I am traveling next month to Italy with my kids -- ages 7 & 11. They are pretty good travelers, but have not done many TOURS. We usually have done self guided things. Are there particular Vatican tours you'd recommend with kids?
Angel tours. The guides are young art history students and are great with kids, really include them. Tours are well priced and informative. http://www.angeltoursrome.com
Context Rome offers tours geared to kids, www.contextrome.com
