We thoroughly enjoyed our tour of the Borghese Gallery with Agnes (Agnese). She was exceptionally knowledgeable, professional, and clearly passionate about both the collection and the history surrounding it. Rather than presenting isolated facts, she wove the artworks into a coherent historical narrative that gave us a much deeper appreciation of the collection as a whole. She was friendly, engaging, and obviously well qualified to guide the tour. We especially appreciated that she generously gave us an extra fifteen minutes to discuss Raphael, which was a wonderful way to conclude an already excellent experience.

Picking up the ticket from the Head Out representative was easy; she showed me how to use the Galleria Borghese app. The Galleria is incredible—it’s definitely worth a visit. Seeing the works by Bernini and Caravaggio, in particular, is a must! However, I should mention that I had an issue with the ticket purchase: I bought a guided tour ticket for a specific time slot, and Headout contacted me two days prior to inform me that this option was no longer available and offered other time slots on the same day, but without a guide. This caused some inconvenience because I was with a group of friends who were scheduled for the same time slot.

The Borghese Gallery houses an incredible collection of art! Some paintings and pieces of sculpture are our favorites in the world. Our tour guide increased our enjoyment and appreciation of the art and artists. We plan to return the next time we are in Rome, and bring our family!!

The tour was run by the 'The Tour Guy' and the guide did a good job. Was on time, interacted well with the group members and was very knowledgeable about the extraordinary art works. The gallery can be warm on a hot day so be prepared but a worthwhile experience.

Alessandra was a great guide who shared her obvious passion and knowledge about the paintings and sculptures in the collection. She was clear and easy to understand. A fascinating in-depth oratory on a selection of the most well known and interesting artworks.

Excellent organization. The guide was professional, knowledgeable, well-prepared, and extremely engaging in terms of the emotions he evoked and stirred. An unforgettable experience for an art lover. Paolo
