Great tour for kids

5.00We were with Donato, and he was an excellent guide. Our kids 5 and 7 were tired, but he managed to keep them entertained with his great story telling and scavenger hunt. Grown up also learned a lot. Great tour over all, we were very happy!

5.00Our tour guide Tomaso is a local archeologist and a fount of knowledge. His tour was very insightful, well organized, and engaging for our 11 year old son who is not typically into art or museums. Very easy access into the museums and a great overview of this giant collection. Definitely recommend!
Great experience for the kids

5.00We had Cristiana as our guide at the Vatican. Our tour was clearly focused on providing a good experience for Kids, and Cristiana did a great job engaging our kids with photos, stories and games. She also created the pace around their attention span and patience, which was much appreciated. Her picture card scavenger hunt helped the kids locate art and images within the museum. Great option if you’re going with kids, who don’t “love” walking around museums.
It was a fantastic way to...

5.00It was a fantastic way to experience the Vatican. We would not have been able to manage without Alessandra. She made it interesting and engaging for all of us. Children were aged 11 - 6.

5.00Excellent tour for the family. Guide was very knowledgeable and entertaining. It was a highlight tour type, but the kids were engaged throughout the experience.
Best experience! Thank you Bruno!

5.00Our guide Bruno met us promptly and we immediately were immersed in the history behind the Vatican walls. Bruno was engaging, enthusiastic, very knowledgeable, and provided both children and adults with an enjoyable experience (even in 100 degree rather with no ac). Bruno highlighted essential parts of the tour that one must not miss when at the Vatican, but also helped cater the tour to our children’s likes, inquiries, and interests. They loved playing a game to see which team would earn the most points! Both kids and adults agree this has been the best part of our Roman vacation thanks to Bruno! We would recommend without hesitation and would love to have another tour in the future! My children both said they can’t wait to return to Rome and visit the Vatican museums again with Bruno as their tour guide!

5.00Valeria was beyond incredible! This tour was 100% worth it to us!!!! She shared with us so much history, information about art, the thought processes of the times, information about Greek mythology, Egyptian history, Italian history, Catholic history, and everything in between! Music, art, history, geography, astronomy, Pagen stories, Christian and Catholic stories - oh my my goodness! I am not doing her justice - she knew everything there was to know! She was so AMAZING to our son - though he was sleepy, and he certainly was - he had SO MUCH ENERGY after the tour!!!! We went everywhere, flawlessly! Valeria went through EVERYTHING with us, I mean EVERYTHING - she knows her stuff! She was 100% on for us - and she was truly incredible! We are a family of 3, and she was flexible to make sure we were cool - hot day in Rome when we toured - she made sure we had plenty of water, restroom breaks, all the things we needed as a family. Truly incredible experience! Best tour of the Vatican for sure!!!! Thank you, Valeria!!!!

5.00Martina, our tour guide, was fantastic! She was clear and engaging with our kids (10 and 5-year-old). It would have been a nightmare navigating the Vatican without a guide and with all the crowds.
Donatello is THE BEST!!

5.00I cannot say enough about our amazing experience with Donatello!!! I wish we would have had him for every tour this trip! He is so energetic, fun, entertained my grumpy tired teenagers on day one with jet lag! Amazing personality and super smart and informative! Ask for him!!! He is the best. I would give 100 stars if I could!!
