Fantastic experience - Beautiful works of art and sculpture. Our tour guide, Virginia was extremely knowledgeable and made each piece come alive with the backstory and the interpretation as an art historian. Very engaging and a fantastic storyteller. Highly recommended

Fabulous! - Fabulous! Absolutely Fabulous. On our own we would have been overwhelmed by the building alone and have learned nothing! Our guide was outstanding!

Sumptuous visit to the Gallery - The Borghese gallery is Rome’s most sumptuous art experience. Though it is a lot more crowded and overwhelming on a sunny Saturday morning than my prior visit. Our guide was fun and engaging, and his mastery of getting us into and out of the rooms on time and efficiently was remarkable. We engaged directly with all the major works, except a couple of Botticelli’s (not his fault), but even then wanted more time. The tour was 1.75 hours. Recommend this gallery and, if you want a tour, recommend Love Rome.

Great guide! Beautiful Museum - The Museum is a must see! Such amazing sculptures! Tour worked like clockwork…timed entrance, not overwhelmingly crowded. Tour guide Alicia (I believe) knows her stuff. She was charming. The audio worked great! I had to duck out early & didn’t have an opportunity to tip her, which I regret. Highly recommended

Better for the experience. - The Villa Borghese is fabulous in and of itself. Add professional and personable guide, Guido and you have a rich and meaningful experience. Guido provided context and insight that otherwise would not have been my experience. It was enriching and very satisfying. Even those who are not fans of art would enjoy and benefit by seeing the amazing works and understanding the influences by which they came to exist. I'm very grateful for the experience and the light Guido provided.

Fabulous guide. Completely misssold (and we were very glad of it!) - Wonderful guide. Completely misleading title. Not Canova’s masterpieces but general tour through the Villa, focusing on Bernini, Raffaello, Algardi and Caravaggio (plus one marvelous Canova) We were very glad of it.

Absolutely worth it - This was a beautiful way to see the museum efficiently! Our guide was extremely knowledgeable and clearly passionate about the museum and treasures inside. I only have a basic foundation in Italian art and artists, and it was wonderful to have our guide discuss not only the pieces but the art in context in its time and impact thereafter. This was the highlight of our trip for me.
