Absolutely brilliant our guide was incredible and this is the greatest museum in the world - it should be packed but it’s not - I want to go again and again

Mattia is an excellent tour guide who has mastered not only the basics of guiding but all the chances and details that add life to the statues and context the the frescos and mosaics he was showing us. He set an appropriate pace, even with my time-consuming picture taking. He even captured the interest of my wife who isn’t into Ancient Rome and had graciously indulged me. Matt is speaks excellent English. The tour was worth every penny.

The tour guide, Matteo(sp?), was both knowledgeable and enthusiastic about Roman era art. Could not have been a better guide.

Serena fascinated us with her detailed knowledge of the history and architecture contained in the museum exhibits. She was also able to tie that information to contemporary aspects of life in Rome. The tour was thoroughly enjoyable and we are happy we chose this method for visiting the museum. We would enthusiastically recommend Serena.

We loved this tour and the guide was amazing. He explained everything with tons of enthusiasm. I learned a ton. Highly recommend. The National Museum has the incredible frescoes, mosaics, and some incredible statues from Roman times. It makes it much easier to appreciate the surrounding ruins after seeing these amazing works of Roman art. I was also blown away by the Thermal baths that Michelangelo repurposed as a church. Our guide explained so well all the architectural features of the bath that are incorporated into the church. Really stunning. Highly recommend this tour. Also, the museum isn't crowded at all. Very pleasant to enjoy the art in a more peaceful way without getting jostled every other second.

Georgio did a great job. I highly recommend him. The mosaics and frescos were impressive. There were lots of statues, impressive, but not my thing. Thus the 4 stars rather than 5.

This is a comprehensive and extensive look at central Rome and all in one walk. The jewel is the no-waiting trour of the Collesium. Individual radio headphones allow the guide to be heard throughout

This was not in our agenda but it was close to our hotel. Very rich in Roman artifacts and well organized. We some extra fee, we got access to 3 combined museums. Beautiful and very historical. I strongly recommend it if you like to know history of Roman Empire. Also, space area to walk and take nice pictures.

<p>This was one of my favorite things that we did for a few reasons. It was incredibly interesting to see all the different works of art and soak in the history, but it was even better because our guide was passionate about the subject matter. He talked about the different stories or legends and additional insights and explained the various pieces and it truly felt like VIP service.</p>

Rick T

<p>Highly recommend. Our tour guide was highly knowledgeable. We were surprised by how immense the complex and buildings were. The baths must have been unrivaled in the world in their time. Our tour guide pointed out floor mosaics, frescoes, and awe-inspiring sculptures and provided historical context for our understanding. We loved Michelangelo's Basilica of St. Mary of the Angels the he incorporated into the bathhouse in 1561. This was a great tour!</p>
