Beautiful artworks and an esthete as guide - Amazing, these beautiful artworks and all the stories behind. The painters have been artists but also rebels in one. To understand their message in their works and not at least to transfer these to the viewer there need to be an esthete like Agnese, our guide. I was very touched by your extensive knowledge and the wonderfully lively nature of your presentations. Thank you very much, Angnese. I can recommend these tour very much.

Outstanding Experience - We had toured the Borghese a number of years ago, but Frederico was an outstanding guide. He carefully moved us to rooms where we both could see and experience the insights he offered. This included the room and its relation to the sculptures. He was inviting, welcomed questions and navigated seamlessly through the centuries.We highly recommend this engaging and professional tour.

Wonderful Tour of Borghese - Guide was so passionate about the art and sharing with our tour. Yes, as of November '24 there is some art that is waiting to be exhibited for jubilee 2025, but there was so much that she went in depth with us. Wonderful.

The tour adds to your experience. - Having a tour guide was extremely valuable to the enjoyment of the Borghese Gallery. She told us the backstories of various important art pieces. With her guidance we appreciated the paintings and sculptures so much more than if we saw them on our own. Worth every penny!

Awful company - Don't EVER book with Viator. They will not let you change the date of your tour even in extenuating circumstances when it would cost them practically nothing. Other tour companies in Rome will do so. Tell your hotel not to recommend them and warn your friends, family and business associates to never use them. There are plenty of other tour companies out there--never book with Viator.

Given the third floor construction, this is way overpriced...... - The Tour Guide was excellent. My one star rating is not related to him. The gallery's third floor was under construction and was not visited. For the full price I paid I would have expected the entire gallery. The fact that construction was underway should have been stated and the price should have been reduced accordingly. I am not happy with this.
