You are in Rome and would love to visit Vatican City but are not sure the children would enjoy it.  Think again!! This is a great 2,5hour, fully interactive tour of the Vatican Museums, the Sistine Chapel and Saint Peter’s Basilica that will keep the whole family fully engaged.  You won’t miss anything.  The wonderful collections in the Galleries of Tapestries and Maps, Raphael’s Rooms and of course the Sistine Chapel and the very imposing Saint Peter’s Basilica.  It has been designed to be a fun, learning experience for the kids but we know the whole family will be captivated. Because of the growing popularity of the current pope Francis and his intense activity in organising mass events in the Vatican, some areas might get closed last minute without previous notice. The Sistine chapel and/or the Basilica of Saint Peter might not be accessible. In case of such events our tour guide will provide you with a valuable alternative focusing the tour inside the Vatican museums.

Departure Point

Viale Vaticano, Roma RM, Italy Meet your guide in front of the white gate of the Vatican Museums, below the statues of Raphael and Michelangelo, it is the Museum entrance

  • Vatican Museums, Vatican City, Italy
    You meet your  guide near Vatican City and with skip-the-line access the kids will be delighted, no queuing! Put your belongings in the Vatican cloakrooms and head straight for the museums. Throughout the visit there will be lots of games to play to keep the children occupied and there are prizes to be won; all the time the children will be learning about the wonderful artworks in a fun and exciting way. We know the kids will be amazed by the Greek and Roman statues and the sarcophagi of the Empresses Helena and Constantina, the mother and daughter of Constantine the Great. There are lots to see in the Galleries of Candelabra and Tapestries but we know the kids will love the Gallery of Maps. They also can’t fail to be in awe of the massive canvas in the Sobiesky Room and the amazing colors of Raphael’s Rooms.
    90 minutes
  • Sistine Chapel, Vatican City, Italy
    The tour then arrives a perhaps one of the most well-known chapels in the world. The Sistine Chapel is where the elections for the new Pope takes place and is decorated with Michelangelo’s wonderful frescoes depicting The Last Judgment. No talking is allowed inside, so before you enter your guide will tell you a little about the creation of Adam and other biblical stories that are to be seen represented in the frescos.
    30 minutes
  • St. Peter's Basilica, Vatican City, Italy
    The tour ends in Saint Peter’s Square next to the taxi ranks and bus station. Time for home and to reflect on a wonderful stress-free tour! Because of the growing popularity of the current pope Francis and his intense activity in organising mass events in the Vatican some areas might get closed last minute without previous notice. This has already happened this year and can happen again during your Vatican tour: the Sistine chapel and/or the Basilica of Saint Peter might not be accessible. In case of such events our tour guide will provide you with a valuable alternative focusing the tour inside the Vatican museums.

    Francesco, our tour guide, was amazing! He had our 7 &10yr old captivated for a 2.5hr tour, it actually went so fast we didn't realize it was 2.5hours. Lots of great facts and what to look for in the art work and sculptures. It was our best tour of the trip and honestly best tour I've ever taken. Overall, worth every penny!

    Our guide was very good at keeping the kids engaged throughout the tour even when they were beggining to tire. The only reason we did not give it a 4 star was the tour operators schedule our visit for 9 am but did not have tickets to enter Vatican or a guide until 10 am. This made for a longer morning then desired. We specifically selected earliest time slot to have less crowd and finish quickly. The children were exhausted by the end.

    Claudia was absolutely fantastic! She kept our boys (11, 7) engaged and made the tour fun and interesting for them, while still giving the adults lots of great history and information. My mother has some breathing issues and would need breaks after staircases; Claudia would make sure she had a chair for her to catch her breath. Would do another tour with her in a heartbeat!
