Borghese gallery came as... - Borghese gallery came as a nice surprise to our trip. We didn't except us to be so invested and excited about the experience. A huge part in that played our wonderful guide Alessandra (Alex) who navigated the tour with passion, enthusiasm and a rare level of mindfulness. The gallery itself is breathtaking and can captivate anyone even if he/she is not an art savant. We would totally recommend visiting with Alex, as she elevates the experience with her knowledge, friendliness and true love of art.

Knowledgeable Guide - We visited the Borghese Museum on 12/31/24 and were delighted by our guide who made the experience accessible and interesting. She was able to condense the immense history of the museum and the artwork so well.

Just okay - The Borghese is outstanding, and the tour guide was enthusiastic, but she was fifteen minutes late, spoke too quickly with a thick Italian accent, had to to pause to find English words, and focused on Borghese family gossip and history rather than interpreting the art works.
