The Capitoline Museums are underrated, but wow—what an experience! Our guide showed us ancient statues, paintings, and the legendary She-Wolf sculpture. Way more than just ruins!

Highly recommend for anyone!

Walking through the Capitoline Museums with Dmitri was like stepping into a time machine. The statue of Marcus Aurelius and the original She-Wolf were incredible highlights. I’d highly recommend this tour for anyone fascinated by Roman history!

This tour was such a great experience! Our guide was fantastic (SO knowledgeable about the history and art) but also made everything easy to follow. I loved getting to see famous pieces like the Capitoline Wolf up close and learning the stories behind them. The private tour made it feel so much more personal, and we could really take our time without worrying about others. It was such a memorable way to explore Rome’s history. Highly recommend!

Excellent museum for a different side of Roman history
