Borghese was Astounding. We loved this tour. - This was a fabulous guide. She knew so much and her love of and excitement over the art came through very strongly. There was no line and we easily followed the guide and heard her clearly.

A short walk through a brief time in art history. - This gallery provides a beautiful tapestry of art and history during the Renaissance. Our guide was both knowledgeable and authentic in her presentation and support of this experience.

Over the top works of art frescos, sculptures and paintings - We had a great tour guide Eliana. So many times I get overwhelmed in such awesome galleries I miss important works of art. Eliana kept us focused and we got fantastic stories behind the impressive works of art. Just plan and get tickets for this Gallery, as they sell out days ahead. Usually I don’t get tour guides for art museums but because they have a two hour time limit for the museum, having a knowledgeable guide will make all the difference. Money well spent.

Great tour experience inside, don't fall for the scam outside. - The inside tour of the Galleria was great. However, the agency that offered the tour (not connected to the Galleria Borghese, separated agency) tried to scam us and make us pay extra to go inside only because we showed up 7 minutes late. If it happens to you, go talk directly to the reception desk inside the Galleria, they were super nice and they took us to our guide that had already started the tour without any problems.

Broghese Gallery tour - My friend and I had an amazing time. Our tour guide was very knowledgeable and personable through the session. She engaged with the group in asking us questions about our perception of different art pieces. Thankful for a wonderful experience!

Great guide - Really loved the commentary that our guide added— I had been here before with just the audio guide, and I learned so much more this time. Her energy and enthusiasm for art was amazing

Do this tour with Martina that makes you "feel" every masterpiece in this amazing gallery. - Our guide, Martina Sorrenti, made this experience amazing. She has a passion for the art and a lovely passionate way of sharing her knowledge with you. She speaks great English and made sure we "felt" every masterpiece in the gallery. The gallery gives you the opportunity to see many great works in a short time. Highly recommended if you don't have lots of time in Rome to see masterpieces.

Disappointed - Don’t be even a little late for your tour or you will be left at the door and not be able to access the museum at all. Would give zero stars if I could.
