You are in Rome and would love to visit Vatican City but are not sure the children would enjoy it.  Think again!! This is a great 2,5hour, fully interactive tour of the Vatican Museums, the Sistine Chapel and Saint Peter’s Basilica that will keep the whole family fully engaged.  You won’t miss anything.  The wonderful collections in the Galleries of Tapestries and Maps, Raphael’s Rooms and of course the Sistine Chapel.  It has been designed to be a fun, learning experience for the kids but we know the whole family will be captivated.

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. The Sistine chapel 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.

    Vatican Museums

    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.

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.
