About

Crown Tours is one of Rome's most exceptional family tour operators — and the numbers back it up. With a remarkable 4. 9-star rating from over 12,000 reviews, Crown Tours has established itself as the gold standard for guided experiences in the Eternal City.

This level of consistency across such a massive volume of reviews is extremely rare and speaks to the quality and professionalism of their guides.

For families with children ages 6 and up, Crown Tours offers an unparalleled way to experience Rome's iconic sites — the Colosseum, Roman Forum, Vatican Museums, Sistine Chapel, and more. Guides specialize in bringing history to life through storytelling, myths, and age-appropriate narratives that genuinely capture children's imaginations. Kids who might otherwise glaze over at ancient ruins end up buzzing with excitement after a Crown Tours experience.

All tours include skip-the-line access to major attractions, which is invaluable for families with children who can't easily stand in line for hours. Tours are thoughtfully paced and can be customized based on children's ages and interests. Request a family-focused guide when booking for the most tailored experience.

Book as far in advance as possible — Crown Tours is extremely popular and slots fill up weeks ahead during peak season.
