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 3-hour, 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.

  • 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. 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.  The final part of the tour takes you to the magnificent Saint Peter’s Basilica.  The kids will have some fun spotting the statues of  Saints and past Popes. At all stages on this tour the kids will be fully engaged, learning whilst having a fun time.  The whole family will be involved in the quizzes, scavenger hunts and other games.  Your guide can customize the experience to suit your particular family needs.   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!

In case of such events our tour guide will provide you with a valuable alternative focusing the tour inside the Vatican museums.

    Francesco gave us an amazing tour of the Vatican museum, Sistine chapel, and St Peter’s Basilica. He engaged our children, aged 9 and 11, throughout, asking them questions and making them feel really involved. His enthusiasm was contagious and we all really enjoyed our time with him.

    We loved this tour and it was great for our whole family of 7 with 2 adults and 5 children (ages 16, 14, 12, 9, and 6). Francesco was easy to meet up with, explained things very well, and made the tour interesting for the whole family. We highly recommend this tour.
