Uncomplicated. The guide was experienced and left plenty of time for questions. We still had 15 minutes to look around ourselves afterwards, so if you don't like baroque, you don't need to come.

Guide was so informative and knowledgeable. We have never been on a more enlightening and enjoyable tour. Well worth the cost for the guidance.
The Borghese Gallery was very impressive, especially the Bernini sculptures, unbelievable. Our guide was just fabulous. She had incredible passion!
The Borghese Gallery is an amazing attraction and a must see in Rome. Our guide Zenda made our experience unique, her enthusiasm and knowledge shared during the tour is impressive.
I usually try to avoid guided tours but in this case, this experience made me change my mind. The guide was great and he expalined very well all interesting facts and details. Even thought I am not an English expert, I understood everything and was amazed of the details that I wouldn't have noticed without a guide. Thank you
Our guide was very interesting, well beyond expectations. She took us back to Bernini's time, an unforgettable experience.

Hello This tour was very expensive: 75 euros for just two hours is too much. The tour was good, but the excessive price didn't seem justified. The regular entrance fee is not high, so you pay a lot for the rest. I don't think your guide collects 60 euros a head. We took this only option to enter at this time and you changed our time from 15:00 to 9:00 without any explanation . Disappointing that too. I will not recommend you.

A guide with incredible knowledge, who explained everything very clearly and was also very friendly, which is something we hadn't experienced in the Vatican Museums. The tour was an enrichment and despite the variety and the way it was presented, it was not overwhelming. I took away a lot of information and contexts that I couldn't read up on. Thank you!

The tour with the guide Ivana is passionate and exciting She maintains the suspense and tells us a beautiful story. Without her, the visit would have been fine because the place is magnificent, but with her it's an enchantment.

We were on the Borguese Museum at the 1000hrs tour on Sat. March 22, 2025. It was a very enriching experience, thanks to our guide Scarlet. She deserves a standing ovation due to the professionalism she demonstrated during the two hours of the tour. Grateful, Rocío and Eric Cohen Panamá, Rep. of Panama
The guide was passionate and fascinating. She told us a lot about the history of art and the sculptures and paintings were very interesting and magnificent.

Everything. From 'organizing the tickets to visiting the uncle. Only flaw: some animals are enclosed behind glass windows and I didn't like that. I remember when I went as a little girl, it wasn't like that.

The Borghese Gallery is only a fragment of the wider Villa Borghese, a sprawling real estate comprising gardens, fountains, eateries, art-and-culture arenas and more.
The 17th-century Villa Borghese was commissioned by the Borghese family and designed by Flaminio Ponzio. Located atop the Pincian Hills in Rome and surrounded by the gardens, the villa has a light and airy structure adorned with reliefs and ancient sculptures. It now houses the Borghese Gallery, which showcases Italian Renaissance and Baroque art.
Access: Included with Borghese Gallery tickets.
Transformed from vineyards in the 1600s by a Cardinal and revamped in 1903 to suit English tastes, the gardens form the green lung of Rome. With 90+ points of interest, it hosts attractions like the National Gallery of Modern and Contemporary Art, Bioparco Di Roma Zoo, and Villa Medici.
Access: Garden entry is free. However, landmarks within the gardens may have entry fees.

There are two main entrances used by the visitors to enter the premises:
The current exhibition at the Borghese Gallery marks a historic first, showcasing the work of female artist Louise Bourgeois for the first time in the gallery’s history. The exhibition focuses on pieces that intertwine her memory with the collective and public memory of the museum itself. Bourgeois was deeply influenced by the psychoanalytical school of thought, and her initial visits to the Borghese Gallery keenly influenced her approach to imagining how old art forms interact with the new.
Last date of exhibition: September 15, 2024.
