Uncomplicated. The guide was experienced and left plenty of time for questions. We still had 15 minutes to look around ourselves afterwards, so if you don't like baroque, you don't need to come.David

I usually try to avoid guided tours but in this case, this experience made me change my mind. The guide was great and he expalined very well all interesting facts and details. Even thought I am not an English expert, I understood everything and was amazed of the details that I wouldn't have noticed without a guide. Thank youPhilippe

Our guide was very interesting, well beyond expectations. She took us back to Bernini's time, an unforgettable experience.
Few museums in the world can match the grandeur of the Borghese Gallery. It houses art collections by legendary painters and sculptors such as Berini, Messina, Raphael, Caravaggio, and many others. The wealthy Cardinal Scipione Borghese originally assembled these works of art. The Borghese Family continued to add pieces to the incredible collection.
Some artworks were sold to the French State during the 19th century as the Borghese family went bankrupt. These pieces are still preserved in the Louvre. Since 1903, the museum has been open to the public and has seen significant restoration and modernization work.
On your visit, you will be accompanied by an expert guide, who will narrate interesting anecdotes related to the museum and the pieces of art inside. Gaze into the depths of Bernini’s famous sculpture of ‘Apollo and Daphne’, Lady with Unicorn By Raphael, Paulina Bonaparte By Cavona, Apollo and Daphne By Bernini, and The Rape of Proserpina By Bernini. The history behind the works of art and how they came to be in the Borghese Gallery, explained by the guide, is just as intriguing as the art pieces.
Visit the Borghese Gardens and stroll around the lush landscapes for its fountains and to get a glimpse of Rome's panoramic views.
