Fantastic tour guide. Informative, great pace and very considerate of others. The museum is well run and organized. The museum lets you get close to the art pieces. The rooms were spacious and not too crowded due to the timed entries. This is the best memory I have of my trip to Rome.

We had a fabulous experience at the Borghese Gallery. We were upgraded to have a tour guide, and Demetri was exceptional! His knowledge and infectious enthusiasm about the art and artists truly enhanced our experience. If you want an intimate, uncrowded experienced with some of the world’s masterpieces then this is a must see. Exceptional

Terry_H, Jun 2026
Beautiful museum with works by the best of Italian artist. Frederico was a wonderful guide and the whole experience took maybe 1:45.

Wonderful tour!

Mark_M, Jun 2026
The Borghese Gallery is not on everyone’s itinerary when visiting Rome, but if you’re an art lover it should be. Truly one of the most sumptuous smaller art museums I’ve ever had the pleasure to visit. If it only contained the extraordinarily beautiful sculptures of Bernini, or the paintings of Caravaggio, the tour would be worth the price, but the museum is jam packed with incredible art from Roman antiquity to the classical period. Our guide had an obvious love for the place, was incredibly informative and could answer every question. We highly recommend the tour.

Best museum in Rome.

Our tour guide was very knowledgeable and kind. You can tell he loves what he does, and Art spoke for itself. Magical, and we have been before!

A must see while in Rome

Joel_R, Jun 2026
A very beautiful and peaceful gem. The artwork and statuary in the collection matches any I have seen. The museum atte dance is well managed to avoid overcrowding . It was nice not be packed in for once. Our tour guide Frederico was one of the most knowledgeable and pleasant guides we have had in Europe. His knowledge increased my appreciation of the items on display. So glad we spent our time in Rome.

MariaPilar_M, Jun 2026
Helpful and informative guide of the Borghese Gallery's collection - particularly useful as we didn't have a lot of time, and we were unable to buy tickets through the gallery's ticket office as they were sold out

Dimitri was amazing tour guide

Edwin_C, Jun 2026
This tour was so fun and informative. This was a great tour. Ask for Dimitri. I had no idea what to expect and really gained a wonderful perspective on history, art, the Vatican, and the Borghese family. Priceless Art and a great time.

Borghese

Russell_W, Jun 2026
The Borghese is an incredible visit, room after room packed with great works of art and lots of sculptures, Roman and otherwise. And most especially beautiful and must see Bernini sculptures!

Breathtaking Berninis

Bill_J, Jun 2026
The Borghese has breathtaking masterpieces by Bernini that are worth the price of the ticket. Our tour guide was excellent - she took the time to explain each piece in detail and she also knew how to navigate the museum so that we arrived at works when there were fewer people around and we weren’t crowded. It was an excellent and informative tour.

Our guide, Sylvia, was excellent. Her storytelling was exceptional. A true professional. She made the pieces come alive for us. We visited this gallery on our own 16 yrs ago, but benefited so much from getting Sylvia's insight this time.

Wonderul tour guide

Our tour guide was Silvia, and she was wonderful! Her knowledge of the gallery and the art was thorough and inciteful. She was very enthusiastic, and had an obvious love for the art and its history, and especially for Bernini. In fact, she has awakened in me a love for Bernini as well! This was one of our favorite experiences in Rome.

The guides were wonderful. We had a mix up with another company and part of our tickets and the guest guides were so helpful and really made our trip awesome. I will only use Viator in the future. Great job.

Response from Host, May 2026

Fantastic tour with Gabriele

James_D, May 2026
Gabriele was my guide through the Galleria Borghese, and I had a fantastic time. Gabriele had encyclopedic knowledge of all the art, and put each piece in the context of its arrival at the Borghese. He tailored the tour to focus on my particular interests, while also making sure I understood how the gallery functioned as a seat of political power. Particularly interesting was both the rivalries between artists, and the rivalries between the great families. Gabriele made sure I got great views of the most crowded pieces of art, and also managed to get us into the ‘secret’ gardens. This tour was fun and informative, and Gabriele was passionate about the art and history.

Response from Host, May 2026

Dear James, what a beautiful review, thank you so much! Gabriele truly is one of a kind, and it sounds like he tailored the experience perfectly to you. The combination of art, history, rivalries and secret gardens... we can see why it was so memorable! We'll make sure he sees your kind words. Hope to welcome you back to the Borghese one day. Warmly, Claudia

Beautiful Baroque

Loretta_S, May 2026
A great way to see a museum that can be overwhelming for a first time visit. Knowledgeable and flexible guide.

Response from Host, May 2026

Dear Loretta, thank you for this lovely review! We completely agree, the Borghese can feel overwhelming on a first visit, and having a knowledgeable guide makes all the difference. We're so glad it felt manageable and memorable. Hope to see you again soon! Warmly, Claudia

Amazing!

Olga_K, May 2026
We got lucky that Silvia was our guide. It was such an amazing experience! She is one of the Rome treasure! She made us truly feel the history, it was emotional, funny and educating. Thank you so much for the wonderful tour!

Response from Host, May 2026

Dear Olga, thank you so much for this heartfelt review, it truly made us smile! Silvia is one of our absolute gems, and it's so lovely to hear that her tour felt emotional, funny and educational all at once. That's the magic we always hope to create. We'll be sure to share your beautiful words with her. Warmly, Claudia

Caution

Beverly_D, May 2026
Need to know that the contact person with tickets will be outside the museum with a light blue flag. Also bring your own ear phones to use Bluetooth. Tell people that before they leave home. This is very important. It is impossible to hear holding the phone to your ear.

Response from Host, May 2026

Dear Beverly, thank you so much for taking the time to leave your review and for sharing these helpful tips! Bringing your own earphones for Bluetooth is genuinely great advice, and we really appreciate you flagging it so other guests can be better prepared. Feedback like this helps us improve. Hope you had a wonderful overall experience! Warmly, Claudia
