine Hill to discover the remains of imperial palaces where emperors once lived.

Perfect for curious kids and history-loving parents, this treasure hunt is playful, educational, and engaging. It’s not just a tour—it’s a hands-on experience that turns history into a family adventure to remember.

Bruno was absolutely wonderful! There were so many things we wanted to see, but we knew our kids would get bored quickly. Bruno made sure they were engaged the entire time and they loved every second of it. The parents and grandparents also loved it! It is 100% worth the money to do the family tour if you have kids. Our kids were ages 7,8 and 10.

Una caccia al tesoro divertente e stimolante: Bruno, la guida, oltre che essere competente, sa coinvolgere i bambini con storie, aneddoti e immagini storiche. Due ore piacevoli, assolutamente consigliata!

Ho partecipato alla caccia tesoro in lingua inglese a Milano come parte di un team building organizzato dalla mia azienda con colleghi di Francia e Spagna (gruppo di circa 28 persone). Bruno, la nostra guida, è stato molto competente e bravissimo a coinvolgere tutti, anche i colleghi stranieri. Pur essendo di Milano, ho scoperto tanti aneddoti e fatti storici sulla città (e anche sul nostro Paese in generale) che non conoscevo. È stata un’esperienza molto istruttiva e divertente, assolutamente consigliata!
