Guided Museum Visits

From €250 per group

The interior of Saint Peter's Basilica in the Vatican

Guided museum visits in Rome

A guided visit inside the Colosseum or the Vatican, with a licensed guide and a plan for your group.

Some places are better with a guide beside you. A guided visit takes your group inside the Colosseum or the Vatican with a licensed guide who knows the site and tells its story, so you spend the time looking instead of searching for the next room.

The price is fixed for the whole group. A Colosseum guided visit is €325 for 2 hours and €400 for 3 hours. Vatican visits are quoted individually, because the plan depends on the itinerary you agree with us.

Admission tickets are bought separately by the client.

What a guided visit gives you

Inside the site

Unlike our walking tours, which view the Colosseum and the Roman Forum from the outside, a guided visit goes inside the landmark.

A licensed guide

Guided visits are led by licensed guides, subject to availability and to the requirements of each site.

Up to 20 people per guide

One guide leads up to 20 participants, subject to confirmation. Larger groups can be split between guides.

A visit shaped around your group

The Vatican visit is tailored to the itinerary we agree with you, whether your group cares most about art, history or cultural heritage.

Walks to pair with a visit

Many groups add a walk before or after a visit. Take one as it is, or ask us for a mix.

Not sure which visit fits? Tell us the group, the date and what you want to see. We reply with a plan and a price.

One price for the whole group

A two-hour walking tour starts from €250 for up to 25 people. You pay for the tour, not for each person.

Longer tours, Colosseum visits and special routes are priced separately. We quote the exact price after you send a request.

I had a pleasure of attending the tour guided by Jacopo. He was very engaged even though it was his third trip that day. It was really the best we could have asked for. Great job Jacopo, introducing us to the history of ancient Rome!

I have been on several Guru tours and Jacobo was by far the best guide we have had. He was knowledgeable, informative, engaged with his subject matter, kind and funny. He took time to answer all the questions we had. Narrowing down the subject to Baroque Italy was genius because it made for a 2 hour tour, the right amount, that I could enjoy and digest. Well done!
