WHAT'S INCLUDED

WHAT TO EXPECT

1. Villa Borghese
The best way for us to describe the Villa Borghese gardens is: As the keeper of the Villa Borghese Pinciana, I publicly declare: whoever you are, providing to be a freeman, fear no hindrance here; go where you like, ask what you wish; leave when you want. Everything you see was made more for the guest than for its landlord. In the golden century, when peaceful years made any thing splendid for the refined ones, the landlord forbade all iron rules for the guest. Let good faith be the only rule for our friend. But if someone, consciously and purposely, by wickedness and deceit, was to break the golden rules of courtesy, be alert, the angry keeper may break these friendly words on your head. (Latin inscription carved on marble plate at Villa Borghese).
2. Galleria Borghese
We will visit one of the world’s most beautiful art museum hosting the works of extraordinary artists such as Bernini, Caravaggio, Canova and Raffaello. The gallery’s most important sculptures and paintings are from Cardinal Scipione Borghese’s collection (1579 - 1633). We’ll admire Caravaggio’s most important paintings, among which “Young sick Bacchus” and “ Boy with a basket of fruit”; Bernini and Canova’s magnificent sculptures’ collection, boasting works like “Apollo and Daphne”, “David”, “The rape of Preserpina” and “Paolina Bonaparte”. Of course we won’t miss out on Raffaello’s “Entombment of Christ”. We will lead you through the marvelous rooms of Casina Borghese, with its splendid frescoes, we’ll disclose the secrets, the stories and the painting techniques concealed behind the masterpieces of one of the world’s most beautiful art museum. To end the tour, we’ll walk through the Villa Borghese gardens, enjoying its beauty and calm far from the roman chaos.

Hot and overcrowded. Can't even enter with a cross body bag so have to stand in line for 20 minutes. Too many people in gallery. Park is unkept. Not at all what I expected

This was an effective way to get tickets since they were sold out through the gallery. I wish I had acted earlier to get gallery tickets.

Avoid this company!
We booked our tour 6 months in advance.
Our tour guide never showed up on a morning of the excursion for Burghese gallery. After a wait we called them and they claimed that tour was canceled night before and they sent us a message (that we never received). To get a refund they told me to call number that was disconnected. It's a scam!

Federico was a fantastic guide, we learned a lot about the museum and the context in which Bernini and Caravaggio, among others, realized their works. A ten!

The gallery was simply stunning. Only the first floor is open due to construction, but everything is packed into that area. It was an excellent trip, and the skip the line ticket guide was easy to find and easy to work with.

Guido was a spectacular guide. His passion for and knowledge of the art and sculpture made it so enjoyable. Slightly disappointed because the second floor exhibits were moved to another location (you could visit at any time on the same ticket) and we were leaving the following morning, so we could not visit those.

A beautiful place to admire beautiful art. Very relaxed atmosphere , but you definitely need to reserve a ticket. There were quite a few disappointed people trying for last minute tickets.
