Tour Description​

Our St. Peter’s Basilica and Dome Tour For Kids is a fun and engaging way for the whole family to experience the Vatican.

Watch out: getting to the top of the Dome is not for everyone, as it can get tiring and claustrophobic at times. Be sure the views are worth the climb though!

In fact you'll have Rome literally at your feet. 360 degrees of beauty that leaves anybody speechless.

After spotting the best landmarks of the Eternal City from the sky, you’ll keep exploring the Vatican with a fully personalized and kid-friendly tour of St. Peter’s Basilica.

Your expert guide will share the secrets behind the Burial of Saint Peter, Bernini’s Baldachin and Michelangelo’s Pietà and will answer all your questions about the history of the Popes and the Vatican State.

Leaving the Church, gripped by all this beauty, you’ll be welcomed in Saint Peter’s Square by stunning statues of the Apostles, Saints and Martires dominating the façade of the Basilica and Bernini’s Colonnato.

This tour is particularly loved by families with kids as it lets the young explorers have fun in climbing the Dome instead of squeezing them into the crowded halls of the Vatican Museum.

Are you ready for all this magic? Get on board then!

Important information​
  • Elevator available for a part of the Dome ascent. You must still climb approximately 300 steps to get to the very top. If there are seniors, disabled and claustrophobic people in your party we suggest they wait downstairs at the Cafè area as the staircase is tight and the steps are rather steep;
  • St. Peter’s Basilica is an active church and can be closed unexpectedly for liturgical ceremonies or unforeseen circumstances;

  • Entry to the Basilica is permitted only to appropriately dressed visitors (low cut or sleeveless clothing, shorts, miniskirts and hats are not allowed);

  • Any visitor to the Basilica is required to get through security checks. This can lead to queues in crowded dates;

  • Itinerary and duration can be customized according to your needs;
