Skip The Line Vatican And Sistine Chapel Tour For Kids And Family

Very knowledgable and friendly guide helped us get much more out of our time - and kept our 10-yr old daughter engaged throughout the process! Skip the line tickets are very useful since there is an incredibly long line otherwise. One thing I didn't realize is that this ticket is for Vatican only and does not cover St. Peter's Basilica for which there is a separate queue, and we didn't have skip the line tickets for it since we didn't know about this separation. This was somewhat disappointing, and it would have been good if this were clearer.

Julia was fantastic in her explanations and lots of little quick facts. A very knowledgeable guide. We skipped so much time in queues which was a saviour for our 4 year old daughter. Would highly recommend!

Our guide Martina was amazing! We were a family of 6 two parents two grandparents and two teenagers ages 13 and 16. She spoke excellent English and was patient and attentive and guided us so well with so much good information along the way about what we saw.

Our guide was knowledgable and savvy at getting us through the crowds. He engaged really well with the kids (aged 10 and 12) so that it was a memorable experience for them and us. . He followed the lead to explore further the questions the kids had which was very thoughtful in terms of engaging their interests. I was a little disappointed that he did not come into the Sistine chapel and St Peter’s Cathedral with us, but I believe they try to keep guides to a minimum due to crowds. I’d highly recommend, however it was very expensive though, and I can’t figure out why the cost was so high.

Amazing tour! Great communication for meeting point-we were through ticketing and security in 6 minutes. We loved this tour for that reason alone as we saw ppl lining up around the corner before we arrived. The information was perfect for our kids 14, 13 and 9. My husband and I were able to ask other questions and the guide had endless knowledge and fabulous stories to share. We could not rate the tour higher. Thank you so much!

We had an excellent time with Martina our guide. She was knowledgeable, fun and engaging. Travellled wuth 13 and 15 yr old. We were very lucky as tour group ended up just being our family. She was able to guide us through the maze of people an direct our attention to some of the most interesting sights with clear explanations. Would highly recommend

Our tour guide was fabulous. Very knowledgeable and made it fun and engaging for our kids. She knew all the tips and tricks to take short cuts in line. I felt like we really saw and learned so much about the Vatican, Sistine chapel, and St. Peter’s basilica. Worth the money!

Donato was an incredible tour guide! He brought to life all this is the Sistine Chapel and the Vatican City and was able to focus, educate and energize our children while giving us the most thorough and enjoyable tour. We absolutely loved our time with him and would recommend him to anyone interested in the Vatican or anywhere in Rome. He was simply amazing!

Valeria was the perfect guide, bringing to life the stories behind the art and the artists who created it. She engaged the kids on a “treasure hunt” that kept them enthralled throughout the tour. Highly recommend the private small group tour!

Donato was a great guide for kids (11 & 13 yo) and adults alike. Kept the kids interested with questions and challenges, while expertly navigating us both to all the highlights, and around all the lines.

Our son and I had a short trip to Rome and I wanted to minimize lines. I knew he would mutiny in a long line and a standard tour. This tour met my needs and more. There was no line. Our guide, Martina , was easy to find. She was knowledgeable and engaging for both of us. Her pacing was excellent and our son enjoyed the tour. 10yo could ask questions about what interested him in the museum and Martina was great to answer them and provide great info for me as well. All the while, I could also enjoy the museums and church without rushing because anyone was too tired or too bored—he was tired at the end, but he enjoyed the tour and wasn’t ready for it to end.

An excellent experience. The tour guide was amazing. She held the attention of a mixed family of 11: ages 5-70 despite 98 degree temps. Very knowledgeable. Worth the money.

Our tour guide was wonderful and we really enjoyed having a private tour. Very informative guide and memories to last a lifetime.

Maria was fantastic. She engaged the kids and got them excited and kept them interested for over two hours. She was patient, kind and perfect for young kids (mine are 6 and 8).

Best tour of our trip. We have 4 kids, with a wide age range. The guide was able to keep them all engaged and entertained while still being informative for us. She was interactive and engaged the kids with questions. Had a “competition” between the kids and adults that the kids loved, especially when they got to beat their parents.

This was my kids favorite experience in Rome and that says a lot. Maria was our tour guide and she kept us all engaged for the entire tour. My kids are 12 and 14. We learned so much and all had a great time. I would highly recommend this experience.

Simona was a fantastic guide and we were so glad to have booked this tour with her. The scavenger hunt and games she had for the kids were perfect, and kept our 11 year old boy (who is always bored) engaged the whole time. Her command of the history and ability to tell stories is truly impressive. I was not thrilled with how expensive it was to see the Vatican like this, but it was worth it. The Vatican was crazy crowded and I honestly don’t think we could have done it on our own without a lot of stress and wasting a ton of time. We learned so much more and got so much more out of it by doing the tour with Simona. I would do it again.

One of the most informative and engaging tour guide who was passionate about Michaelangelo! Thank u!

Simona was a wonderful guide. She was so engaging and made the experience captivating for my kids (9, 11). I loved all of the history she provided.

This tour was the highlight of our stay in Rome. I took my 10 year old niece with me to do some city sightseeing and we were impressed with the high quality of the tour. We had Marco who was professional, fun and well-prepared in terms of games and quizzes. Each activity was informative and although it was designed for kids to get a better understanding of the Vatican, Sistine Chapel and the Catholic Church in general, it was also enjoyable for myself. The great part was definitely the skip the line tickets which saved us a lot of time as we heard others complaining about a 1 or 2 hour wait. We both thoroughly enjoyed the tour and highly recommend it to other families. It was a great way to entertain a 10 year old, help her learn more about the history and an experience she won't forget.

Colosseum and Forum Romana are such magical historical sites ! The skip the line and most importantly child friendly guide were very well worth the money! Guide was very well prepared with all kind of stuff, quizzes and riddles to keep the childrens’ (and parents) attention all the time. Would highly recommend it to families with children

It was a very hot day. I booked the family one for my kids and it didn’t keep there attention. I would have liked more of a kid friendly tour. It was very hot and the guide talked way to much.

Our guide was Rossella and she was wonderful! She studies art history and is a devoted, passionate, knowledgeable and personable guide. She is also a real pro at navigating your small group through the throbbing crowds. We were a family of 4 with 2 teenaged boys (one with Autism, thus the need for a private tour) and our experience couldn't have been better. Highly recommend this tour and in the end it is a good value!

From the outset Marco, our guide, gently guided us through the vast Vatican. He was very knowledgeable, able to answer all my questions. I am a student of history and political interactions and he was able to fill in the gaps I had while keeping a very overtired 7 1/2 year old interested. Though he prepared us for St Peters with all the frescoes, I think one could spend many visits each much longer than time allowed to digest the totality of the story and subtle messaging in Michelangelo’s works. If you can request a guide by name I would recommend Marco regardless of your knowledge level.

Our group of 11 family members with 4 granddaughters ages 5-8 thoroughly enjoyed this tour. Our guide, Allesandra was wonderful and engaging with the children. She also provided many facts and answers for the adults in our group. The no waiting in line quick access to the Vatican museums was great as there were huge lines of people waiting to enter.

We visited the Vatican with a 13 year old and a 10 year old. Alessandra was our tour guide and she was simply wonderful. She made the tour so interesting and she kept our sons fully engaged throughout. It was so well worth it skipping the line as it was probably a 2 hour wait at least otherwise. I would highly recommend!!

We needed a tour that would capture our children’s imagination and concentration (they are 8 and 12) but also inform and educate all of us. Giulia was absolutely fantastic in providing the perfect balance in this regard and we would recommend this tour to anyone of any age.

<p>As the entrance to the Vatican was full of people, finding a guide Simona was difficult, but she found us. The Vatican has a precious collection. As it is a special place, we recommend that people with children in particular guide you. We participated in Kids and Family Tour. The boys were two teenagers, but the tour guide Simona was very enthusiastic to explain, so the kids enjoyed themselves very much. The children started fighting on the way, but she was very calm and perseverance guide. We were able to hear stories about various precious collections from her.　Thank you very much!</p>

<p>What an amazing afternoon! Our guide was fantastic. Very friendly, kind, knowledge and so wonderful with my children. I highly recommend this tour.</p>

<p>Our guide,Ambra, was amazing knowledgeable and friendly and great with kids. Would highly recommend her.</p>

<p>Skipped the lines. Great guide. Great tour. This is highly recommended.</p>

<p>Serena was an amazing guide. Not only was she knowledgeable but she was wonderful with my kids. They were very comfortable with her and she brought nice goodies for them including an activity book that she created. Highly recommend.</p>

<p>This tour was excellent and I would highly recommend it to all. Our guide was great with the kids and was very knowledgeable. I would recommend private tours as the guide was able to provide history and answer our questions directly. She was also vary patient as we had two kids and an infant in our group of 7.</p>

<p>This was an awesome tour. Maria was our guide and again she was awesome. She was waiting for us at the assigned meeting location which was provided to us with a photo in advance. She spoke excellent English, she engaged the kids in our group, had a vast amount of knowledge about what we were seeing and shared it with our group in an interesting manner. We would highly recommend this excursion to anyone wanting to see the Vatican without waiting in line and with getting the most out of what you are seeing by having someone explain it all to you. The Sistine Chapel is absolutely amazing as was the Vatican Museum and St Peter's Basilica.</p>

<p>Our guide, Rosaria, was great. She was very knowledgeable, which my husband and I appreciated, and she made the tour interesting for our 8-year old twins. She also helped us carry our stroller with our baby in it up and down numerous staircases. This was the only way our family could have seen the museum and Sistine Chapel -- it would have been too difficult otherwise.</p>

<p>This trip was perfect for our family! Our guide, Francesco, made the Vatican very interesting for my family. The Vatican is a challenge under any circumstance because it is crowded. But Francesco managed to make it not seem crowded and kept our attention. My youngest had a book we love Mission Rome which includes scavenger hunts in all the major sites. Francesco helped him with the book and made it even more fun. I would also recommend paying the extra afterwards to go into the top of St Peters. It was cool to do.</p>

<p>Francesca was a wonderful guide. She made the museum come to life for us and the kids (5 and 7). It was a huge day for us- did coliseum and forum in am, but kids hung in there. This is honestly the only way to go!</p>

<p>Me and my 11 years old son are not fun of walking tours, but taking this private Vatican Tour was the best choice we made in Rome. Thankfully, we had a wonderful guide: Francesco. He could not have done a better job! Francesco really knows his stuff, and his enthusiasm helped us to understand what we were looking at. He kept us interested and engaged with a game we played during the tour, asking us questions and rewarding us with points and cute little souvenirs.We had such a fun afternoon and the time three hours flew by! I cannot thank Francesco enough for creating happy memories for us. Thank you!</p>

<p>In January 2017 I have booked this amazing kid-friendly Vatican tour for me and my 10 years old grandson: terrific! I really cannot say enough about the experience: our guide's Francesco English was perfect and he really did engage me and the child with stories, treasure hunts and competitions. He used a tablet to show images and to give us a detailed and fashinating explaination of the Sistine Chapel. He also rewarded us with little prizes and souvenirs which throughout the tour. We only wished that we had booked him for the rest of our Roman holiday!</p>

<p>We had terrific tour of the Vatican with Maria! The tour was engaging, entertaining and we have learned so much! Treasure hunts, competitions and games turned this tour into a fun experience. The guide was also able to explain ancient art and mithology referring to the Percy Jackson series, and my kid loved it! A perfect balance of history, art and fun! Thank you very much! We will recommend this tour to everyone travelling with kids.</p>

Debería ser más entretenida para niños Lo único que le dieron fue una hoja para poner su nombre en egipcio. . En lugar de ponerle cosas divertidas del Vaticano o capilla . Esa hoja gerogluficos es la que dan en louvre que hace sentido por el tamaño de la parte egipcia Mi hijo me dijo que fue aburrido , y por el precio no vale la pena
