Highlights

  • If you are here and would like to have a piece of the history of the ages, it is our pleasure to take you through time in order to see all the magnificent art, architecture, and artifacts that reside within Vatican City. If you are traveling with children and want to find something they can both learn from and enjoy, do not forget our child’s guide – it provides a great way for children to be entertained during their exploration.

Full description

For families seeking the delights of the Vatican, a guided tour would be the most appropriate choice, not only to uncover its entirety but also to keep your children excited during this 2.5-hour experience. On the other hand, you will surely have some fun hearing stories that have been concocted about these masterpieces while receiving further details on how they were created, where they resided, and how they ended up here, in Rome. The guides are assigned based on every family’s needs and preferences so you don’t need to worry about that part; one is sure to be ideal for your group! The journey starts at the Vatican Museums’ entrance where your guide awaits you after arranging priority access tickets.During these amusing and instructive events, such as historical games, storytelling, scavenger hunts in the Vatican Gardens, Gallery of the Carriages, and Gallery of Maps, your children will get to know history by traveling back to antiquity. If you are lucky enough to visit the museums during some time off from school visits, with their long lines that can take hours, if not more, for this unique experience, ending up at St. Peter’s Square.

Includes

  • In the domain of the Vatican Museums, we have tours designed for both professional needs and family settings, equipped with guides and headsets for groups of 6 or more people. If you are planning a family trip to the Vatican Museums, consider our special kids’ scavenger hunt divided into two age groups: 3–6 years old and 7–12.

Not includes

  • Admission to the Vatican Museums, which must be paid for in cash upon arrival, is included. You may choose to tip your tour guide if you’d like a lesson about the dome and not just a tour of it; your wishes will be respected. Refresh yourself with water and snacks between site visits. In addition, should you choose this option, hotel pickup or drop-off, or even both options are available for a nominal fee that is added at the time of checkout.

What to bring

  • Passport
  • An important feature that a pair of shoes can always help you with is, for example, when you have to go for long walks or spend the whole day on your feet.

Not allowed

  • I know you need the wrapping material to be soft and make use of lightweight fabrics. Try choices such as cloth diaper pins or metal clasps.

Know before you go

  • Note that you have to pay the entrance fee by yourself, and you will also be charged by the guide at the end of your tour. The Vatican Museums halls are approximately four miles long, through which we tread paths on different stairways leading to each item located in diverse galleries. Please take note that upon entering Vatican City, no bare shoulders or knees are allowed; violators would be asked to leave without a refund.
