Rome with three generations, including my 84-year-old mother
A six-day Rome for a family with kids under 10 and grandparents over 80. This is what actually worked — including the taxi driver we hired for the whole week.

The story
Marta covers the Rome family plan: the hotel with connecting family rooms + a lift big enough for a wheelchair (Hotel Vilòn near Piazza Navona), the Vatican time-slot that avoids queues with kids (07:30 opening + guided family tour), the accessible Colosseum route, and — the trip-saver — a taxi driver named Massimo who accepted a flat €140/day to be their driver from 09:00-19:00 all six days. No sightseeing pressure, no restaurant reservations at 22:00, no adult drinking narrative. Just a family trip that actually worked.
