Itinerary of the Private Capitoline Museums Tour

The tour begins in Piazza del Campidoglio, located on the summit of the Capitoline Hill and designed by Michelangelo at the request of Pope Paul III Farnese. The trapezoidal-shaped square is surrounded by the three main buildings—the Senatorial Palace, the Palace of the Conservators, and the Palazzo Nuovo—and embellished with classical sculptures and an elegant pavement design. Your guide will explain Michelangelo’s architectural innovations and the details that make the square one of the most evocative places in Rome.

The visit continues inside the Capitoline Museums, housed in the Palace of the Conservators and the Palazzo Nuovo. The tour starts in the courtyard of the Palace of the Conservators and then proceeds to the first floor, where the classical collections and the picture gallery are displayed. Highlights include the bronze equestrian statue of Marcus Aurelius, the lion attacking the horse, and the colossal head of Constantine. On the second floor, a short coffee break is scheduled, with access to the panoramic terrace.

The visit then continues to the Palazzo Nuovo, reached through the evocative Gallery of the Tabularium, offering views over the Roman Forum. Inside, the courtyard featuring the statue of Marforio immediately captures visitors’ attention, before concluding the tour with the exploration of the collections displayed in the palace.

Rome is a city of infinite facets, the perfect foundation for building many tours to explore its varied corners a little at a time. Even regular visitors never get bored. You can choose group or private tours. Another option is to choose a professional guide who will focus their full attention exclusively on you and your needs.
Our tour options with a private guide include tours based on the exploration of
Ancient Rome,  Imperial Rome, and Baroque RomeThe first of these tours will guide you through the landmarks of Ancient Rome. Starting from the ruins of the Baths of Caracalla, built between 212 and 216 AD, a temple to health and wellbeing, we will continue to Circus Maximus,and the Piazza della Bocca della Verità ["Mouth of Truth" Square] where you will learn about the fascinating story of the famous "Bocca della Verità." Your tour of Imperial Rome will guide you through places where the people of Rome spent their everyday lives, where they gathered and traded: the Trajan Markets  and the Museum of the Imperial Forum. This amazing architectural complex was the end of a system of bringing supplies to the capital. Designed as a full-fledged multi-purpose center, this was the site of public life, especially governmental life.
The Baroque Rome tour is a good choice for those who have already toured Rome's archaeological sites and want to explore other iconic sites. The tour focuses on Rome's spectacular squares and fountains for which it is renowned worldwide. Starting from Piazza Navona and Bernini's Fontana dei Quattro Fiumi, [Fountain of the Four Rivers], your guide will tell you amazing events involving Bernini and this fountain. Passing the Pantheon, the "temple of the gods," we'll come to Trevi Fountain, one of the best-known and most popular sites in Rome. We'll end in Piazza di Spagna where the "Spanish Steps " of Trinità dei Monti will take your breath away with their extraordinary beauty.
There are many other tour options that are far from the ordinary tours. One of the most fascinating of these will take you back in time with a guided tour of Domus Aurea. This is an exceptional tour, only open to the public with strict limitations because it is still an active excavation and restoration site. Nero's historic home can only be visited on weekends. The virtual recreation of the original spaces is an unforgettable experience.
