Explore the Borghese Gallery, one of Rome’s true crown jewels.

The Capitoline Museums offer another extraordinary chapter in Rome’s story. Founded in 1471, this museum complex is home to ancient Roman treasures like the She-Wolf of Rome, the colossal statue fragments of Constantine, and a vast array of sculptures and artifacts that bring the city’s imperial past to life. Our private tours lead you through these labyrinthine halls, connecting ancient politics, myth, and everyday life in ways a guidebook never could. For lovers of Baroque art, the Palazzo Barberini is a must. This grand palace houses works by Caravaggio, Raphael, and Guido Reni, all set beneath sweeping frescoed ceilings. With a private guide, you won’t just admire the art—you’ll understand the rivalries, ambitions, and historical forces that created it. At Palazzo Massimo, you’ll encounter one of Rome’s most overlooked treasures. This museum showcases some of the finest Roman frescoes, mosaics, and sculptures, including the stunning Garden Room frescoes that offer a rare glimpse into the luxury of ancient Roman villas. A private tour here reveals the everyday beauty and sophistication of ancient life that many visitors miss. Step into aristocratic splendor at Palazzo Colonna, one of the oldest and largest private palaces in Rome. Still owned by the Colonna family after more than 800 years, the opulent galleries and salons are filled with priceless paintings, tapestries, and furnishings. Touring this palace feels like stepping into a living time capsule, and with a private guide, you’ll uncover the history hidden in every gilded corner. Finally, the Galleria Doria Pamphilj offers a quieter but equally stunning alternative to the city's more crowded museums.
