Vatican & Sistine Chapel Skip-the-Ticket-Line Tour for Kids

Sara was an incredible guide, making the Vatican Museums, Sistine Chapel, and St. Peter’s Basilica accessible and engaging. She chose the perfect highlights, blending history, art, and fun facts. Her storytelling brought everything to life, creating an unforgettable experience for both adults and kids. Highly recommended!

Our guide, Serena, was great with our 6 year old... very engaging!

Travelling as an extended family with ages 6-73 I needed to find something that would keep everyone interested and having a good time. After a meltdown 10mins into an unescorted Colleseum visit the previous day, and with temperatures in the high 30s, I was seriously worried about how this tour would go. However, Alex was wonderful from the moment we met her, easily navigating us through the crowds to get our tickets and passport photos checked. Within 5 minutes she had coaxed my shy daughter daughter out of her shell and a few minutes later my daughter was happily following her around and chatting. Alex chose a route including more kid friendly museums and my daughter enjoyed spotting the various animals Alex asked her to find. Alex told us about how different Pope's had added to the Museums and the stories behind some of the statues and art. Alex got us special access to avoid the busiest areas, plus we got to go through the shortcut to St Peter's Basilica. Tour was loved by all ages!

Donato was super sweet friendly knowledgeable and patient! He really made our daughter learn a lot about the Vatican and have fun while doing it as well as the adults too. Also we really appreciated he took special care with my mom especially asking the security and Swiss guard if she could skip some stairs to get to St. Peter’s.

Tommaso was fantastic and a perfect pairing for our family guided tour, as he has two young children of his own. He hit the highlights, was exceptionally informative, and engaged the kids with interesting facts and “can you find the X in this room” challenges. I know you don’t always get the same guide, but if all are on par with him you’ll be guaranteed to have a great time and appreciate the history of what you are seeing.

Wonderful experience with an absolutely perfect guide

Alfons was a great teacher! He was fun and engaging to my entire family. Atmosphere was great and size of class perfect, nice and small. Totally recommend and would love to try other classes. Thank you

The best tour you could ask for- especially with children! Our guide was so kind and bonded so much with the children they wanted a picture with her!
