Vatican Tours For Kids | You start with skipping the line entrance to the Vatican Museums and the Sistine Chapel and then to a fast track entry to St Peter’s Basilica. This will cut waiting time drastically and allow your children to explore the Vatican without stress.
Our private guides have tried and tested many tours with kids, and we assure you this is one adventurous tour to remember a lifetime. Our guides have the skill to share information that can be very dry and boring and turn it into something fun and exciting. We will pique the curiosity of the kids and while they’re having fun, they will learn fascinating facts about art in history. In the guides, we’ll use modern technology to keep the children engaged such as iPads.
The kids will learn about the Popes, about Vatican City, the Romans the Greeks, and even the influence of the Egyptians by entering the Egyptian Museum and viewing some of the most fascinating artefacts ever discovered. In the Round Hall, the kids will see the huge bathtub of emperor Nero and discover what the path is made of.
Vatican tour for families | No Vatican kids for the tour is complete without these 3 galleries – Candelabra Gallery, Gallery of Tapestries, Gallery of Maps. Our private guides are trained to use simple language so that children understand the art and history of Rome without being overwhelmed by technical jargon.
