Overview

You may have heard of the fictional character Percy Jackson. The story of a twelve-year-old boy who embarks upon a number of amazing adventures, encountering Olympians in modern times. But did you know the inspiration for these comes from historical literature and artifacts that can be viewed today? The Percy Jackson Tour at The Capitoline Museum is an engaging experience to gather these imaginative mythical stories and bring them to life. There will be scavenger hunts with satires, gods and cyclops. Your family-friendly specialized guide will introduce you to many of the archaeological finds relating to the main characters in Percy’s adventures, such as the one-eyed Polyphemus, the menacing looking Medusa and Chiron the wise and friendly centaur, to name but a few. The best way to ensure that your children will have a fun learning adventure while visiting one of the most magnificent and important collections of ancient Roman art in the world! Let the treasure hunt begin!

Meeting points

Climb the steps from Piazza Ara Coeli to Piazza del Campidoglio - meet at the statue of Marcus Aurelius riding a horse (middle of the square).

End point

This activity ends back at the meeting point.

Itinerary

  • Piazza del Campidoglio

    Join the adventure of Percy Jackson and his demigod friends for a 2.5 hour walking tour in the oldest museum in the world, the Capitoline Museum. The Capitoline Museum is located in Piazza del Campidoglio, one of Rome’s most stunning squares, trapezium shaped with an intriguing oval ground pattern and an elegant staircase, bordered on three sides by gorgeous buildings, entirely redesigned by Michelangelo. In the center of the square stands the statue of the roman Emperor Marcus Aurelius on horseback. Our treasure hunt starts from here, giving your children the opportunity to get involved and have a lot of fun learning. Your enthusiastic and knowledgeable guide will be interacting with you all while sharing interesting facts which will help you and your little ones to understand more about the history and the culture of the people at the time, who lived in one of the most advanced and progressive civilizations in history.

    20 minutes

  • Musei Capitolini

    The Capitoline Museum is spread out across two buildings connected by an underground tunnel, both designed by Michelangelo. You will see the iconic Etruscan statue as well as the symbol of Rome, the She-Wolf, and you will listen to the story of Romulus and Remo, the mythical founders of the city. Your kid-friendly expert guide will lead you through Greek and Roman mythology mentioned in the popular books and movies, discovering some of Rome’s greatest artistic and archeological treasures.

Capitoline Done Right With Kids!

Published on Oct, 2024

We had a wonderful tour with Alessandra at the Capitoline Museum. We were six adults and six children (14 and under) visiting the museum for the first time. Alessandra kept the kids engaged and entertained with games and a competition between the kids and adults (the kids won!). We can’t recommend this company enough. We hire them every time we are in Rome!

Fantastic place

Published on Mar, 2024

I had a brilliant time for my birthday, and it was so nice to see everyone happy and having fun on the dance floor. The staff are very professional and friendly. My self and my daughter had a facial which was very relaxing. The swimming pool is nice and warm and easy to get into which is important if you have mobility problems. I am looking forward to my next visit.

Sara Magister, tour guide through the Vatican Museums

Published on Nov, 2023

We spent four hours in the Vatican Museums with Sara Magister as our guide. She is recommended by Rick Steves as an exceptionable personal guide while in Rome and for good reason. The museums can be an overwhelming first-time experience, but Sara is distinctly able to help you focus on the major artistic works and be thoroughly enriched by the experience.

Highly Recommend

Published on Jun, 2023

This was a great tour of the museum. I have a husband and two young boys who are really not interested and bored when coming to a museum. I booked this specifically because it focuses on kids. I think that Martina did an excellent job keeping the kids attention. She had an iPad that helped the kids visualize what things would have looked like. She was sitting with them and working with them to make sure they understood. She had these fun cards so they could translate ancient Latin. They really learned too. They asked questions and they even talked about it afterwards. I think she did the best anyone could do with my difficult to entertain children. I would recommend this to other families.

Excellent

Donato was an outstanding guide. His charm and expertise kept out son fully engaged with the historical surroundings. Our son said this tour deserves infinity stars - not just five.
