About this tour

Step into the Capitoline Museums, a remarkable collection of art and ancient sculptures set atop one of Rome’s seven hills. Founded in 1734, the museums are recognized as the world’s first public museum, created when Pope Clement XII made an important collection permanently accessible to Rome’s residents.

On this private 120-minute tour, explore the stories behind the collection with an official guide. See the famous she-wolf with Romulus and Remus, and discover works that trace the history of Rome. The museums occupy four buildings overlooking the ancient Roman Forum, placing centuries of history in a striking setting above the heart of the city.

Your guide will meet you beneath the bronze statue of Marcus Aurelius in Piazza del Campidoglio. With museum tickets included, you can focus on the art, artifacts, and stories that bring ancient Rome to life.

How this score is calculated

This tour has no TourTruth score yet: Viator doesn't show a usable rating for it. It gets a score as soon as a provider lists one.

How the score works
  • 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. Tours without a usable provider rating are not scored.
