Tour Details
Full Description
Housed in beautiful Palazzo Massimo, the National Roman Museum displays one of the richest collections of classical art, including ancient sculptures, magnificent Roman mosaics, and original frescoes from the Villa of Empress Livia. Skip long lines with your fast-access tickets and head straight inside to explore the museum’s treasures. You will see the highlights such as the “Boxer at Rest” the “Discus Thrower”, the “Sleeping Hermaphrodite”, the unique collection of ancient Roman calendars, and many more. Our expert guide will teach you about art and history and give you insight into the ancient culture and daily lives of Romans.
Then, we will visit the Diocletian Baths, the largest bath complex in Ancient Rome, commissioned by Emperor Diocletian in 298 AD. It was twice as large as the famous Baths of Caracalla and could accommodate up to 3000 people at one time. With our guide, you will discover the Ancient bath system, learn about the historic bathing culture in the Roman Empire, and see how this complex has been transformed into the Basilica of St. Mary of the Angels, designed by Michelangelo.

Palazzo Massimo is so underrated! The statues and frescoes were incredible, and the Baths of Diocletian were just huge. The guide really knew their stuff
-
We were recommended this tour by a friend and we loved it! The ruins were very interesting, Roberta told us so many fun facts and curious tidbits. If you want to visit something other than the usual stuff when in Rome I cannot recommend this tour enough!
