Visiting the Vatican is not just a tour; it’s a profound encounter with the pinnacle of human creativity and spiritual heritage. From the moment you step into St. Peter’s Square, the scale of the architecture humbles you.

Delighted with this visit. The museum is really worth seeing. Very large and magnificent. A little disappointed with the chapel, part of which is under construction. I expected it to be bigger.

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.

The access and attraction itself were perfect. I didn't give it 5 stars because the host didn't show up at the meeting point and I had to contact them to find out what was going on. Once I called, they arrived within 5 minutes.

It was a good experience, it was easy to make reservations, and the convenient queue skipping saves you long waits to get in to visit the desired places...

We had a guided tour at the Galleria Borghese yesterday and it was excellent. Our guide, Lorenzo, spoke perfect English and was very easy to understand. The tour was very interesting, and he showed us all the highlights and explained everything clearly. There were no regular tickets available, so we booked the guided tour instead - and we absolutely did not regret it. It was worth every cent and we would definitely recommend a guided tour to anyone who really wants to get the most out of the Galleria.

If you are thinking about buying a ticket, it is really worth it. It will allow you to go to the queue, where you will wait a maximum of 30 minutes. Without a ticket, the queuing time is more than 4 hours

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.
