You meet your guide near Vatican City and with skip-the-line access the kids will be delighted, no queuing! Put your belongings in the Vatican cloakrooms and head straight for the museums.  Throughout the visit there will be lots of games to play to keep the children occupied and there are prizes to be won; all the time the children will be learning about the wonderful artworks in a fun and exciting way. We know the kids will be amazed by the Greek and Roman statues and the sarcophagi of the Empresses Helena and Constantina, the mother and daughter of Constantine the Great.   There are lots to see in the Galleries of Candelabra and Tapestries but we know the kids will love the Gallery of Maps.   They also can’t fail to be in awe of the massive canvas in the Sobiesky Room and the amazing colors of Raphael’s Rooms. The tour then arrives a perhaps one of the most well-known chapels in the world.  The Sistine Chapel is where the elections for the new Pope takes place and is decorated with Michelangelo’s wonderful frescoes depicting The Last Judgment.  No talking is allowed inside, so before you enter your guide will tell you a little about the creation of Adam and other biblical stories that are to be seen represented in the frescos.  The final part of the tour takes you to the magnificent Saint Peter’s Basilica.  The kids will have some fun spotting the statues of  Saints and past Popes. At all stages on this tour the kids will be fully engaged, learning whilst having a fun time.  The whole family will be involved in the quizzes, scavenger hunts and other games.  Your guide can customize the experience to suit your particular family needs.   The tour ends in Saint Peter’s Square next to the taxi ranks and bus station.  Time for home and to reflect on a wonderful stress-free tour!
