We decided to visit relatively late and were delighted with our decision. The art in the Galleria is jaw dropping and it was brought to life by our excellent guide. He navigated the relatively small museum to enable us to see all the highlights from close up as well as giving us interesting back stories and history. Would thoroughly recommend

I booked a semi-private tour of the Borghese Gallery and it was fabulous. There were five of us. Our guide, Dimitri, is a tour guide with Your Local X tour agency and he was wonderful. Dimitri was extremely knowledgeable about the art pieces in the Borghese. His vivid commentary brought Bernini and Caravaggio to life as well as many of the other artists presented there. It was such a pleasure to tour with him! The Borghese Gallery is a very special place.
Thank you for your wonderful review! We're delighted you enjoyed your visit to the Borghese Gallery, and we'll be sure to share your kind words with Dimitri—he'll be thrilled to know his passion for Bernini and Caravaggio helped bring the collection to life for you!
