Very bad and worst experience ever had being in shillong

The staff out there are good for nothing. They waited me down for no reason as i told my family to go and order and i was at basement parking where i was calling my family and they told me that the eeco car which was blocking the parking is of ours,(Deja-Vu) and will let you park the vehicle but i waited for half and hour than came the driver to give me parking but by that time my daughter and wife was already down and the dinner got messed up. Do not gave fake promises to the guest who comes to your property with high expectation but i suggest to all that these people fake us and make us wait sometimes with order and sometimes with parking.

Highly recommend this tour!

Hands down one of the best experiences for our family during our trip to Rome. This brought to life all of the other sightseeing that we did through the storytelling and interaction. Highly recommend this for anyone with children, or exposure to the Percy Jackson's books, or an interest in mythology. Our guide Donato was great at engaging my older kids, and teaching us all new things.

History can be fun !

We were traveling in Rome with 2 kids (8 and 10 yrs), parents and grandparents. This was hands-down our best tour experience. Our tour guide Danato was fun, engaging, and kept the kids attention for the entire 2 hours. We all learned a ton & have fun doing it. Would repeat this tour in a heartbeat.

higly recommended, a truly great experience!!

This tour is just the best, we had so much fun and learned a lot about art and culture and Roman history. The Percy Jackson context made it both exciting and familiar for our daughter. Alessandra, our tour guide, is very knowledgeable and fun; you can feel that she loves what she is doing. It was a true pleasure to be in this tour with her!

This was a great tour for...

This was a great tour for our 11 year old son who is a Percy Jackson and mythology fan. He's not typically into museums but Donato made this experience incredibly engaging and informational. I would highly recommend this tour for families with kids who love Percy Jackson and who may not always be into museums.

Percy Jackson Tour for Kids at the Capitoline Museums of Rome with Special Guide: questions travelers ask

Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Rome.

How much does Percy Jackson Tour for Kids at the Capitoline Museums of Rome with Special Guide cost?

+

Prices start at €59 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Rome usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

How long does Percy Jackson Tour for Kids at the Capitoline Museums of Rome with Special Guide take?

+

Plan for about 2.5 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Rome is not rushed.

Is Percy Jackson Tour for Kids at the Capitoline Museums of Rome with Special Guide worth it?

+

It holds an Outty Ranking of 71 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 29 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Rome, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

Can I cancel or reschedule Percy Jackson Tour for Kids at the Capitoline Museums of Rome with Special Guide?

+

Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

Is Percy Jackson Tour for Kids at the Capitoline Museums of Rome with Special Guide suitable for kids and families?

+

Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 2.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

How far in advance should I book Percy Jackson Tour for Kids at the Capitoline Museums of Rome with Special Guide?

+

Around 10 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Rome can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

What should I bring or wear?

+

Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Rome and add a light layer if any part of the 2.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

Where does Percy Jackson Tour for Kids at the Capitoline Museums of Rome with Special Guide start and how do I get there?

+

The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Rome within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

What are the best things to do in Rome?

+

Rome runs on skip-the-line access. The Colosseum underground, the Vatican before opening, and the catacombs south of the walls all require a licensed operator, and the price gap between the good ones and the rest is smaller than you would expect. We rank by guide credentials, group size and how reliably the promised access actually materialises. On Outty we rank every Rome experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Rome Pizza & Gelato Class with Wine by Cooking Italy, Rome [4in1] Pasta Making_Tiramisù_Wine Tasting_Secret Cellar, Rome Pasta and Tiramisu Class: Ravioli, Fettuccine & Fine Wine 5*. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

When is the best time to visit Rome?

+

April, May, September and October. August is hot and half the city is shut. Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

How many days do you need in Rome?

+

Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

+

Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.

What is included in Percy Jackson Tour for Kids at the Capitoline Museums of Rome with Special Guide?

+

Included: Local guide; and Kid-friendly professional guide. Not included: Food and drink; and Gratuities. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
