5.00We did three tours with Alessandra, our tour guide, and I cannot recommend all of them enough!! The Vatican tour was very impressive, and again, both adults and kids learned so much while having fun and gathering points during the games we played. Alessandra is incredibly knowledgeable and passionate about sharing what she knows.
Wonderful Family Tour with Claudia!

5.00We had such a great experience on our Private Vatican & Sistine Chapel Tour for Kids & Families with Claudia. She was so nice, kind, and patient with our children, making the visit fun and engaging for everyone. Her explanations were easy to follow and full of interesting details, and she gave the tour a truly personal touch. We all had a wonderful time and would highly recommend Claudia to any family visiting the Vatican!
Definitely do this if you are planning a trip to Rome with kids!

5.00We did both the Vatican and Colosseum tour with our 5 and 7 year old. Sara and Julia were both so awesome. They really brought these historic marvels to light and engaged the kids in such a great way. I would 100% recommend doing if you are planning a trip to Rome, it makes these places with such deep and fascinating history come to light and the tour guides are incredibly knowledgeable while also being great with kids.
Wonderful tour for the family

5.00Claudia our lovely guide was fantastic. Born and bred in Rome. She gave as much information as she can in such a short time we were there. Our kids loved the time when they were there. It was just the right amount of time. When we go back to Rome, no hesitation to use the service again. Thank you Claudia and Elisa for organising the tour.
Family friendly

3.00I really enjoyed the tour and my kids were very involved and enjoyed it as well. My only concern is that the listing says the tour was 3 hours long and it was only 2 hours, for the price I would have expected the entire 3 hours.
This tour is a must to skip the line and not deal with bored kids! Book it!

5.00This tour was perfect for our kids! It was fun and engaging, plus you skip the long lines that for us was a must! The guide was very patient and knowledgable. We will book another tour with them once we come back to Rome , our kids still talk about Claudia.
An amazing day in the Vatican with children!

5.00We had an amazing day with Adelaide! Elisa helped us with the booking months before and on the same day of the tour always pending from us, exceptional The Adelaide tour was great, it's hard to keep a 7-year-old in our case attentive to so much information, walk through a crowded museum and then enter a place like the Sistine Chapel without losing interest and she managed it He always found stories to tell as a tale to make it very entertaining, making him very curious in our little girl. The tour was at our pace what is appreciated and was extremely interesting! You can't miss it! Everything was in perfect Spanish so everything totally understood and there was very good connection with it!
Amazing

5.00We booked the private Vatican tour for our family of 8 (5 adults and 3 kids under 7). Valeria was fantastic! She made sure to include the kids so they enjoyed the tour as much as the adults. We stayed on schedule and were able to skip several lines. She even took us to see the carriages / vehicles that the Pope rode in over the years. This was a hit with the kids. Valeria was great with them. It was hot and she made sure we were able to get water for the kids and stop for a short break. I definitely recommend Valeria and this tour company!
