Borghese Gallery Tour - The Gallery is not to be missed! But we wouldn’t have understood a fraction of the background without our fabulous tour guide, Martina. She told us the stories behind the stories, and it was wonderful. She is so knowledgeable, humorous and personable- a real gem!

Bernini as you can't imagine... - Guided tour all for us... Martina, truly exceptional. It made us appreciate and enjoy in two hours the sense and beauty and richness of the villa and Bernini's works in particular. I was moved! Thank you so much!

Tour of Borghese - This guided tour of Borghese with MARTINA was a highlight of our trip to Rome. Her passion and knowledge of the art and sculptures was superb and we felt privileged that she shared so much with us.
Fantastic experience!!

Great specialist tour - Our guide was a fashionable woman who clearly had a passion for the Borghese gallery and imparted that to us. Spent time on the first floor masterpieces of sculpture and second floor Caravaggio room with little left to see the remaining museum in 15 minutes that remained in our 2 hour window to visit. Cafe was closed good gift shop would recommend this tour to specialists rather than average visitor

Galaria Borghese - Wonderful experience. Our guide was extremely knowledgeable. We were able to have the tour on a one to one basis and see parts of the Galeria Borghese not open to the general public.

Great tour from a great tour guide. - We thought we bought tickets for entry into the Borghese, but when we got there it turned out that we'd purchased tickets for this tour. At first, we thought this was going to be boring and we were a little dismayed. As it turned out, the tour was fantastic and we're very happy that we made that little "mistake". The museum itself is incredible, with incomparable paintings, sculptures, and mosaics everywhere you look. Alessandra was our tour guide and she did an excellent job of explaining the history of the different artworks and the people and events behind them. She clearly has a passion for this art as well as deep knowledge of it (there wasn't a question asked that she couldn't answer). We greatly enjoyed the tour and highly recommend it. Sign up and you may be lucky enough to get Alessandra as your guide!

Amazing tour of Galleria Borghese - This past February I brought my friend to Rome for the first time. I wanted to show them some of my favorite places and Galleria Borghese is at the top of that list. I feared that I wouldn't be able to share the history of such a beautiful place to them so I turned to the professionals, we booked a guided tour with doooing it and I couldn't be happier! The entire process from booking to meetup and the tour was great! The staff was so polite and they really made me feel like they wanted this to be the best trip I'd ever been on.
Out guide Emanuela was so knowledgeable, I had read a few books on the history of the gallery but she was sharing so many things I hadn't learned and the entire tour was incredibly fun! My friend said it was the best thing on the trip and we're planning another visit next year, I think we will try and do the Sistine Chapel.

Unreliable, Awful customer service with no attempt to fix their mistake - I booked this trip through The Tour Guy who then uses 3rd party, Doooing, for private tour of the Borghese Gallery. I was in Rome for the last trip my mom will likely take given her health. Prior to booking the manager himself at The Tour Guy sent me the link to use (since they first told me it was include with the Colosseum based on multiple email exchanges). I used the link and both times it said it was denied YET my credit card was charged. I then emailed the Tour Guy and they confirmed that one of the two processing requests went through. I received a confirmation number and ticket via email and they personally sent this to me. The day before the tour I received a text with the link to my tickets.
I took a 40 minute taxi with my two young kids and my physically disabled parents to the Borghese Gallery to meet the Doooing tour guide. I arrived early and there was a group tour but they said they did not have a private tour guide. They called Doooing office who said "you are correct, we see your confirmation and reservation but we do not have a guide NOR the tickets to get you in Borghese Gallery." They offered to give me tickets for several hours later to enter (yet I had other pre-paid timed experiences set for that time and it was our last day in Rome). I said I will just take my 12pm tickets for entry and just forget about the guide. Then they tell me they do not even have the tickets for entry and the gallery was already sold out since the week before when I booked this through them and The Tour Guy. They never offered to "use" tickets from those in the group tours who showed up after I. Literally they were like "sorry it is our mistake but nothing we can do." I ended up leaving, taking another 40 minute taxi back to the city (so now spending close to $100 in taxi to and from). I requested immediate reimbursement for the pre-paid tour/tickets and the cost of the taxi and now 3 days later I still do not have it.
I reached out to The Tour Guy as well and they point finger to Doooing's mistake. This is after I had also booked over $1200 of private tours the two days prior with The Tour Guy. They offered me a pathetic $50 credit to another tour with them in the future. I live in the US and who knows when I will be back, clearly my mom's last trip of the life, AND I will not use either of these companies in the future. I have more to say about The Tour Guy and communication you get before and then after you actually pay for the tours. Before you get immediate responses suggesting personal company and then you book and they completely limit communication.
Highly disappointed to miss this special top 3 sites we wanted to see in Rome.
