I loved how easy it was to use. Also, we were only able to get tickets to the coliseum because of the Roma Pass. Al the tours and tickets were sold out however the coliseum official website reserves a certain amount for Roma Pass members and release them the day of. We used the Roma Pass for the bus, metro, and sites.

The tour started on time and the group wasn't big. We found our guide easily at the meeting point. The tour was in English as we'd booked it. Our guide was Italian and he was very friendly, kind and knowledgeable about the topic and art in general. Thank you, Dimitri, for the amazing experience and knowledge you unselfishly shared with us yesterday. We really appreciate it and we truly enjoyed our time in Gallery Borghese. We kindly recommend this tour to everyone who wants to experience beauty and to see unbelievable and unique art collection.

The ticketing experience was clear, quick, and very easy to complete--kudos to the app design team! Checking in near the Gallerie was also simple and straightforward, with everyone helpful and friendly. The tour itself was phenomenal! Alessandra is clearly a master of her topic -- the art, the historical context, and the human -centered stories that bring the world of the Borghese and the Collection itself so vividly to life. For instance, hearing the stories behind the Caravaggio and Bernini pieces in the Gallerie made for a far richer experience than I otherwise would have enjoyed. I learned; I laughed; and at moments was simply awestruck. The time seemed to fly by -- over too soon! I could have listened to Allessandra all day. Now I am inspired to dig in deeper and learn more, not only about the Collection but the history of Rome in general. Gracie mille! *** The golf cart tour was also a wonderful experience, and I highly recommend it as a follow-on to the gallery. I can't remember the name of my guide, unfortunately, but he was a knowledgeable and amiable young man, and it was a real treat to see the beauty of the grounds as I was was learning about its history. My guide took the time to stop and let us get out at an overlook, with an amazing view of the city, and a great photo op.

It was much easier getting tickets into Galleria Barberini than the Bhorgese Gallery since 50 artworks have been moved from Bhorgese to Barberini. Very easy getting tickets online and you just show up at the Barberini venue. The paintings were amazing and so gorgeous which were set in an amazing palazzo. Bonus - Very nice bistro cafe upstairs at the gallery in the Barbetini palazzo gardens, so pretty and serene. Cafe was lovely and spacious at the lovely garden.

The tour was excellent. Unfortunately we were never picked up and we were waiting at 7:30 for a 7:45 pickup. Called US number and spoke with someone who transferred me to someone else who never answered. So not only were we out the extra for transportation- which I would expect you to refund- but also had to take a cab at the last minute in order to make the tour

Wonderful museum with many works by Caravagio! We just had to wait for our time slot, but 1.5 hours is enough to see everything Too bad there is so little documented with the works, that's really a miss!

Bought through Headout after tickets were no longer availabe through the museum directly. Paid a couple of euros extra per ticket, but got value for that--a local expert handed us our tickets (no line) and told us where things were. The gallery has an amazing collection, but could use better and more comprehensive descriptions of the collection. Bought the audio guide, but found a number of pieces described weren't on display.
