Our tour guide, Alessandra, was excellent with our 8 year old son and with us. We did a tour of the Vatican, and she was very knowledgeable and was able to give both our son AND us a fulfilling experience. Tours with Kids did a great job communicating with us and being very clear of what to do and what to expect. Alessandra was prompt and had special activities for our son to do while learning about the Vatican. We would absolutely use them again.

Kevin H. — United States We did the Vatican and Sistine Chapel kid-friendly tour with our two kids (ages 6 and 9) and it was one of the best parts of our Rome trip. Our guide made the museums come alive with stories that kept the children engaged the whole time, and we never felt rushed. Skipping the long entrance lines was such a relief!
