Per one customer who booked the Rome: Borghese Gallery and Gardens Small Group Guided Tour, "Frederika was our tour guide and I do not know how to express how wonderful her tour was. Before we went upstairs, I started tearing up because I knew there was so much passion from the beginning of her introduction. This tour was about to change my life slightly. Frederika was so easy to understand, graceful with her tone and accommodating with everyone in the group; continuously asking if we had questions."

Yes, the Borghese Gallery sells limited timed tickets (valid for a 2-hour visit) each day, so they sell out quickly and must be reserved in advance. Tickets are only sold online and cannot be purchased at the museum entrance.

Gallery Borghese sells limited tickets for each time slot during the day, so the museum is never overcrowded. The busiest times to visit are on weekends and holidays, while weekdays (especially in winter) are quieter.
