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.

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.

I thought my tour guide Bianca was wonderful. She was extremely knowledgeable, accessible (she kept asking us for questions!), and very personable. And she was able to make the art understable and relatable. She is a very special guide.

I highly recommend everyone visit the Borghese Gallery. The pleasant atmosphere of one of Rome's best museums. Stunning works by great masters, which the guide talks about in an interesting and captivating way.

Paulo is the best. I so much enjoyed him as our guide because he was so incredibly knowledgeable and did everything to make sure our experience was as full as possible.

The guide, Monica, was fantastic: she arrived 15 minutes early and remained calm when two young latecomers joined the group—who were already waiting—without apologizing and simply jumped right into the tour. Extremely knowledgeable and well-informed, yet clear, enthusiastic, serious, and full of humor all at once! A rare gem (and I know what I’m talking about—I’m a university professor!). She adapted well to our diverse group, answering questions without ever losing focus and demonstrating a deep knowledge of classical fine arts. It was a joy to have this experience with her.

Explore the art collection in a small group with a guide, with commentary you can follow, pacing that suits you, and time to linger in each gallery.

Meet your guide at the entrance, let them handle entry formalities, then head inside together to start your tour through the halls.

Follow your guide through the gallery spaces, moving from room to room as they point out highlights and less-known gems, responding to questions along the way.

Upgrade by choosing a private tour in English, Spanish, or Italian for greater personalization and customization.

Small group of 5 people, led by a French-speaking Italian guide who was highly knowledgeable about the paintings and sculptures in the gallery. We were able to visit all the rooms, even though the 2-hour slot was too short to observe everything properly.

Dimitri our guide was very knowledgeable and threw in some humor as well. It's an amazing collection of works of art. Great tour and one that you need to keep going back to see more. Again excellent!

Our guide, Paola, was absolutely amazing! Of all the guided tours I have done, hers was the most vibrant, informative, and energetic tour I have done. She was absolutely fantastic. If I had any criticism about the tour or the information from Headout, it would be that there was a little confusion on our part as to where we were supposed to meet our guide and how to differentiate our guide from other guides. Otherwise, 5 enthusiastic stars!

Our guide was very knowledgeable and provided background on each object we stopped to admire. She concentrated on the important sculptures and paintings in view of the 2 hour visit. In addition she was able to show the group other specific sculptures and paintings with a good story.
