  Vatican Museums

  This Private Family Tour is a fantastic way to get kids excited about history, and a fun experience for the entire family! This kid-friendly Vatican tour includes highlights of the Vatican Museums, the Sistine Chapel, St. Peter’s Basilica and some gems, such as the pope’s carriages, added exclusively for the little ones. The Museums can get quite crowded, so along with all the major must-see highlights we feature child-friendly rooms so kids have the time and space to be curious and ask questions. The children will have fun marveling at the tricky Momo’s Staircase while following clues in their activity booklet. As the children solve puzzles and riddles, your guide will take the opportunity to tell you stories of what it is like to live as the pope in Vatican City, what it was like to be an artist during Michelangelo’s times and how some of the world’s masterpieces came to be. Other highlights include the Pinecone Courtyard, Octagonal Courtyard, and Gallery of the Maps.
