About this tour

Make the Vatican a captivating family outing on this 150-minute Rome Kid-Friendly Vatican Tour with Sistine Chapel. A professional art historian guide brings the museums’ remarkable collections to life with an engaging, family-focused approach, so adults and children can explore together.

Follow the route through the Galleries of Tapestries and Maps and Raphael’s Rooms, then visit the Sistine Chapel when it is open.

How this score is calculated

This score is based on one provider. Viator rates it 4.86 from 7 reviews. We place that rating among all Viator ratings and weight it by its review count. If the tour is found on another provider later, both ratings are combined.

How the score works and rating distribution in Rome
  • Each provider rating is turned into a percentile: the share of that provider's ratings it beats, weighted by review counts.
  • Listings on different providers are combined in proportion to their review counts.
  • Tours with few reviews are pulled toward the average until more reviews come in, so a handful of perfect reviews can't top the list.
  • The result is shown from 0 to 10: this tour scores 7.2. Top 48% in Rome means it ranks in the top 48% of tours in Rome by this score.
