Annalivia was not at all engaging with the kids and she mostly left out my youngest (7 year old) and focused on my two older kids. Even so, this was supposed to be an “interactive tour for kids” with hands-on activities and the most “interactive” it became was Annalivia asking the kids questions and showing them pages from a kids book on the Coliseum. There was nothing hands-on that the kids participated in. There was no notepad or pen for them to take notes with like we’ve had with other private kids tours this trip. There was no activity at all, and not even a little treat or surprise at the end for the kids like we’ve had with other tours. She had a very dry personality and didn’t speak at all in between portions of the tour when we needed to walk. It was awkward silence. I was also disappointed when we left the Coliseum because I told her I wanted to visit the gift shop, and she replied that I should have told her before…I didn’t even realize we were leaving and that there was no re-entry, otherwise I would have mentioned it before. I booked this tour because of the great reviews on the other tour leaders, and I was willing to pay the higher prices because I thought I was giving my kids a wonderful experience, but sad to say it was lackluster at best. A big waste of time and money.
