Awesome tour!

5.00The tour was excellent. We arrived a few minutes late and were worried we might miss it, but the guide kindly waited for us, reassured us, and immediately began preparing us for the gallery experience. From start to finish, this was one of the best tours we have taken. The guide was exceptionally knowledgeable, spoke perfect English, and explained the art with clarity and enthusiasm, making every piece engaging and memorable. Even some of my family members who were reluctant to visit “yet another museum in Rome” ended up saying this was one of their favorite museums and tours of the trip. I highly recommend this tour!
An amazing tour with an outstanding guide

5.00Wow! Frederica was AMAZING! I wish I could take 100 more tours with her! She taught us so much about Borghese, Bernini, Caravaggio, the Popes, the models, the ceilings, the decorations etc. She made the paintings and sculptures come alive! I wish we could have spent even more time in the Gallery, as there was so much to see and experience. Seeing the famous Bernini sculptures and the Caravaggio paintings in person was magical. I highly recommend this tour!
Excellent and very interesting

5.00Our guide, Federico, was absolutely outstanding. He was incredibly knowledgeable, engaging, and passionate about the art and history of the Borghese Museum, which made our visit truly unforgettable. The audio system worked perfectly, so we never missed a word, and the group size was just right….large enough for great energy but small enough to feel personal. If you are fortunate enough to have Federico as your guide, you’re in for a real treat!
