Borghese Gallery Skip-the-Line Small-Group Guided Tour

We had first been to the Borghese in 2007, and with two friends, had an extraordinary private guide, a young American doing his doctoral work in Rome. Our Crown Tours guide on May 2nd was in every way his equal - her knowledge was encyclopedic, her enthusiasm stimulating, and she made the brief two hours seem even briefer. Regrettably. My sole regret is that I cannot remember her name.

After a bit of a slow start, our guide arrived with apologies that the scheduled guide was stuck in traffic from the marathon. And yet... It was a wonderful experience. Our guide is an art historian - so passionate about what we were seeing! This was a truly memorable tour. Our deepest thanks .

The art and setting were breath taking. Our guide was informative, engaging and knowledgeable. I selected the rating of Good over Awesome, based on the audio equipment. I frequently heard a static noise that was distracting and if better equipment could be used this would be awesome. Thank you!

The guide was great! Very nice and it showed that he had a lot of knowledge. Plenty of information and small details here and there that made the experience better. The Galeria Borghese is magnificent and because of construction works, you can get a 10€ discount to see Palazzo Barberini where most of the paintings of the Borghese are at the moment. The only thing I would say was not perfect was that it took us a while to find the guide as it was not exactly in the position it indicated in the reservation, but after asking we found him soon enough.

What a feast for the eyes! A must if you love art, sculpture and painting! Our guide Guidio was passionate. His comments were very enriching and instructive. The tour is in English. It's best to have an intermediate to good level of English to enjoy all the details of the comments.

I was happy to find tickets available through Headout. The museum was sold out. Our guide enhanced the experience of the galleries. She was extremely informative.

The guide was wonderful and very knowledgeable. She did a good job of navigating the rooms of the museum to avoid crowds.

Extremely friendly guide who was very pleasant to talk to. She really added something so you saw much more than if you had walked around without a guide

This was a beautiful museum. Well worth the stop. Our group was not too big and we could follow the guide very easily. She also has a lot of knowledge and answered questions easily.

The tour and guide were very thorough! Only the first floor of the museum was available due to renovation and it was still fantastic! They did change my tour time from the morning to afternoon which was a little frustrating because I had a tour somewhere else. Luckily Inwas able to move it. I would recommend this tour.

Good instructions on finding meeting point. Wonderful sculptures. Disappointed we couldn't see second floor paintings. Great guide

Excellent Guide, he made history come to live. Would be a good history Teacher. Very proficient and skillful. Really enjoyed the Tour. Thank you.

I had a wonderful tour with a super guide!!! He inspired all participants with his expertise, passion and lots of interesting details. Top 👍👍👍

Guido, our guide, was AWESOME. Just a font of knoeledge and such a friendly manner. It made all the difference to have him pointing out details we might otherwise have missed

The guide was amazing! Lovely person, very knowledgeable, attentive to the guests' needs, great story telling skills! She offered invaluable information and made our experience one we won't forget. The experience itself was very private, with just 5 attendees which was perfect and made us feel more immersed.

Borghese Gallery is wonderful and full of masterpieces ! The guide was great and very knowledgeable ! Two hours full of information and knowledge that we would not have had without guide. Small group, expectations met!

Our guide, Virginia, was awesome!! Kind, informative and fun! She didn't prattle on and on. Just interesting, fun and concise! Thank you!

Muito boa tour, guia muito simpática e atenciosa. A Galeria é incrível mas pouco tempo de tour para conseguir ver tudo. Correu tudo muito bem com as reservas. Recomendo headout!!!

Easy ticket buying Guide was excellent and very knowledgeable Great experience of world class art and artists well explained. Would recommend to anyone interested in art history.

It was my second time in the gallery and first visit with my mom. The guide was just excellent and very intelligent. I do not remember her name (was is Silvia?) but she cites Panofsky (among other subjects) that is already quite a cool thing.
