Incredible tour of a priceless collection - Our guide (Mattio? I’m not sure if the spelling) was incredibly knowledgeable and gave us lots of interesting information and things to look for as we made our way through this spectacular collection. Do not miss this gallery! Having an expert guide helped us to get through the collection within our allotted amount of time (set by the gallery). We will be coming back!

The Borghese Napoleon Vatican Connection - Our tour guide was wonderful! She was entertaining with stories of intrigue, created connections between families, and contrasted rivals. All building to the story of the Borghese Gallery. A delightful two hours giving insight to great European artists, power brokers in the Vatican, and western art history in general.

Go on this tour and be in awe of the beauty of the art within its walls! - Everywhere you turn in Rome is filled with wondrous art and architecture. However, one of the crown jewels is the Borghese Gallery. The word stunning does not do it justice. Sculptures, paintings, and mosaics are just a few of the many treats this place has in store. Alicia was our lively tour guide and she gave some great backstories to the pieces we viewed. She was very kind and welcomed questions. I think going here alone would be a bit overwhelming especially since the history behind the pieces gave the work so much more meaning. Finally, the size of our group was small which made it an intimate and pleasant visit. Don’t skip this tour when you go to Rome!

Beyond Our Expectations - The gallery was way beyond our expectations. The sculptures alone were mind-blowing. And our tour guide was top notch. Highly recommended. One of our favorite memories of Rome.

Worth a visit - Our second visit. We particularly really enjoyed seeing the Bernini sculptures again. However, some parts of the viewing gallery were closed off this time and we didn't feel the venue offered value for money on this occasion. Prebooking essential as it sells out.
