Private Kids Florence Discovery Tour

We appreciate the service you provided.  While it was expensive, it was worth it.  The skip the line feature at the Vatican and Coliseum was quite the time and sanity saver.  We had our 4 and 6 year olds with us and we knew they would have a limited amount of energy for sightseeing.  We didn’t want to waste it in line.  Plus, it was quite fun walking past all the people who had stood in line for 2 hours.  We only had 2 full days to spend in Rome and would not have seen and done as much as we did without our tour guide.  Our guide was Catia and she was wonderful.  She was patient with our kids.  She was very personable.  She gave us a background and history of the places we visited and pointed out things regular sightseers wouldn’t notice.  We enjoyed our time spent with her immensely.  At one point, our 4 year old was tired and cranky and hungry for Nutella.  Catia remembered there was a place nearby that had a Nutella pizza and called ahead to confirm.  That pizza was probably our kids’ favorite meal in Italy and it averted a major meltdown.  We were appreciative of Catia’s thoughtfulness.
It’s difficult with small children on a regular tour as they have their own special needs and pacing, but having a private tour with Nancy Aiello was the way to make everyone happy.
I would most definitely recommend Nancy Aiello Tours to my family and friends.  We saw and experienced more than we would have in Rome than under any other circumstance.  We were quite pleased with the experience.
I googled Rome for children and you were recommended in several travel sites and blogs.  We looked at your website and saw that a couple of your tours looked exactly what we wanted.
Thank you.  We were very pleased.

Our experience with Nancy Aiello Tours was the highlight of our trip to Rome. Our guide was really knowledgeable and able to adapt and please us (the parents), a 17 year old boy and a 7 year old girl. Which is asking a lot!! She made the day interesting and fun! I feel we learned things that we would have never found in a large guided tour or through audio or guide books. It was great that she was able to navigate around long lines and bring us to the places that were of interest to us. We didn’t have a lot of time before our trip to make plans for our stay in Rome, which was fine because you did everything for us. It felt like we were out with a friend showing us Ancient Rome, just happened that that friend was extremely knowledgeable!
Would definitely recommend Nancy Aiello Tours – really worth it if you are busy and don’t have the time to do a lot of research before traveling (which you need to do as there is so much that Rome has to offer). Fantastic for kids as it wasn’t just a lot of information thrown at us but it was information that all of us found really interesting. Our guide was able to lead us and answer questions about what we found interesting instead of just throwing facts our way. My son said it was the highlight of his trip to Rome and my daughter is telling everyone all the things that our Guide told her!!

Our time in Rome was fantastic! Suggested itinerary was great for the 2 days we used your services – a perfect mix to keep everyone in our party interested and engaged despite the fact that we ranged in age from 10 to 76! Our tour guide was amazing!!I cannot say enough about her. Took extra care to include and point out things to ensure that our youngest son, (Kevin age 10) had a wonderful time!! Kevin wants to know when he can go back and attend gladiator school! The grandmas also thought she was fantastic. My mother in law has done a great deal of traveling in the 10 years that she has been retired — in fact, she has covered most of the globe by plane, train, car and ship and she said that our guide was the most informative tour guide she has ever come across!! English was perfect (much better than ours) and her Italian was beautiful. choices of lunch spots gave our group a true taste of Roman food. My husband initially asked me how we were going to cover everything you suggested in 6 hours each day, but we did and never felt rushed. children fell in love with Rome and want to know when we will be going back! made sure they threw coins into the Trevi Fountain. The drivers were great (they were different each day) and accommodated my Mother on the stops she skipped due to her limited mobility. The Mercedes vans were very comfortable. It was great to be able to walk into every site we visited without having to wait in line only regret was that we had only 2 full days in Rome. Services are excellent and I plan to tell everyone how wonderful your company is!!
