This is a tour for everyone in the family to enjoy – a private 3-hour tour of the Vatican and Sistine Chapel. Designed with children in mind there is skip-the-line access so no waiting in queues! It is an interactive tour that we are sure the children will love as they learn about the magnificent art collections housed in the Vatican Museums. There are visits to the famous Raphael’s Rooms and the Gallery of Maps as well as of course the Sistine Chapel to see Michelangelo’s Pieta and finally the breath-taking Saint Peter’s Basilica.

There are games for the kids to play and prizes to be won whilst exploring the wonders of the museums. You will see Greek and Roman sculptures and the sarcophagi of Empress Helena and Constantina, the mother and daughter of Constantine the Great. The tour takes you through the Gallery of the Candelabra, Galley of the Tapestries, Sobieski Hall and much more.

Then of course the most visited place within the Vatican, the Sistine Chapel with Michelangelo’s “The Last Judgment” and frescoes depicting Bible stories including the Creation of Adam. The Sistine Chapel is still very much in use today and is the place where new Popes are elected.

The tour is designed to encourage the active participation of the children and your guide will ensure that the tour is customized to make it a unique family experience, full of wonderful memories. Your tour ends in Saint Pater’s Square, next to the taxi and bus station.
