The Borghese Gallery combines art with the natural landscape. It houses magnificent paintings and sculptures inside a beautifully decorated and impeccably maintained villa. Magnificent.
Grazie per la splendida recensione! Siamo felici che abbia apprezzato il perfetto connubio tra i capolavori della Galleria Borghese e la bellezza dei suoi giardini. Speriamo di rivederla presto a Roma!
Very efficient with the tickets. Within less than a couple of hours after purchasing, I was contacted by Cristina with Your Local X by Bibbo Tours and provided instructions on how to retrieve my tickets. Everything was completed contactless and instructions on where to enter the museum were very clear. Great experience with this company!
Thank you for your wonderful review! We’re delighted that Cristina’s assistance and our contactless ticket delivery made your experience smooth and efficient :)
Gallery itself has a tremendous collection of sculptures and artwork. Our guide Dimitri was excellent, moved us against the flow so many times our group was alone at major exhibits. He was well organized, knew his art history and how the work intersected with culture and local events. Expertly related various exhibits to each other. Most art history I've ever absorbed from a guide.
Thank you for your wonderful review! We’re delighted you enjoyed the gallery and Dimitri’s expert guidance and knowledge. See you next time in Rome!
Beautiful museum, possibly the best in Rome, given its Bernini collection. Eddy was extremely knowledgeable and a very friendly guide.

Thank you very much for your wonderful review! We’re delighted you enjoyed the tour, the museum, and our guide’s explanations!
Generally smooth but they didn’t show up at meeting point and made me very worried! I wish like other tours we booked they let me know at least a day in advance that they are sending me PDF tickets Rather than all was god and smooth You are lucky your colleagues ( other vendors) backed you up when they saw us panicked they you are not there
Thank you for your review. We're happy the visit went well overall. A small but important clarification: you purchased skip-the-line tickets, not a guided tour — so there is no meeting point or guide included in this service. Our role is to provide valid access tickets, which we did. We understand the tickets arrived closer to entry time than you would have preferred, and we'll take that on board for earlier delivery in future. That said, any concern at the entrance would have come from a misunderstanding of what was booked. We encourage guests to review their booking details ahead of time — this helps avoid unnecessary stress on the day. We hope you enjoyed the experience itself, and we'd be happy to welcome you back.
I will never visit a museum again without a guide! The knowledge shared on this tour was what made it so memorable. Details my sister and I would never have k own about key pieces in this incredible Collection! I am grateful to our guides insight! We enjoyed this immensely and I can’t stop repeating to myself the way he said “Bernini” 💜. Like a song! Thank you ‘
Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We’re thrilled you enjoyed the tour and that our guide made the collection and “Bernini” so memorable for you and your sister!
This tour of Borghese Gallery is worth the booking. Mitia was a great guide, full of knowledge, interesting information and good humor. The sculpture and paintings are extraordinary, and the park itself is worth a visit.
Thank you for your kind review
