3.National Roman Museum and Diocletian Thermal Baths Walking Tour

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 18 reviews · 2 to 3 hours (approx.) · from $323Top rated

Meet your English-speaking guide at Palazzo Massimo near Republic Square for skip-the-line access to Roman mosaics, frescoes, coins, jewelry, and famous statues. A private option can continue to the vast Baths of Diocletian and Michelangelo’s Basilica of St. Mary of the Angels. Guides such as Matteo, Mattia, Serena, and Damiano have earned especially strong praise.

“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.”
