Resurfacing this thread for an update because I used it before our July vacation to Rome. It was either this thread or another thread where someone recommended Rome4Kids tours, and we used them and they were GREAT. We did three different tours three different days and all three guides were highly educated, great English speakers who gave my kids a lot of attention and were deeply knowledgeable about the sights we saw. All three of them were women around my age, some of them were moms, and they were so kind and understanding with my sometimes grumpy teens (mostly because of the heat).

Also, I totally get the snobbery about tours, but I have to say this felt like the high-end route actually - we had a private guide everywhere we went and all of them knew how to get us in quickly - the front of the line of the front of the line. The golf cart tour sounds cheesy (and I thought it would be) but it wasn't at all, it's just another little open car on the crazy streets of Rome. It didn't have a tour company's name on it or anything. We had read advice to do the golf cart tour our first day because we would be jet lagged, and it was perfect - they just scooted us around the city and it was a perfect introduction, and the guide and driver were fun to be with.

Just a little follow up and rec for Rome tours! Do it!
