On this interactive tour, there are quizzes, scavenger hunts and lots of other games for the whole family to take part in; even some prizes to be won!The kids will love the colossal Greek and Roman statues and the sarcophagi of the Empresses Helena and Constantina, the mother and daughter of Constantine the Great. You explore some of the wonderful galleries and rooms, including the Gallery of the Candelabra and Gallery of Tapestries.  The kids will love the Gallery of Maps – the largest collection of Renaissance Maps in the World. The Sobieski Hall has one of the largest canvases in the Vatican – How was it painted?  Raphael’s Rooms are a riot of color.  Why were they painted and for whom?  The kids will love asking questions of the very knowledgeable guide and getting to know more about this magical place.

  • Sistine Chapel, Vatican City, Italy
    Of course, no tour is complete without a visit to the Sistine Chapel, still used today for the conclave to elect a new Pope.  Your guide will tell you all about the Bible stories, including the creation of Adam depicted in the wonderful frescoes that adorn the ceiling and walls. The kids will be amazed at how long it took Michelangelo to paint The Last Judgment. 
    60 minutes
  • St. Peter's Basilica, Vatican City, Italy
    Then, into the magnificent Saint Peter’s Basilica; here you will see another of Michelangelo’s masterpieces, his Pietà, and the children will have fun spotting the statues of saints and past Popes.  
    30 minutes
  • St. Peter's Square, Vatican City, Italy
    The best way to learn is through play.  At the end of this tour both you and you children will have learnt a lot about the Vatican and its treasures.  Your guide can customize the tour for your particular gamily group – just ask!

Great experience. Got there early and avoided much of the crowds. Our guide was engaging, especially with our 9 and 11 year olds, spending the perfect amount of time explaining what we were seeing. Definitely recommend!

Sara was an amazing tour guide! We were able to quickly pass through entrances and take our time once we were in each area. She did a great job of answering questions and making it child friendly.

As a working archaeologist, our guide, Tomasso “Tom” was incredibly well informed and knowledgeable. He also made the tour for our family engaging and fun. He really engaged with both our children (16 and 9 years) and their areas of interest such as the Roman mythology. He sent the younger one on treasure hunts - who knew there were chihuahuas in paintings in the Sistine chapel? We all agreed it was a highlight of Rome and the depth of information and ease off access made it well worth the price for a private tour. I recommended the tour to my sister whose family also enjoyed it. Thank you!
