  • Sistine Chapel

    Imagine your children immersed in rich tradition and ancient wonders with a local English-speaking guide who makes learning fun.

Sightseeing can be overwhelming for children when it involves waiting in boring lines to see places and artifacts they don’t understand. On this tour, your children are the center of activity. With privileged, reserved admission to historic sites, there is no boredom or fidgeting in long lines. You’ll be escorted through the Vatican Museums for the thrill of a lifetime. Children will engage in conversations about the fascinating history of Roman civilization. Through the works of Michelangelo, Raphael, da Vinci, Caravaggio, and a host of other artists, your family will become acquainted with what it was like to live in ancient times, as an artist, a parent, a child, or even an emperor or soldier.

This was amazing!!!

Published on Jun, 2024

This was a wonderful experience. Our guide, Tomaso, was amazing. He was so friendly and informative. He helped us navigate the crowds and we were able to bypass the lines. The Sistine Chapel is a must see. Tomaso was very knowledgeable and made our tour fun. We choose this tour because it was listed as family friendly. We were a family of 10 travelling with two children (3 & 4). It did not disappoint! Tomaso was patient and made sure we didn't miss anything.

Amazing guide

Great Kid-Friendly Tour of Vatican City!

Published on Jan, 2024

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.

An amazing experience but the crowds were insane

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…

The best tour experience with children, we all love it!

Published on Jul, 2023

Sarah was amazing. She engaged since the very beginning and during the whole tour, with my 9 & 6 year old boys. She was also very knowledgeable and considerate of their ages asking questions and teaching them history and fun facts as if they were playing. Thank you Sarah it was a wonderful experience for the whole family!
