Rome walking tour with teenagers
Any specific recommendations on this subject. I have read the messages hear on walking tours in general but most are almost a year old and none addressed teens specifically. Thanks!

My daughter was a teenager when we went to Rome in March but became a 20-something the day after we returned. We thoroughly enjoyed our walking tours with Enjoy Rome through ancient Rome and the Vatican. I don't know whether your teenagers are close to her age or younger, but there were some younger teens on our tours who also seemed to enjoy them.

We took our then 13 and 15 year olds to Rome last August. Used Eden Tours with a guide who was originally from Florida. We found them at the forum on one of their "free" tours which basically is marketing for more of their services. We booked a Rome at Night walking tour which was wonderful and the boys learned more antecdotes and good info that you can imagine. We also used them for the Vatican Museum and Sistine Chapel. This wasn't quite as good since the guide underestimated the lines at the museum and we waited for several hours to get in and then had just a little time in the Sistine Chapel. She was an art major and very knowledgeable, however. We also took a tour with them of St Peters and that was also very good. We're not Catholic so all of it was new and different. Our boys loved it!

Hi
there have been frequent postings recently on Rome walking tours.
Two other companies mentioned recently, and praised, are Scale Reale and Through Eternity.
Just do a search on either, the recent postings should come up.

Forgot on the original reply - you'll see these guides usually at the forum or St Peter's in the afternoon; they wear little tan baseball type caps as identification. The cost was reasonable and the personal attention as well as the volume of information was great.
