Reviews for Kids-Friendly Fun & Educational Sistine Chapel & Vatican Fast Access Guided Tour
Very Knowledgeable
Eric_N
Sarah was patient and flexible as our kids got a little tired halfway through. Lots of great info presented with photos, books, iPads, etc. Only recommendation would be headsets for the full tour.
Great experience!

Great experience. Got there early and avoided much of the crowds. Our guide was engaging, especially with our 9 and 11 year olds, spending the perfect amount of time explaining what we were seeing. Definitely recommend!
Wonderful private family tour by Sara
Kristine_S
Sara was an amazing tour guide! We were able to quickly pass through entrances and take our time once we were in each area. She did a great job of answering questions and making it child friendly.
Treasure hunt in the Vatican

As a working archaeologist, our guide, Tomasso “Tom” was incredibly well informed and knowledgeable. He also made the tour for our family engaging and fun. He really engaged with both our children (16 and 9 years) and their areas of interest such as the Roman mythology. He sent the younger one on treasure hunts - who knew there were chihuahuas in paintings in the Sistine chapel? We all agreed it was a highlight of Rome and the depth of information and ease off access made it well worth the price for a private tour. I recommended the tour to my sister whose family also enjoyed it. Thank you!
So hard for guides to calibrate

Our guide was wonderful... however, our child was hot, tired, over it from the start.... so we just needed the very abridged version. It's so hard for guides to deviate... even though this was a private tour - just for our family. She was very knowledgable... and the Vatican is amazing!!! however, being a Child's tour- improve skills are necessary.
