Great tour of the Borghese gallery. Great guide. Perhaps a bit too much minutia snd not enough of an overview. But so much better than just walking through on your own
Silvia was excellent. Really knows her stuff and answered all our questions and was infectious with her passion. Made the gallery come to life for us. Very much recommend.
Amazing gallery of artwork with impressive pieces by Bernini and Raphael. Our tour guide Simone was very nice. They fitted us in at the last moment even though we didn’t have much time that we could spare. Great communication from the tour company and Simone made sure to entertain even my seven year old with tracking the numbers of dragons and eagles that she saw. Highly recommend and wish we could have stayed longer!
Marcelo is extremely knowledgeable and was very accommodating. He made the Borghese gallery a highlight of our Rome vacation. Grazie Millie!!!
On our honeymoon in Rome, we decided to visit the Borghese Gallery accompanied by Fabrizio. It was a magical experience: his passion and the way he told the stories behind each work brought us even closer. Between soft lights and masterpieces of art, Fabrizio created a unique atmosphere, making us experience moments of profound connection and enriching our journey with meaning and beauty. Thank you, Fabrizio, for making our stay in Rome even more special!
We were lucky enough to experience the magic of the Borghese Gallery accompanied by Silvia. Despite the variety of ages in our family, he was able to involve everyone, from the youngest to the oldest. With fascinating anecdotes and clear explanations, he made art accessible and intriguing for children and yet profound and compelling for adults. It was a day of discovery and sharing with the family, made perfect by Silvia's competence and warmth. A tour that we highly recommend to all families!
Going on a Roman adventure with friends was special, but visiting the Borghese Gallery with Sara elevated our trip to another level. Sara combined the depth of her artistic knowledge with a friendly and lively approach, making every moment light and informative. We shared laughter, discoveries and even some deep reflections in front of the masterpieces. Thank you, Sara, for making our trip with friends even more unique and memorable!
I had the privilege of exploring the Borghese Gallery with Daniele as our guide. His passion and knowledge made each work of art alive and vibrant. With gripping stories and fascinating details, he transformed the tour into an emotional journey through time and art. Daniele is not just a guide, but a storyteller, an art lover who generously shares his passion. Thank you for such an enriching experience!
I often travel for work and I always try to include cultural moments to disconnect and enrich my time. The visit to the Borghese Gallery with Marta was a good choice. Despite my limited time, Marta was able to condense the essence of the gallery, guiding me through
Cecilia was a superb tour guide! Extremely knowledgeable and attentive! We arrived and immediately entered and began the tour. When we finished, we were satisfied with all we saw and thankful for her expertise!
