Discover the Vatican with your family on an unforgettable private tour crafted especially for kids! As one of Rome’s must-see attractions, the Vatican is home to breathtaking treasures, including the world-renowned Sistine Chapel and St. Peter’s Basilica. While exploring such a vast landmark can be challenging for young visitors—especially with its 7 kilometers of galleries and bustling crowds—our priority access and expert, kid-friendly guides ensure an engaging and seamless experience.
Your journey begins with fast-track entrance, providing a smooth start into the vast expanse of the Vatican Museums. As you make your way to the Sistine Chapel, you’ll encounter remarkable works by Michelangelo, Raphael, Botticelli and other masters. Our guide will tailor the experience based on your children’s interests, making art engaging and accessible through personalized explanations. To further enhance their experience, children will receive a specially designed activity booklet that highlights the Vatican’s most captivating masterpieces, guiding them to uncover secrets and anecdotes, capture key art details, and decode the mysteries of the Sistine Chapel in an engaging and enriching way.

One key highlight of your visit is the Gallery of Maps (Sala delle Carte), a stunning 120-meter corridor adorned with 40 frescoed maps in shades of blue and green. These maps depict the regions of Italy and the Papal States as they were in the late 16th century. Children can trace historical borders, marvel at the beautifully adorned ceilings, and explore Italy’s rich geographical history.
For those interested, we can also include a visit to the Gallery of the Carriages (Galeria dei Carrozze). Here, your family can marvel at the opulent papal carriages, ceremonial vehicles, and even early Popemobiles, offering a unique glimpse into the history and tradition of the Vatican.
The pinnacle of the tour, of course, is the Sistine Chapel. Michelangelo’s frescoes on the chapel’s ceiling, including the iconic ‘Creation of Adam’ and ‘The Last Judgment’ on the altar wall, are among the most celebrated masterpieces in the world. While guides cannot speak inside the chapel due to its sacred nature, your guide will provide engaging context beforehand, ensuring your family can fully appreciate its significance and beauty.
The tour concludes in front of St. Peter’s Basilica. Renowned for its grand dome designed by Michelangelo and its breathtaking sculptures, such as the Pietà, it stands as one of the largest and most significant churches in the world. Your guide will share historical context and highlight key features before you enter, allowing you to appreciate the basilica’s grandeur at your own pace. This experience, enriched by our activity booklet, will create memories your children will cherish for years to come.
With our personalized approach, we transform the Vatican into a captivating and memorable journey tailored for your family.

The Sistine Chapel requires absolute silence, meaning neither you nor your guide can speak or provide explanations inside. Photography is also prohibited. However, your time inside is not limited, allowing you to fully absorb its beauty at your own pace. Thanks to their activity booklet, children will get a unique insight into the chapel’s breathtaking artwork.

During the summer months, the Vatican Museums and the Sistine Chapel can get quite hot and crowded, as they are not air-conditioned, which can make visits challenging, especially for kids. For a more comfortable experience, consider booking an early morning tour starting at 8:30 AM—contact us for details (additional fees may apply). Alternatively, visiting later in the afternoon, roughly three hours before closing, can offer a quieter experience.
We recommend this tour for children aged 6 and above, as reading and writing skills will help them get the most out of the interactive activity booklet. That said, our kid-friendly guides are experienced in making adjustments to engage younger children as well, if needed
We provide fast-track tickets to help you skip the long entrance lines. However, please note that on particularly busy days, there may still be a queue for mandatory security checks, which cannot be bypassed.
The Basilica, like all religious sites, is free of charge and does not require a ticket. However, due to the Jubilee, it may be closed at certain times or become very crowded. Your guide will provide detailed explanations from the outside, after which you may enter on your own. You are welcome to stay inside St. Peter’s Basilica as long as you wish, but please note that re-entry to the Sistine Chapel and the Vatican Museums will not be possible.
Yes, the Vatican is accessible for both strollers and wheelchairs
Absolutely! While the guide won’t use the game booklet for them, they will tailor their explanations to captivate and engage your teenagers throughout this private tour, designed to involve the entire family.
