Guides are a wonderful way to explore and learn about a new destination.
Not all guides work well with children and it is important to find the few options
that offer customized tours and programs just for families. We are in the process
of scouring the web for kid-friendly guides in the top family markets.
The first destination we're covering is Italy! Stay tuned as we add more
destinations and resources over the coming months.

Rome Private Guides was created by licensed guides with vast experience and in depth knowledge of Italian history and culture. They are experts in designing tours specifically for children, teens and their families. Each tour is customized based on individual interests and ages. We effectively enhance the learning of our young and adult travelers through the use of the iPAD's great 3 dimensional cultural programs, as well as age appropriate books with detailed overlays and other tools to make their time in Italy a truly memorable experience. We are not only guides, we are parents with many years of experience working with children. Rome Private Guides is a quality, full service guide and travel company with the highest standards. Although we are based in Rome we offer our services in Florence, Naples, Venice, and throughout all of Italy, including Sicily. Please contact us to learn how we help you create lasting memories of your time in Italy.
"Rome Private Guides far surpassed our expectations. Viviana made all our arrangements, while visiting Italy, we had lots of fun filled sight seeing with learning.TheVatican tour for kids, and the Baroque Rome, were some of our favorites, the best part was that we did not have to wait in line!
Thanks again Viviana for a job well done." Rita, Cancun, Mexico
"We wanted a guide who could relate to an older child but also keep us entertained and interested as well. She was able to do that and really connected with our grandson. Viviana exceeded our high expectations; we were enchanted by her within the first few minutes. We were able to see so many more sites and learn so much about Rome and its history in just two days with her that we could not have accomplished in a week on our own. She made Roman history come alive." Suzanne, Coronado, CA

Context Travel's Family Program brings children
(and their lucky parents) into the museums and
monuments of some of the greatest cities, and makes
these places come alive through hands-on learning.
We recognize that children learn differently from
adults: They ask different questions, notice different
details, and connect with culture and art in different
ways than their parents. Our family program embraces
these differences. Designed by a museum educator and
guided by our many years' experience working with
families, the walks in this program draw on the
latest approaches to on-site learning to craft
amazing experiences for parents and their children.
We currently offer our family program in the following
cities:
Madrid,
New York,
London,
Paris,
Rome,
Florence,
Venice, and
Naples.
"Our docent employed many visual aides in making his points. His passion and enthusiasm for the art contained in the Vatican museum was infectious ... even to the boys." Jerome, Pittsburgh, PA

"My experience, from start to finish, was perfection. I searched online for many hours and found Nancy Aiello Tours to be the most personal, professional and prompt of all the tour companies I contacted. This tour was the real deal. It wasn't a cliché tour where a guide tries too hard to create a silly "la dolce vita" experience. It also wasn't a tour where we were simply ticking off famous locations. It was thoughtful, rich, beautifully paced and the best thing we did in Rome." Kate, San Francisco
"My sister, girlfriend and I took a Nancy Aiello tour that consisted of an afternoon of cooking with Frederico and Stefania.We had a fantastic afternoon with Frederico and Stefania. They were able to combine simple recipes, terrific flavors, fantastic cooking and wine pairing with a knowledge of the history of Rome, both in cuisine and architecture.
It was a highlight of our trip!!" John, Boston, MA

I have lived and worked in London since my early 20's first as
a Town Planner and then as a Teacher of English as a Foreign Language!
After having time off to be a mum, I trained for two years to be a
Blue Badge Tourist Guide, the highest guiding qualification in the U.K.
If working in conservation and architecture and meeting students from all over
the world wasn't enough, my new career as a guide has made me fall in love with
London all over again! It is a fabulously rich, diverse and multi- layered city
that has been 2,000 years in the making and is getting ready to host the greatest show on
Earth, the Olympic Games! Let me entertain you during your stay, with stories about it's
history, culture and all the famous personalities that have lived here...let me show you my London!
