This 2.5 hour tour of the Villa Borghese as it is an art museum in a league of its own. Instead of trying to be encyclopedic, like the Louvre, this 17th century palace is filled with a distilled collection of the best. If you want to avoid the crows and see great art, the way it was meant to be seen, this tour is the perfect experience for you. In the 2.5 hours, you will wander the villa’s 20 room and marvel and peerless masterpieces in each one.

The Borghese museum houses an amazing collection of sculptures and, usually, paintings. For now, the 2nd floor is closed for renovation but you can see the paintings in an alternate museum for an extra 5 Euro.
We were amazed to see the Bernini sculptures in person and the tour guide was excellent. She ensured that we saw all of the major artwork and understood the style of each artist.
We are already talking about visiting the museum again.
The only challenge is that the app and voucher stated that we had to exchange our voucher for tickets at the counter and the guide was not at the appointed site at the time requested. She came shortly afterwards and she had our tickets so that made it very easy. Just the instructions were a little confusing.

The tour was great! We loved how much our tour guide knew about the art and museum’s history, she was very knowledgeable and held the group’s attention very well. We would definitely do something like this again.

It’s May 2024 and still only the first floor of the Borghese is open. Angela gave us a very spirited (she is extremely Italian and quite enthusiastic, lol) tour through the first floor, in detail that could not have been possible if the museum weren’t half closed, so that was nice. She also let us know we could use our tickets for a discount at the museum many of the paintings have gone to, but it was our last day in Rome so not helpful. We found her very entertaining and interesting, and since we know little of art we learned a bunch, which had been our goal. Be aware you will have to check any bag before going in, and you cannot even take a water bottle (though my husband had his in his pocket and they didn’t bother him about it). They do a decent job of controlling traffic so the rooms aren’t too crowded.

I booked the tour for my friends, and we had the other group around the same time. My friends told me everything was great and smooth, and the guide covered every detail, and answered all the questions you would have. The only thing is when checking in he was very concerned about if you can speak English and seemed not willing to give you an audio if you can’t speak much but ok listening, which makes it a bit awkward and weird for non English speakers. I guess the overall experience is ok from what I heard from my friends.

Disappointed. Guide was 20+ minutes late. We were then informed that third floor was closed and unavailable for viewing. Should have been advised of limitations much much sooner. Finally, there were 13 guests in the tour although our booking stated a maximum of 10.
