Just standing in front of the Pantheon is thrilling enough, and being able to quickly go inside and appreciate every detail of this historic monument is even better. There are so many stories surrounding this place; being able to visit the tomb of the King of Italy is simply amazing. The engineering behind the Pantheon’s construction is fantastic—truly the work of geniuses in such a precarious era. I loved everything, but I’d love a quick shower so I could witness the spectacle of water pouring through the opening in the roof. In short: fantastic.

Quick and easy access to the site. The audio guide on the phone is convenient. However, its functionality could be improved in terms of the geographical location of the works described.

The villa is a spendid example of a combination of Baroque art architecture and Roman and Greek art statues and other artefacts. As a bonus you get the paintings, where Carvaggio is the winner. Only the 6 paintings of him are a good reason to visit.

Top things to do in Rome

After much anticipation, you’ve arrived at the Borghese Gallery in Rome and thousands of paintings and sculptures lie ahead of you, waiting to be appreciated. Maybe you’ve heard of the few ‘famous’ ones, like Caravaggio’s David with the Head of Goliath, or Raphael’s Lady with the Unicorn. But the museum has so much more to offer, and you’re curious to learn about the rest. Here’s where an expert guide comes to the rescue.

Be led into room after room of sheer mastery and technical skill across a variety of mediums, from canvas to marble and more. Learn about artistic techniques and prominent art movements that have shaped creative expression over centuries.

Borghese Gallery tours
  • Learn from an expert: Perhaps you’ve never heard of the art technique ‘chiaroscuro’. Or are still unclear on what the word ‘Baroque’ means. A guide-cum-art historian will explain all these terms to make your visit enriching and educational.
  • Small groups: Booking a small-group guided tour means that you’ll get the chance to interact freely and more intimately than in a larger group, where you can feel lost. The guide will also be able to pay more individual attention to you in this setting. 
  • Priority access: Since Borghese Gallery allows timed entry and you can only enter during your slot, you get to automatically bypass the lines and enter the museum without waiting. This allows your guide to directly lead you to the best bits of the museum so you can make the most of your tour.
  • Efficient exploration: The gallery can be a little overwhelming to navigate by yourself. With a guided tour, you can explore the gallery more efficiently and cover all the major highlights.

Apollo and Daphne

Bernini's Apollo and Daphne in the Borghese Gallery portrays the tragic myth of Apollo pursuing the nymph Daphne, who transforms into a tree to evade him after being struck by Cupid's arrow.

David with the Head of Goliath

Caravaggio's remarkable self-portrait stands out at the Borghese Gallery. Painted during his fugitive years, it depicts David holding Goliath's severed head, which is believed to symbolize Caravaggio himself. The contrast between vibrant David and desolate Goliath showcases Caravaggio's mature artistry, marked by dark tones and intense emotion.

Melissa, Dosso Dossi

The majestic oil painting inspired by Raphael, depicts the sorceress, holding a tablet and a torch, who freed knights from the curse of Alcina, an evil fairy, by transforming them from trees, stones, and animals to their human forms.

The Deposition

This artwork depicts the moment when Christ's body is taken down from the cross and mourned by his loved ones. Considered to be one of Raphael's most profound works, the painting is known for its exceptional use of color and composition.

A guided tour enhances your visit by providing expert insights into the Renaissance and Baroque masterpieces. Your guide —who’s well-versed with the layout of the museum and its top artworks — will help you efficiently navigate the gallery, ensuring you don’t miss any highlights.
