Not only was the tour absolutely stunning, but my family and I were provided with a flawless guide, Emilio Del Gesso. He was more than kind as he answered all of our questions with patience and anticipation for the next one; visibly enjoyed every minute of walking through everything with us and explaining all of the details of each piece, their symbolism, and the history behind it as well as its creators; was extremely friendly and hilarious, putting a smile on our faces; and had greater patience whenever we would ask to go back to view something. I recommend this tour to anyone interested in the Capitoline museums, dynamic views of Rome, or/and a riveting tour of art, history, and culture.

Unreliable company! Careful!
This is not a serious company. Cancel your reservation on top of the hour. If you want a quiet and safe ride, run away from this company! They are not serious people and do not do a serious job.

Wonderful Tour
Emilio is a treasure! He is so knowledgeable about everything and its significance and importance. I would have been happy if this tour was twice as long! It was a pleasure to take in his knowledge about the exhibits.

So much to see & learn!
Our tour with Emilio was exceptional. We learned SO much about each piece that we saw, we felt like we were real art history students! The Capitoline Museums are a must-do, and if you really want a deep dive into the significance, history and meaning behind each piece you see, Emilio is a must-have tour guide. I would recommend not being on a tight schedule after this tour, so you don’t have to cut anything short. There is a lot to see and learn!

Capitoline Guided Tour
Excellent tour with Emilio. Very informative and knowledgeable. Gained a great understanding of antiquities as compared to renaissance and medieval sculpture.

Capitoline Museum tour
The museum is amazing with many famous ancient sculptures. They also had a fair amount of Renaissance paintings. At the end, the view of the Forum was outstanding. Our guide was extremely knowledgeable about ancient history and art history, and added a great deal to the tour that we would have overlooked. He paced it well. There were a lot of stairs to climb. Strongly recommend this visit with guided tour.

Smartest Guide Ever
Martin was the smartest guide I have ever taken a tour with. He quickly ascertained my level of education and interest and took me on a Masters level course of the Capitoline Museums. We covered not just the usual stories about statues and paintings someone could easily learn from YouTube, but deep and insightful discussions about the period of the creation of the works as well as fascinating background tidbits that blew my mind. Martin's tour challenged me intellectually in a good way. Make sure you are ready both physically and mentally for this tour. This is the tour for true history (and art history) buffs.

Not for average art fans
Our tour guide was very knowledgeable and passionate about paintings. We however, are not. Very long tour for the size of the museum. The price is not equal to the value. What our guide showcased in his love of art, he lacked in people skills, although he did try. Just a bit awkward. If you are an art student or very much into art history, this is for you. If you are a casual tourist wanting to emerse yourself in all things Rome, I’d skip this. $541 for 3 people was just not worth it.

Dear Client,
We are sorry the tour did not meet your expectations.
Our tour guides are all experts, trained, and passionate. Although they give their best, they may only be appreciated by some, as their opinions are entirely personal. Nonetheless, we have forwarded this to our Guide Management department so that it can be looked at and followed up with the guide in case it is needed. Our local guides, selected for experience and professionalism, try their best to share their passion for their country and local History; we apologize that the guided tour disappointed you. Once again, thank you for leaving us your review. We hope to hear from you soon.
Kind Regards, Stefano Tour in the City
