We loved touring the Vatican! It was so amazing and overwhelming at times but our tour guide made it a wonderful experience for our family. Our boys stayed engaged from beginning to end. It is a busy place but we worth the crowds. The museums were a great way to ease into the day with things building from there. The Sistine Chapel was amazing and I was grateful that they don't allow photography because it forces you to take it in and not focus on taking pics (which won't do it justice anyway to why bother). Our guide gave the boys things to look for in the Chapel so that kept them busy. And St. Peter's Basilica was overwhelming in size and detail. Definitely something anyone going to Rome needs to do at least once.

Our your guide Amber was knowledgeable, engaging, kind, and gracious. We were traveling with two children and my toddler had a meltdown in the the museum. She did all she can to make sure we had what we needed so the kids would be comfortable and engaged.
The place was an absolute zoo and it was terribly hot…
