5.00Art historian Viktoria with Crown Tours was very kind to share her intimate knowledge of the significant and beautiful collection of the Borghese Gallery. The tour lasted just under two hours and flew by as we took in the twenty rooms of masterpieces from the Baroque era. This guided tour is highly recommended.
