12 Hotel Pickup & Transfers That Work With Kids

1.Vatican Pass, Top Attractions and Free Transport

★★★★★★★★★★3.8 · 4,433 reviews · from $168Our pick

OMNIA Vatican + Roma Pass combo for 3 days with skip-the-line entry, top sights, hop-on buses, and unlimited public transport.

“Highly recommend this deal! To get into the Vatican it is IMPOSSIBLE and you will wait hours to get in. If you are on a time crunch then getting a fast pass is highly recommended. You do wait but not as long as you would without the fast pass ticket. Plus all the other perks are a bonus! You can get into any bus in Rome which is really helpful when you get tired from walking everywhere.”

2.Private Vatican Museums Hidden Gems Tour with Optional Pick-Up

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 253 reviews · 3 hours 30 minutes (approx.) · from $381Top rated

Private Vatican Museums tour with skip-the-line entry, lesser-seen stops, Sistine Chapel, and St. Peter’s Basilica. Optional pickup.

“We booked an excellent "Private Vatican Museums Hidden Gems" Tour. We had booked this particular one because it was longer than many others, and the Vatican requires much time to appreciate. (Even the four hours was, of course, only a small taste.) We were absolutely thrilled with our "Eyes of Rome" Guide, Rosalba Cilione (an Art Historian, whose business card verily calls herself a "Storyteller"). She carefully chose a reasonable set of elements on which we should focus., and provided both broad perspectives and sufficient in-depth (and fascinating) detail. The details (indeed stories!) brought the architecture, paintings, and sculpture alive and made our trip special..”

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 171 reviews · 3 hours (approx.) · from $423

Private Vatican Museums and Sistine Chapel with hotel pickup, skip-the-line entry, and expert guides, with optional Basilica access.

“Driver/pick up from hotel was very accomodating with mobility needs of guest. Very nice vehicle. Private tour guide Louisa was excellent. Unfortunately we only completed the museums part of the tour+coffee before 1 member of our 3 was injured and needed to be taken to hospital by ambulance. Louisa stayed with us until ambulance left and she set us up with a taxi and gave instructions to the driver. We are disappointed to miss seeing Sistene Chapel and Basilica and having Louisa's excellent commentary”

★★★★★★★★★★3.8 · 58 reviews · from $243

Early-morning, small-group Vatican tour with hotel pickup and line-skipping tickets, guided art highlights, and an end in St. Peter’s Square.

“The van picked us up at the hotel on time. We had a disabled person with us. The van driver was helpful and kind. The area around the vatican entrance was very crowded. It was great the driver took us to meet our tour guide and introduced us to her. I Can’t say enough about our tour guide, Elena. She is a teacher of Art and History. I can’t imagine anyone who could give us a better experience. She gave us so much information about the Vatican and St Peter’s Basilica. Her knowledge was amazing. She invited us to ask questions and was very engaging. We actually had conversations throughout…”

6.Vatican Museums and Gardens Private Tour – Pick up included

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 53 reviews · 4 hours (approx.) · from $887

Private Vatican tour with hotel pickup, Vatican Gardens access, and direct Sistine Chapel entry, plus St. Peter’s Basilica and Square.

“We were picked up in a private car at our hotel and brought directly to the Vatican. That tour lasted about 30 mins. Then after a fair walk to the Vatican Museum, then into the gardens. Wow! No words. If you have ever wanted to see these gardens in a private setting, this the way. My wife and I were guided by a member of the research staff of the Vatican archives, and she was beyond compare. It was as if the Pope would be walking around the corner at any moment. Forget the price, just do it!!!”

★★★★★★★★★★3.9 · 26 reviews · from $189

Small-group Vatican Museums and Sistine Chapel tour with reserved entry, headset guidance, and St. Peter’s Square explanations in 3 hours.

“The transport was a little late but the driver was friendly. The guide was very irritated and a little rude. He would rather give his opinions than explain the facts. Besides counting people more than 20 times is losing count complaining. The place itself is amazing and so worth it.”
