Itinerary
This is a typical itinerary for this product
Stop At: Vatican Museums, Viale Vaticano, 00120 Vatican City Italy
You meet your guide near Vatican City and with skip-the-line access the kids will be delighted, no queuing! Put your belongings in the Vatican cloakrooms and head straight for the museums. Throughout the visit there will be lots of games to play to keep the children occupied and there are prizes to be won; all the time the children will be learning about the wonderful artworks in a fun and exciting way. We know the kids will be amazed by the Greek and Roman statues and the sarcophagi of the Empresses Helena and Constantina, the mother and daughter of Constantine the Great. There are lots to see in the Galleries of Candelabra and Tapestries but we know the kids will love the Gallery of Maps. They also can’t fail to be in awe of the massive canvas in the Sobiesky Room and the amazing colors of Raphael’s Rooms.
Duration: 1 hour 30 minutes
Stop At: Sistine Chapel, Viale Vaticano, 00165 Vatican City Italy
The tour then arrives a perhaps one of the most well-known chapels in the world. The Sistine Chapel is where the elections for the new Pope takes place and is decorated with Michelangelo’s wonderful frescoes depicting The Last Judgment. No talking is allowed inside, so before you enter your guide will tell you a little about the creation of Adam and other biblical stories that are to be seen represented in the frescos.
Duration: 30 minutes
Stop At: St. Peter's Basilica, Piazza San Pietro, 00120 Vatican City Italy
The tour ends in Saint Peter’s Square next to the taxi ranks and bus station. Time for home and to reflect on a wonderful stress-free tour!
Because of the growing popularity of the current pope Francis and his intense activity in organising mass events in the Vatican some areas might get closed last minute without previous notice. This has already happened this year and can happen again during your Vatican tour: the Sistine chapel and/or the Basilica of Saint Peter might not be accessible. In case of such events our tour guide will provide you with a valuable alternative focusing the tour inside the Vatican museums.

Claudia was absolutely fantastic! She kept our boys (11, 7) engaged and made the tour fun and interesting for them, while still giving the adults lots of great history and information. My mother has some breathing issues and would need breaks after staircases; Claudia would make sure she had a chair for her to catch her breath. Would do another tour with her in a heartbeat!

Maria is absolutely fantastic. We had her 2 days in a row and she kept our 5 year old son engaged and attentive. I wish I could take her all over Italy on our tours!

Having been to Vatican City before, I knew in general what we were going to see, and once again, it did not disappoint. So many times, the guide makes or breaks the tour. Francesco was PHENOMENAL. He turned the tour of the museums, Sistine Chapel, and St. Peter's Basilica and Square into an odyssey for both our kids (ages 10 & 7). He intrigued them with often overlooked details of the great masterpieces they were viewing, and in so doing taught them lots of art history along the way without them feeling "taught" in any way. My husband and I were also quite entertained & educated. Francesco was intriguing, personable, and made the art come alive for all 4 of us - the perfect combination to both educate and have fun while doing so. We would highly recommend both the tour and our guide Francesco.

We did this tour in July and can’t say enough good things. My daughter (8yr) and us adults enjoyed everything about this tour.

My daughter really liked this tour with Angelica our guide. She was very knowledgeable and she may it a great fun for kids! The group was small so it was almost private tour.
