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.

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!

Bardzo szczegółowa i interesująca wycieczka po zakamarkach historii Coloseum i Forum Romanum. Przewodniczka Lucy to wielka pasjonatka Starożytnego Rzymu. Wszystko co opowiadała , słuchało się z przyjemnością. Sama organizacja wycieczki na najwyższym poziomie. Nie mieliśmy żadnych problemów ani ze znalezieniem punktu początkowego ani w czasie jej trwania. Czuliśmy się w pełni zaopiekowani i zarażeni pasǰą przewodniczki Lucy. Bardzo polecamy!!!
