Tour Description
Waiting in line doesn’t get easier with age, and the Vatican Museums and Sistine Chapel have some of the longest lines in Rome. Thankfully, by taking our Vatican tour for kids, you can skip them all and gain more time to explore the Vatican’s vast collections. Your private kids-friendly guide will keep your kids gripped as you move at engaging, exciting pace throughout the museums. We’ll visit the amusing Popemobile – the Vatican’s answer to a Batmobile. We’ll marvel at the Vatican’s Egyptian mummies in the Egyptian Museum. Then we’ll meet some marble (not Marvel!) heroes in the Gallery of the Candelabra. This tour is ideal for kids between the ages of 9 and 12!
Adults don’t miss out either as we explore the Vatican Museums collections
Your private Vatican Tour for Kids combines the collection’s eye-catching stuff with its enrichening highlights, making it perfect for kids and adults alike. Along the way, we’ll visit the Gallery of Tapestries where the mindblowing designs and scenes will leave your kids aghast. We’ll also explore the Gallery of Maps – always popular with kids – which shows how those before us viewed the world around them.
No Vatican Tour for Kids would be complete without visiting the Sistine Chapel
Kids are always fascinated to learn how Michelangelo created this masterpiece in just four years – and while lying on his back! Our specialist guide will enrich your knowledge of this pièce de résistance of western art while simultaneously making the Sistine Chapel a kids-friendly experience. As well as teaching them about history and religion here in the center of the Christian world, your guide will gamify the experience for them, turning it into an Old Testament Where’s Waldo, to ensure their Vatican Tour for Kids is one they’ll never forget.
This 3-hour tour does not include St. Peter’s Basilica. If you would like to add St. Peter’s Basilica to your itinerary, kindly let us know and we will add one hour to your tour for an additional fee.
