Fantastic tour fascinating gallery - Our guide did an excellent job on providing details and anecdotes on the most important and interesting works in this beautiful museum of classic statues and art. Our guide was extremely knowledgeable on the history and background of the Bernini and Caravaggio works. Fascinating and exciting tour! Excellent way to get the most out of this “must see” site! Highly recommend! The grounds and gardens which you can walk at your own pace were beautiful.

Super informative - The tour guide was amazing. The tour just felt rushed. We were kicked out of the museum promptly at 6:50. So the tour ended up being only about an hour and fifteen minutes. Would suggest getting an earlier time slot.
