We met our tour guide, Rosa, at the museum. Rosa was holding a sign with my name making it very easy to connect. We booked a private tour for 4. Our husbands decided to skip this activity so it was just 2 of us on this private tour. Rosa was incredibly friendly, professional, & decisive in her tour. She took us through the museum chronologically which involved going out of order. We would have never known to do this without Rosa. She made sure we saw the Bernini sculptures and explained the history behind each one. I can’t say enough about Rosa. After our tour she walked with us outside and gave us tips on what to do in Florence with our guide. We really appreciated Rosa & her vast knowledge of the Galleria Borghese!

Our guide, Julia greeted us with a huge smile and her love for this gallery made the tour a real joy. She shared many stories and information about the masterpieces and the artists as well as the Borghese family and their role in the Italian Renaissance. This history is more dramatic than fiction and the two hours left me wanting more. She brought it all to life in a fully enjoyable, relevant, private tour. It is so worth the extra money to have a private guide for this once-in-a-lifetime visit.

We had a great experience, it was a very informative and professional tour. Too bad the museum would only give 2 hours for a visit. If given the chance I would go back for a second visit. Our guide Vincenzo was excellent.
