With four young children, we wanted to find a way to tour the Vatican and still keep them engaged. We booked through Rome Treasures and it was the perfect way to see the Museums and the Church! Our tour guide was amazing. He was extremely knowledgeable and gave us some wonderful insight. For the kids he did a scavenger hunt style tour which was perfect. They even got a prize at the end. It was really the best value for our money as well. I highly recommend booking a tour through Rome Treasures.

Discover a new, original way to visit St. Peter's Basilica thanks to our family-friendly treasure hunt.
You and your family will compete in games and activities created by your local guide and “hunt master”, to interests all the participants .
Learn about the highlights of St. Peters Square, such as the 2000 years old Egyptian obelisk and the artworks by Bernini. Then head inside St. Peter's Basilica and feel its magical atmosphere.
Admire the richly decorated walls and ceilings, the beautiful statues and the masterpieces of worlds famous artists, including the “Canopy” by Bernini and the “Pietà” by Michelangelo. You will also explore the underground of the Basilica and visit the Tombs of the Popes, where popes, saints and other important people are buried.
On this kid-friendly treasure hunt your “hunt master” will create quizzes, trivia, and riddles that will keep everyone involved.
Your children will learn and have fun while looking for hints and clues, playing with interactive tools, maps and listening to the commentaries, the stories and the legends told by the guide.
This will be a unique way to spend quality time with your family and strengthen your relations with your children!

My family of six (kids 17 - 22 years old), plus my wife's sister and her husband, were keen to see the Vatican but our time was limited. Our tour with Tommaso was outstanding. He made the visit thorough, enjoyable and entertaining. His knowledge was impressive and he made sure we saw and understood many of the remarkable treasures on view. We had great fun and it is our pleasure to highly recommend Tommaso and the Rome Treasure Hunt to all travellers to Rome :-)
