FAQ:
Is entry included? Yes — pre-booked timed-entry admission is included. The Galleria Borghese admits a limited number of visitors in two-hour slots, so your reserved access is guaranteed.

How long is the tour? Approximately 2 hours. Please note: the tour booked for the 5:45 PM (17:45) slot lasts 1 hour instead of 2, due to the gallery's closing time.
Is a guide included? Depending on the option you select, the tour is led by an expert guide or accompanied by an audioguide.
How does the audioguide work? If you select the audioguide option, download the POP Guide app before arriving at the meeting point, and bring your own headphones. This way you're ready to start as soon as your tour begins.
Do I need to choose a time slot? Yes — the Galleria Borghese operates on mandatory timed entry. You'll enter at your reserved slot.
Are large bags allowed? No — large bags and backpacks must be left in the gallery cloakroom before entering.
This tour/activity will have a maximum of 15 travellers

Great visit with good...

Great visit with good price. It is not always easy to get last-minute tickets to the museum but Viator made it easy!

The tour was easy to...

Sona_O, Aug 2026

The tour was easy to book. We were very surprised that Galleria Borghese offered evening tours. It was much better time to visit, less crowded and less hot. We really enjoyed the tour and impressive artworks in Galleria.

Fantastico experience

Lacey_W, July 2026

Our guide ignited everyone's interest in the renaissance and baroque and the major artists of the time. Our appreciation went deeper. It was awesome!

Response from Host, July 2026

Thank you for your wonderful feedback! We’re delighted that your guide brought the Renaissance and Baroque masterpieces of Villa Borghese to life, making your visit even more meaningful. We hope to welcome you again soon for another unforgettable experience! Enjoy Rome Customer Care Team

Loved the Borghese...

Kathleen_L, June 2026

Loved the Borghese Gallery itself. We were offered a last minute free upgrade with a guide that we accepted. However, it would have been better to have gone through this beautiful gallery on our own. Highly recommend the experience, but with just the audio.

Horrible experience and still waiting on refund

edith_o, June 2026

We booked a guide tour which was pricey and arrived to the location and no one was there. Instructions said to look for tour guide with red flag and they were not there. I called customer service and they said they were going to to contact the person which they did and they started sending me tickets through WhatsApp. I paid for a guide and they basically told me to just go in. I requested a refund since it is not what I paid for and they said they need approval from the company to receive money back! I still have not heard from them nor have I received a refund

Just a ticket and QR code for audio guide.

Judy_M, May 2026

This is just a ticket with a QR code to scan for an audio guide. Make sure you scan the code before entering the museum since cell service is poor inside the museum. Bring your own headphones. This audio guide is not good. Several of the pieces they talked about were not on display in the museum. The audio guide only spoke about a few pieces. Try to get your audio guide from the museum and not from this service. I learned more by listening to other in-person guides.

An experience to forget!

Arena_R, Aug 2026

Terrible experience. I strongly advise against them!!! I purchased tickets that were then sent and subsequently canceled by them, and once I arrived on site, I could no longer find them in the WhatsApp conversation! Do not trust them... they are real THIEVES!
