Biorąc pod uwagę liczne i różnorodne atrakcje, które czekają na nas, gdy odwiedzamy naszą stolicę, myślę, że ważne jest, aby móc skorzystać z oferowanych pakietów, takich jak przepustka Roma, która pozwala krążyć ze spokojem i łatwością poruszania się, planować dni i ich kadencyjne wizyty. Jedyny aspekt, który bym poprawił i związaną z tym mapę, ver "że masz smartfony, ale figuratywne i" zawsze przydatne. Rzymianie są przyjemni (jeśli postawisz się we właściwy sposób ... często zapominany), to podkreślam, że ogólnie i czysty", zawsze magiczny, drugi rok, w którym robię trzy dni wizyty ... ale wrócę ....ci tęsknię za tym już ". przez Maxa i Barby'ego

The Villa Borghese was absolutely stunning. The gallery and gardens are a treat for the eyes. The transport was an added bonus.

The thing that caught our eye with this tour was the pickup facility. It was very suitable for us. The Villa Borghese is beautiful, especially the gardens. A must visit.

The art was fantastic. I had trouble getting in because I wrote down your ticket number instead of theirs but the staff was quite helpful

Przewodnik był bardzo pouczający i kompetentny. Nigdy nie byliśmy na bardziej pouczającej i przyjemnej wycieczce. Warte swojej ceny.

Dziękuję bardzo pracownikom, którzy czekali na mnie pomimo mojego spóźnienia. Niestety mój autobus się spóźnił i martwiłam się, że nie zdążę na czas, ale czekali na mnie i próbowali się do mnie dodzwonić. Dziękuję za pomoc w zobaczeniu niesamowitej sztuki podczas pobytu w Rzymie <3.

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.

Why book a Borghese Gallery tour?

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.

1/4

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.
