Can our group of four (2 adults, 2 kids) share one audioguide at the Vatican Museums, or do we each need our own?

It is designed for use with earphones or earbuds, so impossible to use with four people. If you have a splitter could maybe use for two people.

If you are taking children, you might want to do the Audioguide Family Tour as it's geared to younger visitors.
Trying share to share audioguides doesn't make any sense for the reasons Patricia explained. Certainly not for 2 adults and 2 kids.

Ah, gotcha. We've been to a few museums where the audioguide was a handheld player that we could share -- but since it's earbud-style, I'll grab four of them. Thanks!

Kathy -- I see on the website I can either order a full price admission with standard audioguide, or a reduced kids ticket with the family tour audioguide -- if I get the family audioguide for the kids and the standard audioguide for us, we'd still be able to follow essentially the same route, right?

kwahlgren, we're not lucky enough have little people to take to Rome so I'm unfamiliar with the family guide but this family (see the TA forum entry below) said they used both adult and family guides successfully. The only downfall is that, as they pointed out, the audio bits about the pieces covered are shorter on children's version so they could get bored waiting around for you.
