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.

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…

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!

Sarah met us at the museum door at exactly the correct time and led us through a 4 hour private tour. She was extremely knowledgeable with respects to the art and history, and did an excellent job af explaining the various sections of the Vatican and St. Peter’s. We had a group of 4 adults and we all give her an excellent rating

This tour was the HIGHLIGHT of our entire visit to Rome. The tour guide was an art historian who was extremely knowledgeable and had many fun facts for my children, (ages 8 and 10) that kept them actively engaged and curious!!!
Our entire family learned so much from her and left so happy with our experience. We did the semi private option, but ended up with the tour guide all to ourselves. It seems like it’s a little pricey, but it was worth every penny, honest! I would do it again in a heartbeat 🏛🇮🇹

Our guide made the Vatican engaging and accessible for our kids. We had young kids (7 and 4) and it was a very hot day. However, our guide was very experienced with how to see the Vatican in a way that keeps the kids interested, energized and happy!
