The highlight of the Piazza Navona stop comes when the guide reveals a fascinating historical secret: this beautiful square is built on the foundations of the ancient Stadium of Domitian, a Roman arena from the 1st century AD, where sporting events were held. What makes this site even more special is that the stadium is a UNESCO World Heritage site, recognized for its historical significance. Families will have the unique opportunity to descend underground, about 4.5 meters below street level, to explore the remains of this ancient stadium. The experience of walking through the preserved ruins is an extraordinary opportunity for both children and parents to uncover the rich past hidden beneath modern Rome. This glimpse into ancient history adds an unforgettable layer to the adventure.

Back at street level, the group heads to the exterior of the impressive Pantheon, where the guide shares captivating stories about this ancient monument. Meanwhile, the children continue their safari or treasure hunt, looking for more clues around the area.

Next, the tour arrives at Piazza della Minerva, home to the famous statue of an elephant carrying an obelisk, designed by Bernini. Here, kids can search for additional details on the square to advance in their quest, while younger children continue marking off animals in their safari booklet.

The journey continues to the iconic Trevi Fountain, where everyone can take part in the tradition of tossing a coin into the fountain, ensuring their return to Rome. The guide will explain the fascinating legends surrounding this famous landmark and provide practical tips on the best spots in Rome for families, including suggestions for places to visit, where to eat, and useful advice for navigating the city.

The tour concludes at the Spanish Steps, where families can climb the famous staircase leading to the Trinità dei Monti. As a sweet finale, the guide will lead you to one of the city’s best gelaterias, where everyone can enjoy a delicious artisan gelato. Can you imagine a better ending?
