Bizarre Things To Do in Rome
A fun, family tour in the Italian capital filled with surprises
- WITH
- Paolo | about the guide
This family-orientated tour is an ideal way for children of every age to discover some of Rome’s wackiest monuments. Using adapted words and concepts, the specially trained guide will encourage your children to learn interactively. At Piazza della Bocca della Verità, you’ll encounter the Mouth Of The Truth, a kind of lie detector. Will you be brave enough to put your hand inside and take a picture? Or are you worried about those little white lies? At Aventine Hill, take a peek through the keyhole to find out what’s on the other side. It’s a surprise, we can’t tell you any more! Up on Gianicolo Hill, on the other side of the River Tiber, prepare to be deafened by cannon fire. Is the city under siege? Just remember to cover your ears. At the Capuchin Crypt, there are bones, bones everywhere. You’ll come across the skulls, vertebras, thigh bones and shoulder blades used to decorate the “Bone Church”. But, don’t worry, it isn’t as scary as it sounds.

Originally from Rome, I was an archaeologist for more than ten years before deciding to set aside the dusty books and archives and work with people, using my skills to show Rome to the incoming visitors. I have always loved being in contact with people and this change of career makes me really happy. On the side, I have also been a cub scout leader for 5 years and I enjoy working with families, children and teenagers alike. One of my favorite moments is when I see children's eyes lighting up and when they ask interesting questions during my tours. I also love bringing my clients to local places to enjoy some food and drinks. It is always enjoyable to break the ice and get to know each other. My speciality as a guide is Ancient Rome but I also like to talk about the Baroque and Renaissance periods of the city.
