With our tour specially designed to make these attractions accessible to wheelchair users it is possible to request a car for transportation to/from your hotel and to/from the airports of Rome.

Get in close contact with the many faces that over the centuries have left an indelible mark on the history of Rome such as the emperors Augustus, Trajan, and Hadrian, as well as philosophers and thinkers like Seneca, Cicero and Virgil, who forever changed Western thought.

Discover the legends of Rome through works of art and archaeological artifacts that tell the city's thousand-year. Admire the Etruscan original of the Lupa Capitolina, depicted with the twins Romulus and Remus, linked to the legendary founding of the city of Rome.

Inside the Museums you will be guided through a gallery that houses a rich selection of paintings. Among the many paintings by masters like Titian, Raffaello, and Pieter Paul Rubens, you will be fascinated by Caravaggio's dramatic use of light in his "Bacchus".

Continuing on this private tour tailored to your needs, you will be amazed by the bronze statue of Marcus Aurelius on horseback, an original Roman sculpture from the second century A.D. that was built soon after the emperor's death and placed in a wonderful exhibition space.

You will also have the opportunity to admire the great statue of Constantine, recently built in its colossal dimensions on the basis of the original remains inside the main courtyard of the Museums. The greatness of Rome is expressed in the grandeur of the statue and in the power symbols of imperial propaganda such as the globe clutched in his hand.

Due to the attention to accessibility, this museum in Rome is usable by the elderly or those with reduced mobility, offering this cultural richness without concerns of obstacles or limitations.

Join us on this accessible tour, specially designed for seniors or those with limited mobility. Before venturing into the heart of the Capitoline Museums, take in the grandeur of Piazza del Campidoglio, named after the hill it rests upon and renowned as a Renaissance masterpiece by Michelangelo, designed between 1536 and 1546. Your eyes will be captivated by the statues of the Dioscuri and the regal replica of Marcus Aurelius on horseback, proudly presiding over the staircase and gazing towards the modern city. These heroic figures, astride noble steeds, convey a powerful sense of dignity and strength.

On this private tour, explore all the rooms of one of the oldest public art collections in the world, immersing yourself in masterpieces by artists such as Titian, Raphael, and Caravaggio. Be prepared to be amazed as we share stories about must-see works like Caravaggio's "Bacchus" and "Saint John the Baptist," celebrated for their masterful use of light; Raphael’s "Portrait of Leo X," capturing the essence of papal power and grandeur in the Renaissance; and Titian’s "The Baptism of Christ," a testament to Venetian Renaissance art, artistry, and deep spirituality.

With our passionate and knowledgeable guide, you’ll also uncover historical anecdotes in front of lesser-known works like the Hall of the Horatii and the Curiatii, which houses a painting by Jacopo Palma the Younger depicting the famous episode in Roman history when three Roman brothers fought three from Alba Longa to determine the fate of their cities. Each piece is a testament to the genius and artistry of its creators, offering visitors an unmatched visual and emotional experience.

Enjoy the captivating rooms of the Capitoline Museums with ease, following a personalized route equipped with ramps and elevators. This path leads through the Palazzo dei Conservatori, where you’ll dive back into Rome's ancient origins, encountering the Capitoline She-Wolf, an ancient Etruscan work from the 5th century BCE, which has been transformed over centuries into a timeless icon of the glorious city. Inside the palace, ancient statues and imperial busts stand as silent guardians of the past, witnessing the deeds and triumphs that shaped ancient Rome.

As you walk through the majestic halls of the palace, the secrets of ancient Rome come alive through figures who altered its topography, history, and culture. The faces of emperors who ruled the capital, such as Augustus, Hadrian, and Trajan, rise with grandeur, conveying their power in sculptures that influenced international styles for centuries. Each sculpture is a living testament to Rome’s magnificent history and illustrious rulers, embedded in the heart of the Eternal City.

Throughout the museum’s numerous rooms, we’ll share unique details until we reach the towering bronze statue of Marcus Aurelius on horseback, a rare original Roman bronze capturing the essence of imperial greatness and standing as an authentic icon of Rome.

On this private tour, you’ll also encounter the colossal statue of Constantine in the main courtyard, reconstructed to its original scale based on the remains you’ll have admired inside the museum. Originally, this giant may have been made by reusing a statue of Jupiter from the Temple of Jupiter Optimus Maximus. A captivating blend of narratives and symbolism takes us on a journey through time, transporting us from the splendors of ancient Rome to the majestic era of the empire.

Take your art experience to the next level with our Borghese Gallery tour for seniors, where extraordinary masterpieces await in an intimate and accessible setting.
