Amazing experience, highly recommend! The guide Frederico is the best!
All of us really enjoyed this tour. Our guide was so knowledgeable and such a good storyteller. We would not have enjoyed the museum nearly as much without him. It was one of our favorite tours for our entire trip.
Alicia (sp) was a fantastic guide. She has deep knowledge but really bright the art to life as we toured the Borghesi with her. It was on the pricey side, sure hope she got most of it!

I loved it! I did the tour today with the guide called Enri. Having him as a guide was essential, he kept it dynamic and incredibly interesting. The sculptures and the painted ceilings absolutely took my breath awayyyy..

The Gallery Borghese is magnificent. The collection of paintings and sculptures in this lavish setting is truly awe inspiring. The premium charged for the skip the queue tickets is however exhorbitant. Take your chances in the queue which looked like it involved about a 10-20 minute wait. The downloaded App was problematic and kept "glitching" resulting in the need to shut it down and then restart it a number of times during our tour.
Thank you for sharing your feedback. We’re sorry to hear that your Borghese Gallery experience did not fully meet expectations. We’re glad to know you found the gallery and its collection magnificent, but we understand your concerns regarding the ticket value and the issues experienced with the downloaded app. We would like to review this more carefully with our team, so please contact us at feedback@crowntours.com with your booking reference number and any additional details about your visit. Your feedback is important and will help us improve the guest experience. Best regards, Sky Crown Tours
Henry was a very knowledgeable and enthusiastic guide. As an art historian, he was able to take us to the most important pieces in a huge collection, and explain the technical reasons for their importance, while placing them in a historical context. The collection is so huge, and the villa so intricately decorated, that it’s a little overwhelming, so Henry’s approach really worked. Highly recommend.
Thank you for your thoughtful and detailed review. We are delighted that Henry’s expertise as an art historian helped make such an extensive collection feel clear, engaging, and accessible. His ability to highlight the most important works, explain their artistic significance, and place them in historical context truly reflects the kind of expert guidance we aim to provide. We sincerely appreciate your recommendation and are so pleased that his approach made your visit to the Borghese Gallery so memorable. Best regards, Sky Crown Tours
