Step into the heart of ancient Rome on a 2-hour private, skip-the-line visit to the Capitoline Museums—perfect for seeing the city’s greatest treasures without wasting time in queues. Led by a certified guide, the experience can be shaped around what fascinates you most: mythology, emperors, sculpture, or the stories behind the faces in marble.

Housed in historic palaces on Capitoline Hill, the collection is one of Rome’s highlights. Meet the Capitoline Wolf, admire the bronze of Marcus Aurelius, and explore remarkable portraits, reliefs, inscriptions, and mosaics that reveal how Romans lived, ruled, and remembered themselves. Your guide connects each masterpiece to the legends, rivalries, and real events that built the Eternal City. If conditions allow, enjoy beautiful viewpoints over the Roman Forum area.
