Excellent tour!

Michelle_B, Dec 2023

Donato gave an amazing tour of the Vatican for our family of four. He was EXTREMELY engaging to my two sons (ages 10 & 12). One of my sons has ADHD and was having a rough day behaviorally due to a train strike in Rome. Donato was soooo patient with him and altered his tour time and time again in order to help my son to be engaged and focused. Donato was just amazing and we will always be grateful. Donato also answered any question my family presented him with. He is extremely knowledgeable and explains new concepts with ease. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him to anyone looking for an informative tour for children. My husband and I found him to be fascinating as well. Excellent experience for sure.

Must do with Kids when in Rome

If traveling with kids and you’d like to visit the vatican museum and the Sistine Chapel, this is a must. There’s just so much to see that giving kids context and make it lighter really helps.

If you are on the fence, book this tour!

We splurge on a private tour with the hope that our 12 year old would get interested in the history and appreciate the art. Alex was excellent with him, engaged with visuals and games and by the end we all learned new history and had a better understanding of the importance of the Vatican. Highly recommend this tour for families. Alex did a great job keeping all of us engaged with thoughtful questions and conversation.

Perfect for families with kids

This was the perfect way to visit the Vatican with a family. Our kids (8 and 5) loved our guide, Anna. She made the entire experience fun and informative for the kids while also engaging with the adults. The “skip the line” tickets alone were worth it, but Anna made this visit one our kids will never forget.

An excellent option for a quaint experience at the Vatican

Our experience was positive from the very start, as our host was already waiting for us at the entrance. It was raining that day, so seeing her at the head of the line (which we skipped entirely) was a great comfort.Throughout the tour, she was very explanatory and patient with us. This was important, as we had a 2 year old infant in our party. Our host was extremely knowedgable about the entire Vatican. We would recommend this tour to anyone.

Parfait en tout point
