Excellent tour. Mattia is an excellent guide

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.

So many layers of history!

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.

Fantastic tour. Highly recommend.

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.
