Private Tour Guide for Rome Geared towards Kids?
Has anyone used Alessandra Mazzoccoli for a tour of Rome? I was recommended to her by Francesca Caruso (who is booked). I am looking to do two 3 hr. tours (Ancient Rome/Vatican & St. Peters) on separate days and geared towards keeping the kids interested? Any other suggestions?

We've just returned from Rome and we used Real Rome Tours who have a number of options available. May I suggest you have a look at their web site. The guides we were allocated were experts in their fields and great communicators. I feel confident they would keep the children interested.

We used Context Tours (http://www.contexttravel.com/city/Rome) and thought they were great. We did the family tour of the Borghese Gallery and our daughter loved it. The tour guide directed everything towards our daughter, which kept her entertained and interested. Even though the tour was "for kids", we learned and enjoyed it as much as she did. In Venice, we did the family scavenger hunt tour and it was one of our favorite days. I highly recommend Context. Have fun!

We will be in Rome in a few weeks (kids 12 & 9) and were interested in a tour of ancient Rome (Forum etc.). I also tried Francesca and she was also booked! She gave a few names and we decided to try Alessia Aletta. Now, we haven't had the tour yet, but so far so good with the communication, etc. before hand.
When asked about kids, she said "Of course, I'm a mother!".
Good luck.

Check out Daniella Hunt with www.rome-tours.com. We took a tour of the Roman Forum and Colosseum with her. We were both adults. But I think her warmth, enthusiasm, wit and sense of fun would translate well to children.
