Full description
Your guide will meet you near Vatican City. Then, skip the ticket line at the entrance of the Vatican Museums.  If required, you can store any belongings you may have in the Vatican cloakroom before the start of the tour. Throughout your tour, your children will join in games and win prizes whilst discovering more about the Vatican’s collections. Marvel at the multitude of ancient Greek and Roman sculptures, as well as the sarcophagi of Empress Helena and Constantina, the mother and daughter of Constantine the Great.  Next, move through the Gallery of the Candelabra, Gallery of the Tapestries, Sobieski Hall, and the sumptuously decorated Raphael Rooms.  Then, enter one of Italy’s most popular attractions, the Sistine Chapel, which is still in use, primarily for the papal elections. The chapel is home to Michelangelo's 'The Last Judgment' and other frescoes depicting Biblical stories, such as the creation of Adam.  From the Sistine Chapel, continue to the most important Catholic church in the world - Saint Peter’s Basilica. This tour is the perfect way to explore all that the Vatican has to offer, as well as keep your children entertained and engaged, as they have fun and learn. Your family will love teaming up to solve quizzes, participate in treasure hunts, and much more. Your guide will personalize your tour, creating a unique experience for your family. Your tour ends in Saint Peter's Square next to the taxi rank and bus station.

Our tour guide was amazing! He was so knowledgeable and kept it so fun for my kids. Skip the line was absolutely worth it because it would have been a 2.5 hour wait to get in. Tom answered all our questions, was personable, fun and helped us when our daughter got sick during the tour. Would highly recommend this and Tom!

Francesco was a great guide. He kept the kids attention with interesting stories and history. He hit the major spots. We all learned from him. It was a HOT day and he always made sure to find shade or get some waterS. We had so much fun!! I highly recommend this for kids. Ours are age 10 and 11 and they loved it!

Tomaso was beyond exceptional. He is extremely knowledgeable (archeologist too) and amazing with our children (11 and 8 years old). He asked our children to run around and find certain things in each gallery. He would also tell us history of the Vatican and St. Peters while our kids were on their scavenger hunt. This was an amazing experience and enjoyed every second. Worth every penny!
