Discover one of Rome’s most extraordinary—and often overlooked—museum experiences with this private guided tour of Palazzo Massimo alle Terme and the ancient Baths of Diocletian. Just steps from Termini Station yet worlds away from the crowds, these sites provide a refined journey into the art, daily life, and grandeur of imperial Rome. Begin at Palazzo Massimo, a 19th-century palace now home to the National Roman Museum’s most precious treasures. With your expert private guide, explore masterpieces of Roman sculpture, portraiture, jewelry, coins, and domestic decoration. Admire the famous Boxer at Rest, the moving Sleeping Hermaphroditus, and the astonishingly preserved frescoes from the Villa of Livia, which recreate an imperial garden in vivid color.

Next, walk just a few minutes to the nearby Baths of Diocletian, once the largest public baths in the Roman world. Now part of the National Museum, this monumental complex reveals the scale and ingenuity of Roman engineering while housing beautifully displayed inscriptions, sarcophagi, and architectural features in a space redesigned by Michelangelo. This 3-hour private tour perfectly blends archaeology, art history, and architectural wonder, offering an immersive experience ideal for travelers eager to explore Rome beyond the usual sights.

Roma Experiences truly made our entire honeymoon unforgettable. From the very first interaction, everything felt seamless, personal, and thoughtfully planned for us. Every experience was perfectly curated, allowing us to enjoy Rome, Pompeii, Positano, Florence and Tuscany not just as tourists, but as a couple celebrating something incredibly special. All guides were knowledgeable, warm, and genuinely passionate about what they do. They went above and beyond to make each moment feel intimate and meaningful, whether it was exploring iconic landmarks or discovering hidden gems we never would have found on our own. If you’re looking for experiences that are exceptional, unique and flawlessly executed, Roma Experiences is absolutely the way to go!! Thank you so much, Elisa! ❤️

Our travel agent booked a Private tour of Rome and the Vatican back in December 2023. Elisa was AWESOME!! Learned so much from her and she was so knowledgeable. When I took my family to Italy in March ‘25, I booked directly with her and my kids had a fantastic time. Their customer service is amazing. Can’t wait to book them in my first trip to London!! Elisa you ROCK!!… Can’t forget Silvia from our Private Tour in Firenze… she was awesome too!! I HIGHLY recommend Roma Experience Tours!! 💜

Elisa was absolutely fantastic! Her knowledge of Rome, its history, and all the hidden stories brought the city to life. She was friendly, engaging, and made the tour feel personalized and fun. We learned so much. One of the best tours we’ve ever taken—highly recommend asking for Elisa!

Roma Experience gave my wife and I a wonderful experience on the Skip the Line Vatican Museum, Sistine Chapel and Basilica tour. Our tour guide, Elisa was amazing. We thoroughly recommend Roma Experience.

During our recent visit to Rome, our amazing travel agent booked a Private Tour of the Colosseum, Roman Forum, and Palatine Hill through Roma Experience Tours and I cannot imagine ever doing an Italian tour again without Elisa as our guide. She made entry into each area efficient and seamless and we found ourselves hanging on her every word as she regaled us with so many interesting stories and information. Our four hours together just wasn’t long enough and we can’t wait to go back and have another expert immersive experience with Elisa.
