Here's what Amazon customers have to say about Mission Rome.

'A fantastic book. We visited Rome for 5 days and this book ended up being far more useful than any of our guidebooks. My 8-year old loved this, as did I.' - Deborah S. Anderson

'This is a must have series for those of you traveling with kids! My 11 year old had such a great time in Rome using the book to find all the items at each location. Best of all our oldest son was home on college break and it was so great watching him help her hunt for the items at each location. That was priceless! I love that not only are these great for the kids but that I learn new things as well.' - Mrs. B.

'My daughters (ages 7 and 9) are so excited to use this when we go to Europe...a terrific idea of having the kids earn a certain number of points for each landmark they find, with the goal of getting to 100. Highly recommend!' - DLS87

A lifesaver for our trip to Italy!!

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on August 22, 2022

This book kept our 10 year old so engaged during our trip to Italy. We spent hours in museums because she was determined to get all the points. When we had free time in cities, she asked to work on more points, so she could complete the mission. Such a lifesaver, it was really perfect for her and us! Highly recommend!!

So fun! We could not have toured without it.

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on April 25, 2016

Our 3 kids, aged 5, 8 & 9 were so thoroughly enthralled with this book, it completely made our trip. My husband said we could not have been there without it. The kids were leading us to sites, excited to go to the next one, and we were all learning fun facts. We all made up spy names as directed and when our jet-lagged cranky kids woke up from a nap, rather than whine around, they got themselves ready and said, Let's go to Trevi Fountain, we need some more points! At the Coloseum, another mom asked me where I found the book keeping my kids so in tune. It easily bought us as the parents, extra time at each of the sites we visited, more than we would have had before meltdowns otherwise. If anything, we were getting tired out from finding all the facts -- and we went to 2 more sites than we had planned to visit just because the kids wanted to keep up their missions. We broke the spine of it from over-use on our 3rd day! I recommend this to families of all ages. We did not book guided tours at many of the attractions and this filled the gaps of giving the kids the very basics of each site (much more than they would've lost attention). My younger ones needed help reading, but this is probably good through tweens/young teens. We will definitely look for more of this series in other cities.

Loved this book!

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on May 31, 2020

Our 7-year-old had an opportunity to travel to Rome with us, but wasn't that excited because he didn't know what to expect. We were so thankful to find this book -- it helped him learn about each of the places we visited by making it into a game. We spent time reading ahead to where we would visit next to be sure we knew what to look for. Having a bit of an understanding of each location in advance ensured that he was engaged in each location. He had a blast, achieved his 100 points, and is eager to travel again. Plus, as a parent, I appreciated that we could achieve the mission without going to every location in the book and that there were some activities where we could award the amount of points we wanted. We will absolutely purchase other books in this series for future travel, and I recommend it to anyone traveling with kids.

Basically Indispensable

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on April 18, 2016

If you have tween kids and are heading to Rome, this book is a godsend. Let's face it, churches and museums aren't that interesting when you're a kid, but this book's "missions" are just comprehensive enough to keep an 8-11 year old occupied at most of the city's famous sites, while not overwhelming him or her with information. Our daughter is 9 (and 1/2, as she reminds everyone) and has been racing around the city trying to amass as many points as possible. We definitely have seen some things that I doubt we would have without the information in this book. Take, for instance, the obelisk in the Piazza della Minerva around the corner from the Pantheon. Do you know what animal is supporting this particular obelisk? Neither would our family, if not for Mission Rome!

While seemingly designed for tweens, I think this book would also be a great buy for slightly older or younger kids. The older ones might act like they're too cool, but I'm betting they'd get some useful information and amusement from it while the younger ones would definitely enjoy it, perhaps just a bit less independently from their parents.

We love Mission books!

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on July 9, 2017

Verified Purchase

Mission Rome is the third "Mission" book our family has completed (last summer we completed Amsterdam and Paris). We traveled with four children, ages seven to twelve. The Mission books give the kids a sense of purpose when we travel and distract them when they get cranky. We use metro rides or lunchtime to preview the next area that we're headed to and read the information in the book. I'll admit that occasionally the adults have to pull their interest in, but we motivate them to find all of the points with promises of gelato. They get pretty excited when they find what they're looking for. I appreciate how the books painlessly weave learning into the tasks so the kids are picking up a little history as they go. We only wish that there were more Mission books available.

I couldn't be happier with this book!!!

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on April 24, 2019

Verified Purchase

we went on a 2 week European vacation where we saw/did A LOT!!!! we were worried that our son would get very bored while we looked at all the museums and history and such. these books (we bought one for each city we visited) were a God send!! He read the book on the way there to prepare for his "hunt" then he was very attentive to EVERYTHING around us, looking for his clues, monuments, etc. At one point, he even told us some facts that he learned from the book that we didn't know! To the makers of this, PLEASE write more for other places, I LOVE THESE!!

An excellent book, we used this on a family vacation

An excellent book, we used this on a family vacation. It ended up being our #1 guide to Rome. It had lots of great info and the kids were really motivated and excited to explore and learn more about the city. Great size, it's not too big, it fits in a bag and is light enough to carry around. My only piece of feedback would be to include a map in future editions. We've used these books for other cities too and will definitely use it again if we go somewhere new.

We recently took this book to Rome and it was an excellent way to get my children to look around and spark their curiosity. My only recommendation would be to include a map of the area with each “Mission” marked so the children can help plan the route for the day.
