It was awesome! We bought the tickets from the guide ( not included in the tour) and the guide Cynzia got the tickets for us in advance and led us a wonderful journey in Vatican Museum, save us a bunch of time from the long waiting queues, which is vital for us. After the whole tour, we were all fascinated by Cynthia’s descriptive words and explanations of the history, even our 5-year-old boy was drawn by her words. We highly recommend the tour and it definitely worth it.

This was probably the best experience I have had trying to teach my kids about history and art - our guide Cecilia was unbelievably engaging for our kids. She had her work cut out for her - my kids knew nothing about the Vatican, the Pope, our Christianity in general! She really focused on the best stories to tell and brought the history to life for them without it being overly forced. Five stars.

We had a fantastic time visiting the Vatican. If it weren’t for our guide, Marcelo, making the tour interesting for our 5 year old we would never have been able to enjoy the visit. Marcelo was great with my son and shared a lot of knowledge with my husband and I. It’s definitely expensive but worth it to be able to enjoy a museum tour with a young child.
