Our guide (forgive me, his name escapes us) was on time, engaging, extremely knowledgeable, humorous, patient. His energy was electric he just drew you in, whilst touring the various rooms, he' was often within our crowd, not just following him, (we were his apostles) surrounded him as we moved. His unique style of explaining the objects he was somehow relates it to our current "society". You are were captivating. Thank you for the knowlege.

We travelled from Ireland and had my most favourite tour ever with the best guide ever, Mitra. Thank you Mitra for the most knowledgeable and well presented tour that I've attended. The animated and passionate presentation of the Bernini sculptures with Caravaggios paintings and the stories behind them were riveting for the duration of the tour. Thank you for the experience.

The experience was excellent. Booking was easy, clear directions for where to meet and the communication by the company and Litiberi Travel was great. Our guide, Susanna, was very thorough and did a good job of really helping us understand the importance of the various works of art and the artists themselves. Highly recommend this tour group.

The tour was run by an art history major - with a masters and beyond. The room space on each floor was not large - two floors. But the paintings and sculptures were beyond great. He walked and talked about the central theme in each room. I'm not a art person - but do appreciate how beautiful sll of it was in this gallery.

Our guide was fantastico! Very informative and pleasant. It's a long time standing so comfortable shoes are a must. The art work is impressive. Great staff throughout. Rent the two person bicycles in the gardens for a super fun ride around the garden grounds.

This was a truly fantastic tour. The Borghese Gallery is stunning, housing incredible masterpieces by Caravaggio, Titian, Bernini, and many others. Our guide was exceptional. I unfortunately didn't catch his name, but I have attached his photo so the organisers can hopefully identify him. He was so engaging that even my teenage son — who usually hates art gallery tours — thoroughly enjoyed it. Time flew by so fast that when our guide announced it was time to say goodbye, my son was genuinely surprised and even a bit disappointed that it was over. This tour was worth every single penny we spent. Highly recommended!
