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.

5 stars out of 5 because the gallery was amazing and our tour gide Ana was lovely and knowledgeable BUT the fact that I paid 100 euros for 2 hours and in fact we spent only 1 hour because the gallery closes at 7:00 pm on the dot and I booked the 5:30 slot was really dissapointing. If I knew beforehand I would have picked an earlier slot. We didn't get to see the next floor because the gallery was closing. For anyone that wants to book this: don't choose the 5:30 slot, you will not be able to see everything!

Our guide was wonderful. She really knew how to engage the children. The Borghese Gallery is an exceptional place—a must-see at least once in a lifetime. Personally, it took my breath away. Our guide really helped us enjoy the experience. I’d even say that a guided tour is essential to fully appreciate the visit.

Emiliano was everything you'd want in a tour guide -- someone extremely knowledgeable about the works in the Borghese Gallery, the historical context, but also capable of transmitting his passion for the masterpieces through his explanations. With a bit of humour as well! Had a great time and learned so much.

A very interesting and engaging guided tour; the guide selected works that covered a variety of interests, ranging from paintings to sculptures; in terms of organization—including the meeting point with the guide and punctuality—it was top-notch. An experience I’d be happy to repeat.

Overall, everything was great, but I have to mention that I arrived at the meeting point five minutes late because I got lost in the gardens, and they were very, very kind to wait for us. I’d also like to highlight the guide’s extensive knowledge, especially regarding mythology.
