About this tour

Explore Rome’s artistic legacy on a private guided visit to the Capitoline Museums, set in Michelangelo’s striking Piazza del Campidoglio. With an art historian leading the way, discover celebrated works and sweeping views in one of the city’s most atmospheric museum settings.

Admire the remains of Constantine’s colossal statue, richly frescoed halls, and the bronze Marcus Aurelius beneath a glass ceiling. See the Capitoline Wolf, the Spinario, and the head of Constantine, then descend through the underground Tabularium gallery, where its arcades frame a panoramic view of the Roman Forum. The collection also features the Capitoline Venus, the Dying Gaul, the Red Faun, and Cupid and Psyche. Guaranteed skip-the-line tickets and a private guide make it easier to focus on the art and stories around you.

How this score is calculated

This score is based on one provider. Viator rates it 4.60 from 15 reviews. We place that rating among all Viator ratings and weight it by its review count. If the tour is found on another provider later, both ratings are combined.

How the score works and rating distribution in Rome
  • Each provider rating is turned into a percentile: the share of that provider's ratings it beats, weighted by review counts.
  • Listings on different providers are combined in proportion to their review counts.
  • Tours with few reviews are pulled toward the average until more reviews come in, so a handful of perfect reviews can't top the list.
  • The result is shown from 0 to 10: this tour scores 6.7.
