What to expect

Your guide meets you and hands out a list of animal details to track down as you walk between sites. You'll stop at major piazzas and buildings, searching architectural elements and sculpture—it's part treasure hunt, part visual literacy lesson. Kids sketch what they've spotted whilst your guide connects each find to Roman artistic practice and myth. The final hour shifts indoors to a neighbourhood café where you'll paint or draw your favourite discoveries on paper with supplied materials. Expect active walking, frequent stops for close looking, and genuine conversation rather than monument-ticking.

Good to know

Prams and strollers work fine on Rome's main streets. Pantheon is viewed from outside only. Public transport stations are nearby if you need breaks. Wear comfortable shoes. The rain plan keeps activities moving—you'll still hunt and complete art indoors without cancellation.
