Amazing tour!!! - Phenomenal tour! Our guide was incredible, and showed us the highlights of the museum and gave amazing insight into the pieces and the history behind them and the artists too. She even stayed a bit longer to show us a usually private garden that was open to the public for a special exhibition! Loved the tour and would highly recommend.

Intimate and informative - This was a great experience. Being in a small group meant that we could ask our guide questions and really see the artwork that we wanted to. The Borghese Gallery controls the amount of tourists at one time too so it is a lot less crowded than the Vatican. Our guide was friendly and was able to tell us more about any particular artwork that interested us. Would definitely recommend.

One of the Best Experiences of our Lives - From the beginning of our tour outside until the time we were done our guide captured our imagination telling the story of the Borghese family through history and how the amazing artwork was assembled. In addition our guide gave us a master’s class on each piece, better than any class I have ever had in college or graduate school. My wife and I left feeling that we had just had one of the best experiences of our lives. We are very grateful!

Great Exhibits, not crowded - This was recommended to us as something that a friend had wished they had seen. The guide was knowledgeable and clearly a huge fan of the exhibits. Very impressive, beautiful pieces of mainly sculpture and great Bernini pieces. Definitely worth the investment of time and $.

Crown and Viator took our money and delivered nothing - When we were told we were late and the tour groups was already 'DEEP' into the museum and tour, and we could just go on our own without a guide. Then when we went in, the group was literally just starting and we were told we were not allowed to join them, so in the end, we paid $150 for a VIP guided tour, and got to walk around a 2 story museum by ourselves with no guide, which we could have done for $20. Crown and Viator used no common sense and did not help us and undoubtedly will hide behind the fact we were late by 5 minutes to justify their stance.
