Thank you very much for your kind review! We are delighted to hear that you enjoyed your tour of the Borghese Gallery and its fascinating history. Thank you as well for your recommendation. We truly appreciate it and hope to welcome you again for another wonderful experience in Rome!
Despite our own gaffe with showing up almost half an hour late because instead of going to museum we went to gardens entry on the other side we had the most AMAZING and the most accommodating experience possible - our original tour guide passed us information about new tour guide and our own tour wasn’t even cut short! We were so privileged to have Eddy who is an archeologist, an enthusiastic lover of stories about the times and cross sections presented in the gallery. Eddy was incredibly informative, easy to follow, knowledgeable beyond any praise, ready to accommodate questions and attentive to our interests! We could not have asked for better experience - absolute 5 stars, for service, knowledge, convenience and overall!
Thank you very much for your wonderful review. We are truly delighted to hear that, despite the initial confusion on arrival, you had such a positive and memorable experience with our service. We always do our best to assist our guests in every situation, so it is especially rewarding to know that the tour arrangement, flexibility, and overall organization met your expectations. We are also very pleased that Eddy made the experience even more special with his knowledge, enthusiasm, and attention to your interests. It is wonderful to know that the tour was informative, engaging, and enjoyable from start to finish. Thank you again for your kind words and for appreciating both the service and the experience as a whole. We hope to welcome you again for another tour in Rome in the future.
We took two private tours with Bibbo while in Rome, both were excellent. We actually ended up with same guide for both, Stefano, and he was great, very well informed on both sites. The tours were not cheap, but we found them well worth the money for the experiences delivered.
Thank you very much for taking the time to share your experience and for your wonderful review. We are delighted to hear that both private tours met your expectations and that having the same guide for both made the experience even more enjoyable. Stefano will be especially happy to receive your kind words: we will be sure to pass them on to him.
