Itinerary

  • Musei Capitolini

    It is the oldest public museum of all of Europe, created at the end of the XV century by Pope Sistus IV, the creator of the Sistine chapel. Here we will admire the incredible collection of Roman antiquities, with some exceptions like Bernini's Baroque statues, exposed in an incredible palace decorated with famous frescoes. A journey in the ancient times, to understand and indagate many aspects of the ancient Roman life.

    2 hours

  • Piazza del Campidoglio

    The square is an interesting work of urban reorganization designed by Michelangelo. Stands out in the middle of the square, the copy of the Statue of Marcus Aurelius (the original is inside the Museum). The square that we will see in detail is an example of the Renaissance architecture.

We had an unforgettable...

Published on Jan, 2025

We had an unforgettable time visiting the Capitoline museum thanks to Max! There’s so much history that it’s hard to wrap your mind around some of it, but Max’s excitement about the collection was infectious and he helped bring it to life. Thank you for an memorable visit…it was the highlight of our time in Rome for our teenage son!

Vincenzo was the best tour guide we have ever had!

Published on Jan, 2025

Me and my parents went on 2 tours with Vincenzo. ‘Private Capitoline Museums Tour’ and ‘Private Tour - Trastevere and Villa Farnesina’. We had an excellent time on both trips. Vincenzo is extremely and unbelievably knowledgeable and enthusiastic. We have been on tours all over the world and Vincenzo was the best tour guide we have ever had! I can’t recommend these tours enough. Each tour was around 3 hours long but we enjoyed them so much, the time went so quickly. We learnt so much about things we wouldn’t have a clue about without Vincenzo’s extensive knowledge. When we go back to Rome, we will 100% go on tours with Vincenzo again. Thank you Vincenzo, you made our trip to Rome fantastic. These trips were the highlight of our trip.

Great Guide, Great Tours

Published on Dec, 2024

Vincenzo is an excellent guide with great storytelling abilites. This was my first time doing a solo tour and the time flew by so quickly because I was so engaged the whole time. He is incredibly animated and passionate about retelling history which intern makes you connect more with it. He is very professional and knowledgable, without boring you with information. I also did the Trastevere tour which I would recommend for a more laid back tour. The Borghese Gallery tour is well worth it also, and I would highly recommend going with a guide to help narrow down all the art and give it meaning.

Total High Energy Experience

Published on Nov, 2024

Let’s start this review with a little more context. We had just arrived in Rome the day before and had already completed one tour and this was our second for the day and towards the evening. We arrived early and noticed a tall gentleman standing near the statue in the square holding up a sign…And sure enough it was our guide, Vincenzo. Right out of the gates, Vincenzo hit us with a high energy and excitement about the tour we were about to begin and blew fresh air into our wings and got us excited for our tour. Vincenzo has quite the passion for what he does and his energy and excitement was contagious. He offered us deep dives on topics (per our request) and thoroughly, joyfully and with a “WOW” factor that many people cannot provide. We learned so much and had a great time comparing notes with Vincenzo on topics of discussion. He ended our tour with a great view of the ancient Rome that will definitely be a wall hanger photo. Cannot recommend this tour enough and request Vincenzo as he will be the reason you remember your experience at the museum.

A wonderfully engaging tour of the Capitoline Museums

Published on Oct, 2024

Vincenzo was passionate and animated, and engaged each member of our group in studying and discussing the important artworks of the Capitoline Museums. A great knowledge of history, architecture, and art history were all evident in his presentations. This was a tour that is not to be missed.
