Private Kid-Friendly Tour of Vatican City and Museums

Go to the Vatican Museums with your guide, skip the lines using your pre-booked tickets, and start exploring.

First stop: a huge collection of ancient Roman and Greek sculptures unearthed over the years during excavations all over Rome.

Your guide will show you the most important pieces like “Belvedere Apollo” and “Sarcophagi of Helena and Constantina,” who are mother and daughter of Emperor Constantine.

After this, see the Room of Animals and Gallery of Candelabra where rare Roman mosaics can be admired next to splendid statues of Diana of Ephesus, Muses, and many Greek philosophers.

Then continue in this tour through Gallery of Tapestries, Sobieski Hall, and Raphael Rooms.

Previously the private apartments of Pope Julius II, the Raphael Rooms were decorated by Raphael and two of his greatest works, The Parnassus and The School of Athens hang here.

Without a doubt, the highlight of any tour of the Vatican is the Sistine Chapel-it is Italy's number one attraction.

You will hear from your guide about Michelangelo's famous frescoes, including The Last Judgment and The Creation of Adam, along with stories showing Moses and Jesus by other celebrated Renaissance artists such as Botticelli and Perugino.

After that, you will visit Saint Peter’s Basilica-the most famous Catholic Church in the whole world housing Michelangelo's iconic Pietà and the tombs of Popes John XXIII and John Paul II.

Just after coming out of the basilica you would walk into the huge Saint Peter’s Square.

From here, see the chimney used to declare a new pope, besides Bernini’s famous sculptures.

After telling some more stories, your guide will say goodbye, giving you the chance to look around the square at your own pace.

This ends well for an great tour of Vatican City.
