Couldn’t find the Ticket office

Linda_V, May 2026

We could not find your ticket office and we had to buy tickets at the entry door. I ended up having to pay double for the tickets. Need better information for your ticket office

Great museum. Beautiful views!

Mark_B, Apr 2026

It was a great museum with beautiful views over the Roman Forum. Simple entry. Leave backpack in lockers with a key- free.

Educational

Peter_a, Apr 2026

Expect to spend a lot of time at the museum as it is quite large so allow plenty of time. There are also quite a number of stairs do beware. Very worth a visit.

Don’t buy tickets from these people

Amy_B, Dec 2025

If I could give a negative number I’d do it. The fact that their employee told us that the tickets they provided they’ve had problems with before means that this company needs to fix their tickets. Lia the fact that they can’t just send them to my email is Assine.

Great mueseum

Christopher_H, Aug 2025

Capital Museum of Rome was a great museum to explore and visit. I would recommend the headsets to help you understand some of the history and items there. Your company was helpful and the video very informative. Recommend the tour and esp the museum.

1st Public Museum in History with ancient iconic European works!!

Jennifer_P, Aug 2025

So interesting that this is the 1st public museum in history , when Pope Sixtus IV in 1471 donated a collection of important ancient bronzes to the Roman people. Prepare your visit to see iconic works such as the equestrian statue of Marcus Aurelius, the Capitoline She-wolf, and the Capitoline Venus up close It’s a great experience!!

Disappointed

Kirandeep_K, Mar 2025

The Museum itself is great however getting tickets through this particular booking was confusing and ultimately unsuccessful for us. Would recommend buying tickets directly if you have the time.

Excellent Experience

P_B, Feb 2025

Excellent experience with booking, picking up my ticket, and the video you watch before crossing the street to the Capitoline Museum. The ticket office for this booking is not inside the Capitoline Museum. It is diagonally across the street from the stairway leading from the street to the Museum at TOURISTATION ARACOELI office at Piazza Aracoeli, 16. I already knew a lot about the history of Rome, but the video was enjoyable and good visual preparation for what you are about to see in the Museum.

Great experience!

Jessica_A, Feb 2025

Meeting point easy to find! The staff was very professional and provided us all the required information. Great video before the visit! The museums is very interesting and full of masterpieces! I enjoyed the view from the Caffarelli terrace!

Stunning

Amanda_M, Feb 2025

The Capitoline Museums are absolutely stunning, and they are definitely worth a visit. As the oldest museum in the world, the historical value is unparalleled. A bonus point is the amazing service we received at the Touristation meeting point. The staff was incredibly helpful, explaining everything clearly and even helping us download a city audio guide onto our phones. This guide gave us detailed information about all the monuments we encountered as we walked around. Additionally, in the cinema room, we watched a beautiful multimedia introductory video that was both informative and engaging. The entire experience was seamless and insightful, and I highly recommend visiting!

Response from Host, Feb 2025

Museum Bella

Marci_B, Nov 2024

The views from the top, amazing! The museum was just so ornate and beautiful. Well laid out and labeled and signage. The audio didn’t work so that’s why I have to 3 stars.

Hello Marci Thank you for the valuable feedback. We really appreciate you taking the time to send us your feedback, it is an inspiration for us to improve. We are confident that your next experience with Touristation will be a positive one!

Claim your tickets before you climb

tara_f, Oct 2024

The video you can watch at their office is surprisingly good. Just remember to get your ticket before you climb that hill. It was self guided, no frills and as expected.

Response from Host, Oct 2024

Dear Tara, thank you so much for your review! We are so glad to hear that your experience touring Rome with Touristation was fun ! We hope to have you back with us soon! Kind regards, Touristation Team

Even by Rome's high standards this is a very good museum to see

Rosemary_H, Oct 2024

We booked this activity through Viator but it was hosted by Touristation. They provided a great video before we went to the museums. Lots of great exhibits and make sure you pay to get a ticket to the top of the church. The views are outstanding.

Dear Rosemary, Thank you so much for your wonderful review!

Capitoline Museum

Jim_T, May 2024

The Capitoline Museum is a must see. But the ticket voucher/ printout was not accepted at the museum. The redemption location was not clear. I had to climb several long flights of stairs up to the piazzo, back down again. 20 minutes searching for redemption ticket exchange which was on the other side of a busy traffic circle and back up the steps again. That should not have to happen with clear instructions and a map. I’d rate the museum 5-stars and getting there 1-star.

The Capitoline Museum is Worth the Time

Nancy_C, May 2024

Great works from many different time periods at the Capitoline. 10/10 recommend. The multimedia video was perhaps unnecessary. It was cool, but not a must-do.

This is a SCAM

Samuel_W, May 2024

Viator has let us down this whole trip. After walking up a giant hill in the heat, the attendant at the museum was super rude and told us that this was not a real ticket. After speaking with the ticket office, we were told to go to the the tourist office to get our paper tickets. After doing that we were still unable to get in. The attendant said we had to go buy another ticket. This is a scam. I paid $78 for fake tickets. The admission tickets were only 14 euros and there was no line. Don’t bother with this.

A real pain to get the tickets.

Simone_C, Apr 2024

Getting the tickets was a pain. Had to spend more time finding the pick up location than if I just stood in line and bought them.

Horrible Experience

Robert_H, Mar 2024

Totally disorganized with Tourstation having us scheduled for the wrong date and no one to assist you. Entered museum with help of security, folks save your money buy your tickets at museum for 4.50E per person vs, $78.00 paid to Viator.

Awesome site

Alexandra_S, Feb 2024

One of the best sites we saw in Rome this is totally worth the money to skip the line. Be in the look out for the ticket procurer and tour guide they can sometimes be hidden and it can be confusing.

Great art and organization

Susan_O, Feb 2024

Easy entry. Museum staff was very helpful with directions. The art collection is fabulous. The cafeteria had tasty panini and the staff moved quickly. Don’t forget to see the view from the restaurant terrace. It was a great day!!

Amazing Museum

James_Z, Nov 2023

Good activity! The vouchers were easy to exchange for tickets since the Touristation is basically just across the street from the museum. We didn’t have to wait too long to redeem the vouchers, although it was November. It might be a bit of a wait in the summer. The Capitoline Museum is a must see. There is so much there it is hard to take it all in. Just being able to actually see the She Wolf sculpture was beyond amazing. Seeing Constantine’s enormous head, hand, foot was worth it! If your time allows, you should visit this museum.

Voucher v actual Tickets!

Joe_F, Oct 2023

Great experience at the Museum. Could improve the way we get our tickets. Had to walk a pretty good way to exchange our voucher for tickets and then walk back to the Museum! Overall though we had a good time.
