What makes Private Family Tour – Vatican Sistine Chapel St. Peter’s for Kids a unique experience ?

This Private Family Tour is a fantastic way to get kids excited about history, and a fun experience for the entire family! This kid-friendly Vatican tour includes highlights of the Vatican Museums, the Sistine Chapel, St. Peter’s Basilica and some gems, such as the pope’s carriages, added exclusively for the little ones. The Museums can get quite crowded, so along with all the major must-see highlights we feature child-friendly rooms so kids have the time and space to be curious and ask questions. The children will have fun marveling at the tricky Momo’s Staircase while following clues in their activity booklet.
As the children solve puzzles and riddles, your guide will take the opportunity to tell you stories of what it is like to live as the pope in Vatican City, what it was like to be an artist during Michelangelo’s times and how some of the world’s masterpieces came to be. Other highlights include the Pinecone Courtyard, Octagonal Courtyard, and Gallery of the Maps.

Of course this tour also includes Michelangelo’s incredible masterpiece – the Sistine Chapel. There have been plenty of interpretations of Michelangelo’s Sistine Chapel and plenty of stories which have been passed down over the centuries. It is our mission to continue passing down these stories to the next generation of art lovers. And we are using fun to do it! Look up at the famous ceiling and spot the five errors in the activity booklet!

Your comprehensive Vatican tour concludes with VIP entrance directly into St. Peter’s Basilica without standing in the long lines. Walking through the Basilica, you will learn all about the secrets of the magnificent and ornate decorations, sculptures, altars and chapels. Visit Michelangelo’s Pieta and walk down the main nave to admire the dome he designed that sits on top of the largest Catholic church in the world.
