Built for Families Exploring Rome

  • Your child leads the adventure

    Instead of passively following adults from site to site, children take charge of the experience by following clues and solving challenges throughout each trail.

    So instead of asking, “How much longer?” they're asking, “What's the next clue?”

  • Start anytime, explore at your own pace

    Download the app and start your mission in minutes. No schedules. No groups. No rushing. Every mission is self-guided, so Rome fits around your family — not the other way around.

  • Easy to use

    The app guides you every step of the way. Simply follow the clues, answer questions and let your child lead the adventure. No guidebook, map-reading or complicated planning required.

What People Are Saying

  • "We had such a great time following the TrovaTrails Heart of Rome adventure with our kids! It was a lifesaver - they had fun & we learnt loads of quirky historical facts. We loved the way the trail led us around interesting parts of the city & even told us to stop for a gelato & bathroom break. We can’t wait to try TrovaTrails in another city soon - fingers crossed!"

    — Parent review on the App Store

  • “My kids normally hate sightseeing. They began whinging that they didn’t want to do another tour. But with the TrovaTrails app, they were soon on the hunt for clues and by the end, they loved it so much they asked if they could to it again! We were a big group and even their grandparents enjoyed it. A fun afternoon for the whole family!”

    – Ana Helena, Mother of 6 and 9 year old

  • "My kids LOVED finding the clues – it was the driving force for the whole tour. TrovaTrails really brings the museum alive; we all saw details we would have missed otherwise, and it’s invaluable to have a clear route in such a large museum.”

    —Kristen, mother of 7 and 9 year old

  • "A great app that makes touring Rome fun and educational, for kids and the rest of the family too!"

    — Claudia, mother of 10 amd 13 year old

  • " This app strikes an engaging balance between treasure hunting and teasing out details and facts about Ancient Rome. 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!"
