The staff out there are good for nothing. They waited me down for no reason as i told my family to go and order and i was at basement parking where i was calling my family and they told me that the eeco car which was blocking the parking is of ours,(Deja-Vu) and will let you park the vehicle but i waited for half and hour than came the driver to give me parking but by that time my daughter and wife was already down and the dinner got messed up. Do not gave fake promises to the guest who comes to your property with high expectation but i suggest to all that these people fake us and make us wait sometimes with order and sometimes with parking.

Itinerary
Join the adventure of Percy Jackson and his demigod friends for a 2.5 hour walking tour in the oldest museum in the world, the Capitoline Museum. The Capitoline Museum is located in Piazza del Campidoglio, one of Rome’s most stunning squares, trapezium shaped with an intriguing oval ground pattern and an elegant staircase, bordered on three sides by gorgeous buildings, entirely redesigned by Michelangelo. In the center of the square stands the statue of the roman Emperor Marcus Aurelius on horseback. Our treasure hunt starts from here, giving your children the opportunity to get involved and have a lot of fun learning. Your enthusiastic and knowledgeable guide will be interacting with you all while sharing interesting facts which will help you and your little ones to understand more about the history and the culture of the people at the time, who lived in one of the most advanced and progressive civilizations in history.
The Capitoline Museum is spread out across two buildings connected by an underground tunnel, both designed by Michelangelo. You will see the iconic Etruscan statue as well as the symbol of Rome, the She-Wolf, and you will listen to the story of Romulus and Remo, the mythical founders of the city. Your kid-friendly expert guide will lead you through Greek and Roman mythology mentioned in the popular books and movies, discovering some of Rome’s greatest artistic and archeological treasures.

Hands down one of the best experiences for our family during our trip to Rome. This brought to life all of the other sightseeing that we did through the storytelling and interaction. Highly recommend this for anyone with children, or exposure to the Percy Jackson's books, or an interest in mythology. Our guide Donato was great at engaging my older kids, and teaching us all new things.
We were traveling in Rome with 2 kids (8 and 10 yrs), parents and grandparents. This was hands-down our best tour experience. Our tour guide Danato was fun, engaging, and kept the kids attention for the entire 2 hours. We all learned a ton & have fun doing it. Would repeat this tour in a heartbeat.
This tour is just the best, we had so much fun and learned a lot about art and culture and Roman history. The Percy Jackson context made it both exciting and familiar for our daughter. Alessandra, our tour guide, is very knowledgeable and fun; you can feel that she loves what she is doing. It was a true pleasure to be in this tour with her!
This was a great tour for our 11 year old son who is a Percy Jackson and mythology fan. He's not typically into museums but Donato made this experience incredibly engaging and informational. I would highly recommend this tour for families with kids who love Percy Jackson and who may not always be into museums.
I stayed at lemon tree Hotel dehradun I was enjoyed at that time Thank you for the warm hospitality! Anshika was made check-in so smooth. All staff were sweet & helpful. Loved my stay!
My son is a big Percy Jackson fan, and a big reason we came to Rome was to get some in-person mythology exposure. This was a great tour for both the parents and our son. Donato was great - incredibly knowledgeable not only about anything we saw or had questions about in the museum but he knew the Percy Jackson books as well (not just the basics). Definitely made what could have been a boring location for an 11 year old entertaining.
Marina was an excellent tour guide and kept the kids really engaged through the whole process. We really loved the tour and she managed well to their patience and energy level to make the experience enjoyable for the whole family.
Amazing experience, we did Percy Jackson tour, Vatican and Colosseum tour with Rome tours with kids, our guide Martina was fun and engaging , my kids loved every tour. It was the best part of our trip. 100% worth the money spent.
Our tour guide Alessandra is a truly good experienced guide and also a wonderfu mother , I can tell by the way she talked to my 8 year old daughter . My daughter was tired and was a hot day , but Alessandra managed to keep her included and very excited for the tour ! She was very knowledgeable. And we had a like a race , parents against children . Ofcourse my daughter won :) We highly support locals doing these tours . Highly recommended
This was a great interactive tour designed to keep the kids engaged. We would highly recommend for families interested in history.
We just got back from our trip to Italy. We went to multiple cities and did many things. The Percy Jackson tour in Rome was by far our kids’ favorite activity! Adults also learned a lot from the tour. Our tour guide Alessandra is knowledgeable, fun and made the museum tour interactive and engaging for all of us! One of our kids read all the Percy Jackson books and the other only watched the TV series - both were able to follow along and learn about the exhibits and the history of the Roman empire through Percy Jackson story/characters in a fun and engaging way. Highly recommend this tour for any family visiting Rome!
We had a wonderful tour with Alessandra at the Capitoline Museum. We were six adults and six children (14 and under) visiting the museum for the first time. Alessandra kept the kids engaged and entertained with games and a competition between the kids and adults (the kids won!). We can’t recommend this company enough. We hire them every time we are in Rome!
I had a brilliant time for my birthday, and it was so nice to see everyone happy and having fun on the dance floor. The staff are very professional and friendly. My self and my daughter had a facial which was very relaxing. The swimming pool is nice and warm and easy to get into which is important if you have mobility problems. I am looking forward to my next visit.
We spent four hours in the Vatican Museums with Sara Magister as our guide. She is recommended by Rick Steves as an exceptionable personal guide while in Rome and for good reason. The museums can be an overwhelming first-time experience, but Sara is distinctly able to help you focus on the major artistic works and be thoroughly enriched by the experience.
This was a great tour of the museum. I have a husband and two young boys who are really not interested and bored when coming to a museum. I booked this specifically because it focuses on kids. I think that Martina did an excellent job keeping the kids attention. She had an iPad that helped the kids visualize what things would have looked like. She was sitting with them and working with them to make sure they understood. She had these fun cards so they could translate ancient Latin. They really learned too. They asked questions and they even talked about it afterwards. I think she did the best anyone could do with my difficult to entertain children. I would recommend this to other families.
Donato was an outstanding guide. His charm and expertise kept out son fully engaged with the historical surroundings. Our son said this tour deserves infinity stars - not just five.
This was the best tour we've ever taken! Our tour guide, Maria, was exceptional. She was extremely knowledgeable, kept the kids engaged, and was very patient and kind. Our kids (7, 5 and 3) said this was their favorite activity in Rome! She incorporated games and scavenger hunts throughout the tour and our kids LOVED it. My husband and I also loved the tour and learned a lot from Maria. I highly recommend this tour!!!
Maria was the best tour guide we have ever had. She kept our four kids (11, 9, 7,6) engaged the entire time. Only one of our kids has read all the Percy Jackson books, but the tour was still excellent for all. Our kids loved the competition and the chance to learn from Marià. She was an great teacher. We would highly recommend this tour! One of our best memories from Rome!
This is a fantastic way to experience the museum. Simone brought the stories to life while surrounded by all the statues. My children were enthralled, engaged and loved the quiz and games making it so interactive for them. Highly recommend
Maria, our guide was very knowledgeable, fun, excellent with the kids, adapted the language and story to their level. But as adults we were also involved and could take very much from the presentation. Highly recommend! As the kids said, without the stories it is just stones.
Our guide (Donato) was fantastic - extremely knowledgeable and related well and made the day really fun for our 9 yo son.
Even if your child hasn't read the Percy Jackson series... this tour can't be beat! Donato was the best guide anyone could ask for. He was fun, engaging and kept us all enthralled! We are so glad we found this tour and splurged. Our son loved it and it was a highlight of our time in Rome especially for him, but also for us, as adults!
Thoroughly enjoyable private tour with Simona for 3 adults and preteen (who's studied ancient Rome and Greece history and mythology in homeschool and avid fan of Percy Jackson books/movies). Game provided opportunity for adults to learn more, while visiting the exhibits and preteen to share his knowledge and enjoyment of Percy Jackson as well as ancient history and mythology with Simona. Such a fun, creative tour. Highly recommend Simona who developed this 'game' and her tour. Simona was knowledgeable and engaging; passionate about the subjects; and, overall, an excellent tour guide.! A great time for all!
All of us (ages 10-70) had a great time on the tour of the Capitoline Museum in Rome with Simona! The Percy Jackson theme made a great museum tour even more fun, and kept the attention of my tween who loves and has studied a lot of mythology and has read ALL of Rick Riordan’s books. Simona was not only engaging but also very knowledgeable about the history and artifacts. Thoroughly enjoyed by all; tween wanted to go back to the museum again the next day. Highly recommend both this tour and Simona.
Simona was a delightful, fun and engaging guide on our private tour. What an interesting and creative way to explore the exhibits. My grandson who is very knowledgeable about ancient Roman and Greek history and mythology (and avid fan of Percy Jackson books) thoroughly enjoyed - as did the 3 adults who were less so - the creative game challenges related to Percy Jackson. Simona is knowledgeable, warm and passionate about the subjects. Really fun, educational experience with the perfect guide, who created the 'game'. Highly recommend Simona who developed this creative tour approach the entire family will appreciate.
Marta was so knowledgeable about all the Percy Jackson books. Our kids, ages 11 and 12, were really entertained by their visit to the Capitoline. A real highlight of our trip!
Our guide Maria made our visit to the Capitoline Museum so entertaining, informative and fun! She had us play adults versus kids and the kids had such a great time beating the adults! There is some reference to Percy Jackson but it is really a tour that talks about the origins of Rome, Greek and Roman mythology...highly recommended!
Marta gave us an outstanding tour of the Capitoline Museum as well as the Coliseum and Forum. She engaged with my daughters (10 and 12) at the right levels, and held her own against my Italian art historian mother-in-law (no small feat!). She expertly navigated the lines so we had minimal standing around. And when we did have to be in line, she engaged with kids to pass the time quickly. Can't recommend her enough!
