Trova trails

Unfortunately, we only learned about this app a few days before our trip to Rome ended. We did three of these, and wish we would’ve done all of them. In particular, we paid like $400 for a kids tour of the Colosseum and I think they would’ve had more fun doing this for free (the Colosseum one is free). My girls are aged 6 and 10, and absolutely loved it. Bring a charger for your phone though because it will be used the whole time.

Worth the in app purchases to save time on thinking about how to navigate colosseum with the kids

This is THE app to have on hand to make your travel experience with kids in Rome amazing. Fun for adults and youngsters alike, you will love seeing Rome in a whole new light.

A great app that makes touring Rome fun and educational, for kids and the rest of the family too! Highly recommend it for both tourists and Rome residents.

This app strikes an engaging balance between treasure hunting and teasing out details and facts about Ancient Rome. I think it’s fun for young learners that might otherwise be put off from the overwhelming amount of information and material remains. They will come away from this experience with a new appreciation of history and archaeology!

We found this app to be so engaging for kids of various ages. No longer do you need to beg the tour guide to curtail their shpiel for the younger ones. This great app keeps kids entertained and no one is constrained by starting times and meeting points.

This app is perfect for visiting Rome with kids. Great trails which are fun and informative

As a parent who has visited Rome with young kids as a tourist and lived as a resident in Rome with young kids as well, I can say that Trova is a great way to engage them with Rome’s often overwhelming cultural and historical treasures. By breaking down experiences into a fun and well written, well structured game with lots of easily digestible and very interesting and accurate facts, it makes an easy go of what might otherwise be chaotic visits during which a parent who hasn’t studied Roman history in depth might struggle to explain to kids what they are seeing. The pacing and time needed to finish each experience are just right.

Completed two of the five trails with kids age 11, although they found some of the clues easy to solve they were engaged and motivated to answer the questions correctly. I highly recommend it for the fun and for the knowledge gained while answering the questions.
