Private Family-Friendly Vatican and Sistine Chapel Tour

Totally worth it!

Our guide provided us with insightful information and the skip the line service allowed us to avoid the long lines on a busy day.

Despite the extreme heat, Francesca made our tour delightful & entertaining. Highly recommend.

Best Tour of our Trip!

We booked the private family tour and boy were we happy we did! We arrived 15 min early and Laura was already there waiting! From the moment we met her, she made sure to talk directly to our 8-year-old daughter. The entire tour was done with her in mind which kept her engaged the ENTIRE time! It was so nice to be able to enjoy the tour without a meltdown due to boredom. My husband and I were blown away by the amount of knowledge Laura had about the Vatican. I cannot say enough good things about the tour. It was the BEST tour of our Italian vacay!

BEST Tour Ever….

Cristina our tour guide was amazing!!! So knowledgeable, kind and patient. My 8yr old was not feeling well and was late joining us and she allowed us to wait a few minutes until he got there. She was so compassionate the entire time to ensure he was ok. The tour was perfect for adults but also appropriate for him as she kept him in engaged with a treasure hunt. Amazing tour. She felt like a member of our family. Plus, the Tour company allowed us to add a last minute family member join the tour. Will always recommend them!!!

Awesome tour with Michele!

We were a family group of 16 people ranging in age from 5-76 years old. Our guide Michele was amazing! He kept the 4 little boys engaged by having them "act out" the story of Michelangelo being commissioned to paint the Sistine Chapel and all the drama that ensued. Michele shared enough information to fascinate all the adults in the group too-- several of whom had already been to the Vatican Museums before. We were able to arrange for the tour to start at 8am, which meant that the Vatican Museums were not crowded (even during the "post-COVID" July rush), and we were able to sit in the Sistine Chapel for 10-15 minutes to admire it (with our new knowledge about what to look for and appreciate, thanks to Michele and what he taught us before we went in). Having a guide play games with the boys to keep them happy and engaged allowed all the adults to enjoy the tour that much more, because we could focus on the art rather than behavior management. Everyone agreed that the tour was fantastic and totally worth it! *note: there wasn't a "treasure hunt" or "special prize" for the kids like the description says, but it didn't matter because our guide was so great with them.

Family private tour to vatican

Nariman was so excellent in providing info and keeping our children alert and in erested for 3 whole hours!!!!

My Whole Family Loved It!

We took a multigenerational family trip to Italy last year and did this tour. It was great for the kids but also interesting for the adults as well. Everyone loved it and our guide was the best! She knew so much and was great with the kids. We would highly recommend and we'll do this again with the grandkids someday!

Only way to see the Vatican with kids

I knew my kids were not going to be impressed with visiting museums on their vacation, but this tour was one they really enjoyed. Our guide was engaging and passionate, and the treasure hunt kept their interest up. My husband and I learned a lot and were less stressed since the kids were having fun.

Best tour for kids

This was great! My kids loved the scavenger hunt and we loved actually being able to learn about the museum. If you have children, this is a must.

Bring your kids!

Was nervous to bring our 2 and 7 year old to the Vatican but our guide was perfect with handling our family. We highly recommend this private tour to every family traveling with kids.

Vatican Treasure Hunt was GREAT for my kids!

My kids and my husband and I enjoyed every minute! So fun!

Awesome tour guides

We took 3 family friendly tours ( Vatican, Colosseum and Catacumbs). Our tour guides Loretta, Eleonor and Cristiana were amazing as very knowledgeable. We will definetely use them again.

Wonderful experience on all levels, with all ages!

We felt very fortunate that Brandon was our guide. Unable to Find a Group booking for a vatican tour, we paid a marginal increase to get a tour for our Family of 4 (ages 13, 17 And adults). Brandon speaks 5 languages fluently And is a total art history scholar/addict/nerd. And he is really a wonderful human being. He understood the capacity of the human brain for content, ready to quiz/engage the kids with what they knew from School with out ever their feeling uncomfortable; and balancing educaton with the performance requirement inheirant to the job.

Vatican Tour

This was a wonderful tour! Highly recommended! We had 12 family members, so getting anywhere on time was a challenge. Julia our tour guide, was the best! She was patient with us (as we were a little late getting to the meeting spot). Her kindness was present throughout the entire tour. Her knowledge and passion of the Vatican could be seen by all family members. Any questions we may have had was answered. I would definitely recommend Julia and the Roman Guy for any tours in Italy.
