Tour Description
Visit, learn and play around the house of the Pope!
Join us on our tour, where your family will journey through the most renowned art museum in Italy. The Vatican, renowned as the residence of the Pope, also houses a vast collection of paintings and artwork by legendary Italian artists such as Michelangelo, Raphael, Leonardo, and Caravaggio.
During our tour, you will not only marvel at this remarkable collection but also enjoy exclusive access via a special shortcut passage from the Sistine Chapel to the Basilica of St. Peter. Along the way, you might catch a glimpse of the Swiss Guards, safeguarding the entrance to the holy staircase of the former residence of the Pope.
The Pope currently resides in a separate apartment, distinct from the museum and church, which is not accessible to the general public. However, the former papal apartments now serve as a venue for meetings with ambassadors and other distinguished figures from around the world.
The itinerary of our Vatican Tour will show you the most famous and interesting highlights of the Vatican museums (including the courtyard with the giant pinecone!), the Rooms of Raphael, the famous Sistine Chapel ceiling by Michelangelo, his sculpture of the Pietà, and St. Peter's Basilica.
Your family will be accompanied by a specially trained, kid-friendly guide who knows just how to keep young minds engaged and entertained. With interactive activities, games, and fascinating stories tailored to children, our guide ensures that youngsters remain captivated throughout the tour.

CAN WE BRING BACKPACKS ON TOUR?
Vatican authorities are very strict with the use of backpacks. Sometimes some distracted visitors hit the artworks with them. Thus, they require you to check them in at the entrance locker rooms of the museums. This is not convenient because you have to walk all the way back after the tour ends to collect them. We suggest not to bring them. Bring a small purse or simple bag. Also do not carry umbrellas on tour.
