Appreciate art like a collector with a visit to the Borghese Gallery and Gardens. Carefully controlled entry means that unlike the nearby Vatican Museums, this collection of masterpieces is never crowded. The gallery includes pieces by Raphael and Bernini, and the tour includes the Borghese Gardens: a peaceful oasis amid the chaos of the capital.

This was my favorite tour we did in Rome. Not only for the beautiful sculptures and ceilings, but for our amazing guide to talked us through each piece as a compelling story. Our tour guide, Emmanuella (spelling?), was fantastic, walking us around each statue to see the changes in story from each angle. When she said "this museum is a woman" we were sold. Thank you so much!

Bernini and Caravaggio were geniuses. What a joy to see their original work close up! Our guide was very informed and we learned a lot thank you!

Finding the location of the gallery was extremely difficult, and having been charged £125.00 for two tickets by trip advisor we learnt that the second floor of the villa was closed for renovation- this held most of the valuable works of art that we had come to see. Very expensive for what it was and felt that we should have been told that half the gallery was closed before being charged top price for tickets

Very small place and couldn’t get the cheaper tickets from Borghese. I guess scalpers buy them all and then you have to buy from the scalpers at their inflated prices. It’s worth every penny. You can walk through the beautiful park afterwards as well.

Esmanuelda (sp?) was a great tour guide with a wealth of historical knowledge. Her presentation of the contrast in Michaelangelo's David and Bernini's was intriguing, memorable, and entertaining. Highly recommend her.

We totally enjoyed the tour and our guide is awesome! She’s a Latvia girl and has lived in Russia and Italy. You can tell she loves her job and is always friendly and patience with her group members. Wonder experience!
