Roman Forum - The Roman Forum, also known by its Latin name Forum Romanum, is a rectangular forum surrounded by the ruins of several important ancient government buildings at the center of the city of Rome.
The political and business centre of ancient Rome, the warn away paths are covered in history. This is where the citizens came to listen to speeches, to meet the senators or to see people like Julius Caesar or Cicero. The ruins tell a story, and it is the story of Rome and its politics, with the likes of the ancient Curia (the Senate) that is still visible, but also with the impressive marble columns of temples which were erected for the first time in V century BC. -

Beauty in the fine details - A wonderful collection of amazing artists. The insightful tour guide highlighted details that would not have been observed otherwise. Definitely an enjoyable experience filled with history and passion that inspires.

Couldnt be better - Our first time to Villa Borghese. Although our tour was rather expensive, and a few too many people, our guide was terrific. Passionate about his subject, and brought the history to life. Although the rooms and exhibits were so wonderful it made his job look easy.
Our only issue was we included hotel pick-up. On time and really nice car, but driver did not know exactly where to meet our guide! Found him in the end. We had expected that a return trip back to hotel would have been automatically included.

Excellent Tour - We arranged this tour through our hotel the day before and would never have been able to see the gallery otherwise because of the rebooking requirements. Our guide Alex was fantastic - so knowledgeable and made us understand and appreciate the works of art in a way we would never get on our own. Our group was just our family of four (including two teenagers) and one other person. Alex did a great job of keeping my 13 year old son engaged. My only complaint was we had to go very fast and still didn’t see the whole gallery (but this is due to the time slot limitations of the gallery itself) and didn’t get to see the actual gardens of the gallery. The park the gallery is located in is nice to explore and a break from the normal crazy crowds of Rome. You should know that you can’t take any purses or backpacks in to the gallery and you must check everything in a storage area that is manned behind a counter but is just cubbies and not locked. This was unexpected and felt quite unnerving to leave our stuff, but it all worked out fine.

Fantastic small group tour led by Francesca - Galleria Borghese was maybe our favorite stop in Rome and that was in large part due to the wonderful tour provided by Francesca. She provided great insight about the artwork in the museum and Rome's history in general. After the official tour of the museum she continued to walk part of the Villa Borghese with us and made several recommendations for the park and Rome in general. Francesca's tour and hands on approach definitely made a wonderful experience into an unforgettable one.

absolutely excellent - we thought that this tour of the Borghese gallery and gardens with Francesca was wonderful. She is unbelievably knowledgeable, and made the 3 hours fascinating and imparted knowledge in a way that we could really relate to. She is a gifted guide. Seeing this gallery without a guide would almost be a waste of time for me, who knows little about art. The tour was worth every dollar and will be one of our fondest memories of our trip

Just a brilliant 3 hours that flew by - We did this tour with guide Francesca Calvani a week ago - wow, what a good choice and good luck. We have been to Italy now 5 times in May, and each time take a few small group tours to see important galleries or archaeology sites. Without any doubt in my mind, Francesca is the most engaging passionate guide I have struck in my many years of travel. We found her insights fascinating and informative, and the 3 hours tour of the Borghese and gardens was over too soon! Given the difficulty getting general admission tickets to the Borghese, with only a day left in Rome we decided to pay the extra and do this tour on our last day. How lucky was that!
Just brilliant - many thanks.

Great Tour guide! - I forgot the tour Guide name. He was very knowledgeable and kind. The art work was good but it was too long for same all things, coming from NYC. You need strong legs for this. There is so much things to see in Rome. If I am coming back to Rome, I would not come here again.
