Tour at Villa Borghese ,Hotel pick-up, custom timetable
Description
As you dive along the tree-lined avenues of Villa Borghese, you can admire the artistic and natural wonders of the park. The tranquil electric motor of the golf cart allows you to explore without disturbing the tranquility of the place, while the Tour Guide explains each monument and accompanies you to points of interest, such as the Galleria Borghese (externally ) and the lake the various gardens of the bourgeois cardinal , the extraordinary beautiful sight of the Pincio , the clock that runs on water and the various times of different eras but of disarming beauty In this context, the golf cart is not only a means of transport, but a way to live a unique adventure, mixing the relaxation of nature with the historical beauty of Rome. Highly recommended

Hands down a total scam! We purchased this tour understanding we did not have a start time or place. What we didn’t realize after 2 days trying to reach the tour company that they wouldn’t respond at all. When we tried to schedule via the Viator app they didn't respond. We only received a response when we requested to cancel. The tour guide then told us she didn’t know what time our tour was. Tried to blame us. We requested a time that she couldn’t make. Then we agreed to a later time only for her to call us as say she was running late and didn’t know when she’d arrive due to traffic. She blamed us for not having a start time which is a joke because this was the tour they advertised. We tried talking via Viator app, via WhatsApp, then the phone and couldn’t get a response. After we asked to cancel because of no show she tried to turn this all around on us. We were shocked. We wasted about 1 hour trying to reach them over 2 days and didn’t get to go on a tour we really wanted. The manager then emailed us saying we were a no show. Be very aware. This is not normal and we have had plenty of tours only to have this issue with this company. We had dispute this with our credit card. Not a good way to handle something that should have been so easy and fun
Guardi , e’ lei che non ha voluto fare il tour e dalla mattina e’ stato un continuo richiesta di rimborso , Poi ci ha cambiato pikup tre volte per metterci in difficoltà . Non c’è riuscita , allora si sfoga nella recensione . Peccato e’ l’ unica negativa
Both the guide and the gardens were one of our most memorable times in Rome. She was very knowledgeable and funny. This was a perfect excursion and respite from the high energy Rome can demand.
😍😍😍😍😍😍♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️
Enjoyable and personalized. Due to the cold weather, this was ideal to visit the Park and see the highlights.
Thank you for your feedback! We're glad to hear that you found the visit enjoyable and personalized, especially given the cold weather. Exploring the Park highlights in a comfortable setting is always our goal. We appreciate your insights and hope to see you again for another memorable experience!
Picked up on time, by Cristina and Andrea. Guide and driver smiling and pleasant. They are attentive and concerned about our expectations. They are kind enough to make you discover beautiful buildings on the round trip. Visiting Borghese Park is of little interest. Only the discovery of the Borghese Gallery offers an immense and grandiose experience. I recommend that tourists taking part in this program make sure that the Borghese Gallery visit is included in the selected program.
Cher et aimable invité, Nous avons été très heureux de vous accompagner lors de cette visite. Je suis désolé que, malheureusement, vous n’ayez pas lu le programme de la visite avant de l’acheter, où il est clairement indiqué que la Galerie Borghèse est visitée uniquement de l’extérieur avec cette visite. Ci-dessous, je vous rapporte clairement la description de la visite… Qu’est-ce qui rend cette visite spéciale ? Alors que vous vous immergez le long des allées ombragées de la Villa Borghèse, vous pouvez admirer les merveilles artistiques et naturelles du parc. Le moteur électrique silencieux du golf cart vous permet d’explorer sans déranger le calme des lieux, tandis que le guide touristique explique chaque monument et vous accompagne vers des points d’intérêt, comme la Galerie Borghèse (de l’extérieur) et le lac, les divers jardins du cardinal Borghèse, l’extraordinaire belvédère du Pincio, l’horloge fonctionnant à l’eau et les différents temples d’époques variées mais d’une beauté saisissante.
Max was a guide with class, competence, calm and patience. He provided clear and precise explanations.

This tour takes you through the gardens but does not allow entrance to any buildings. Beautiful gardens. Our guide Sam was excellent, knowledgeable and professional.

If you're looking for a great trip around the highlights of Rome this is for you.

It was a pleasure to sirens a few hours with him or family had a great time.

Very nice golf cart tour of the Villa and Rome (in French). Thanks to Fabienne and her singing partner:). We enjoyed it!!!
The best most comfortable way to get around Rome BY FAR. Gide was fun, funny, and knowledgeable. Riding in a golf cart is so much better than walking with a big group - which we also did. Go private and always in a golf cart. You can see more and not kilo yourself in the heat.
Thank you for sharing your thoughts! We're so glad you found the golf cart tour to be the best and most comfortable way to explore Rome. It’s great to hear that your guide was fun and knowledgeable, making the experience even more enjoyable. Choosing a private tour definitely has its perks, especially when it comes to staying cool and seeing more of the city. We appreciate your recommendation and hope you can join us again for another adventure!
A pleasant surprise that I highly recommend! This is the way to visit many remote places in a short time. Many thanks to Max for helping us discover hidden pearls from Rome! See you next🥳
