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!

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.

Francesca was amazing. We focused on a limited amount of artwork rather than superficially scanning everything and her detailed explanation of the artists and their relationships to each other was far more beneficial than a point-and-run approach. I recommend this tour highly.

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.
