THE BEST EXPERIENCE THAT THE CHILDREN HAVE TAKEN FROM ROME - Last week we went with our children of 12, 10 and 8 years old and, although they loved Rome, without a doubt this activity was what they liked the most and the best memory they have with them. ELIANA was a magnificent "coach". Although she did not speak Spanish, the children understood her perfectly in Italian. The first thing they do is show you a very special museum. Especially since they can touch everything and try on helmets, shields, spears and swords. And this is the best thing for children, a museum where things can be touched and tried and where they can give you simple and logical explanations. We learned a lot about legionaries and gladiators. Afterwards, you are dressed in a gladiator's tunic and taken to the training ground, where you warm up and are taught sword movements. After training, we go to the amphitheater where, with music included, you simulate a real gladiator fight. The whole family participated and, in addition to learning the basics of fighting with the sword (I had no idea), it really was the best. It's not difficult to get there. It is best to first visit the Catacombs, which are on the same road. Then, a bus takes you from door to door. We spent a total of about 2 and a half hours. Afterwards we took the same bus that left us at the Circus Maximus and there we were able to enjoy that place with its virtual reality.

Excellent Gladiator Experience - Our experience at the Scuola Gladiatori Roma today was excellent. Xavier, our guide, was exceptional. He made the tour very informative, asked us questions to better understand how much we knew about Gladiators and we had the opportunity to wear some of these soldier's helmet and weapons. The fight training 💪🏾 was a lot of fun. Thank you for your guide.
