We had the pleasure of visiting the Borghese Gallery accompanied by tour guide Ivana, and the experience was truly extraordinary. With great passion, expertise, and engaging skills, Ivana helped us discover the beauty and hidden details of this wonderful place. Her explanations were clear, interesting, and full of fascinating facts that made the visit even more captivating. Thanks to her, we not only admired the works, but also gained a better understanding of the history, context, and meaning of the masterpieces on display. Ivana is a knowledgeable, kind guide who is able to convey her enthusiasm. We highly recommend a visit with her to anyone who wants to experience the Borghese Gallery in a more profound and engaging way.

Our guide from 'Once upon a time' at 10am November 18th for the Galleria Borghese was incredible. We apologize if we get her name wrong, but Alessia was so engaging, so knowledgeable, and weaved such an intriguing discussion of the art and sculpture together-we didn't want it to end. She is a local Roman and her pride of ownership really showed! We could not have been luckier to be matched with such a wonderful person and guide. She is a wonderful asset to your company. Sincerely, Rosanne Giannuzzi

We had a guided tour at the Galleria Borghese yesterday and it was excellent. Our guide, Lorenzo, spoke perfect English and was very easy to understand. The tour was very interesting, and he showed us all the highlights and explained everything clearly. There were no regular tickets available, so we booked the guided tour instead - and we absolutely did not regret it. It was worth every cent and we would definitely recommend a guided tour to anyone who really wants to get the most out of the Galleria.
