READ CAREFULLY: 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.
The Basilica is not included since it is not accessible from the Museums due to the Jubilee
This is a private tour/activity. Only your group will participate

Best Tour Guide ever!

Christine_T, Jun 2024

Our tour guide (Francesco) did a wonderful job of engaging our grandchildren (10&12). We all had a great time and learned a lot. He was excellent at explaining what we were going to see Before we saw it. We were able to appreciate so much more of the artwork as a result.

Response from Host, Jun 2024

Thank you Christine! Glad you had a wonderful time with Francesco :)

Vatican City tour with chdren.

The tour guide was friendly but did bot really engage with the children very much. It also felt a bit rushed at times and not much information was given about things. It did not feel like value for money, feel like it would have been better valur going independently and using an audio guide.

What an experience to share!

Cameron H, Nov 2019

Anna was an incredible tour guide, keeping our children (10 and 8yo) engaged throughout. The information provided was interesting for all of us, and she adapted her information to the kids’ interests. We are over the moon to have been able to share such a positive experience of the Vatican Museum with the kids, as we were expecting them to be bored after 30-60 minutes. This certainly didn’t happen. When the kids tired, Anna drew them back in with her passion and knowledge. Thank you.

Amazing experience with superb guide

Amazing tour. Guide was the best we have ever had anywhere in the world. Speaks English fluently and makes things fun for kids. Excellent price as well. My hats off to Francesco and Tom.
