Travel by Luxe is the best! Travel by Luxe was the best travel company to work with! The first contact was with Amy, the owner and she noted our interests and passed along our information to Marta, who we worked with through our planning stages and during our trip. Marta was very helpful and patient with all the changes we made through the planning stages. She booked our personal tours for the Colosseum, the Vatican, a boat tour of the Amalfi Coast and Capri. She arranged for a number of private drivers for us and kept us updated while in Rome who would be picking us up and when. Our entire trip went smooth and we enjoyed every minute of it! Thank you, Marta, Amy, and Travel by Luxe!!!

St Peter’s & Castel Sant’Angelo Kids Tour Description

This great family tour for all ages starts with us avoiding the long lines to enter the amazing St. Peter’s Basilica, where your tour guide will talk you through the wonder of the architecture and the many masterpieces by famous figures like Michelangelo and Bernini that await you inside.

All kids love the opportunity to climb the fun winding stairs all the way to the very top of the dome structure (no building in Rome is actually allowed to be taller than St Peter’s) and soak in the unparalleled 360-degree views of not only St. Peter’s Square, but all of Rome in her splendor.

Throughout the tour of St. Peter’s Basilica, your knowledgeable guide will draw your eye and perk up your curiosity with information that goes beyond the ordinary, with fun facts and secret history.

From here, we will whisk you away on foot towards the ancient, ominous Castel Sant’Angelo! You’ll learn the fascinating history from its creation at the orders of Emperor Hadrian, where it first served as a mausoleum, then a fortress and castle with an infamous prison and torture chamber! 

You will soon understand why the author Dan Brown cited this place as a meeting point for the Illuminati in his book Angels and Demons, and why it was featured so prominently in the video game Assassin’s Creed 2.
