The Borghese Gallery tour was an amazing experience. The place is beautiful, filled with sculptures & paintings from some of Italy's most influential artists in the 16th & 17th centuries. Our tour guide, Virginia (Ginny) was so funny & vibrant. She told us the story behind Bernini's stunning sculptures in such an engaging manner, & emphasized Caravaggio's dark realism in his paintings. I gained even more of an appreciation for the artists & these masterpieces. I would highly recommend this experience!

Our guide Guido was incredible!! He was do thourough and passionate about every detail. We learned about the artists, their inspiration and many fun facts. We also enjoyed Guido's thought provoking style. He engaged our group into thoughtful conversation and contemplation. He also shared the history of the gallery and Borghese family. Do not miss Borghese Gallery !! Two hours is a perfect amount of time.

A timeless experience. The welcome was excellent, and inside the museum, the guide managed to convey her passion for the arts to us. Her explanations were top-notch. A book on Bernini was a must-have souvenir. I was delighted with this "tour."

Kudos to our guide Ivana, who helped us appreciate artistic details that we wouldn’t have noticed on our own during the tour of Villa Borghese on May 13, 2026. Hats off to her! The only two Italians in the group of French tourists
