Traveler reviews
A neglected jewel
Exactly so!!! Few people go to this museum: it took me several decades to come here even if I lived in Rome and I passed one zillion times in front of it! Wonderful statues, and a great mosaic of Medusa. Well...don't spread the news
Roman baths
Museum was nice. Guide was late and appeared to be tired. Tour ran short but she was knowledgable would have like more time in museum before baths
Great Museum and no crowds
Enjoyed touring the lightly visited Museum of the Romans. Many exceptional objects are contained in this museum and no crowds. The tour guide was excellent.
Matteo is Awesome!
Matthew was the highlight. He was very knowledgeable and friendly. The museum and baths are worth the effort, many ancient works and Michaelangelo's genius.
A Great experience!!!!!
This was our best experience in Rome! Of course, we did the Vatican, the ancient city, and others, but the museum is incredible. Our guide was wonderful! He was knowledgeable, passionate, caring, and spoke perfect English. A great experience!
