No stars! The tour guide and tickets never showed up! Tried to contact and for 30 min past time never responded at all! Spoke with all other tour guides at site and the museum itself and no one even knows this guide, Did not get to see gallery at all very disappointed. I contacted Viator for refund but still out 60€ for taxi fares and wasted half a day of vacation with only disappointment. Tried to purchase tickets at gallery myself but sold out. I hope Viator removes this company because it is a scam! I book through Viator to avoid scams and make travel easier in places where I don’t know how. Save yourself some trouble and book with a different company or you might not be able to go like us! Now I won’t be able to see the museum and am very disappointed!

I booked a tour for my wife and I. We were here on the scheduled date and time. No guide ever showed up. So I went to the ticket counter and asked if the tour group paid for any tickets today and he said they did not. How does this even happen? Really unacceptable.

Easy to make reservations on line.
Easy to find the guide at the Gallery.
The guide Dimitri was excellent.
This is the best way to enjoy the incredible art at the Borghese Gallery!

The tour guide had in-depth knowledge of art and the history of the museums. She was easy to understand and was engaging

The instructor had an obvious passion for art history and imparted her knowledge to us in an invigorating way.

We walked through the Borghese gardens before our tour of the Gallery. Highly recommend, it was beautiful, like the Central Park of Roma. Our tour guide inside Galleria Borghese was phenomenal, she had degrees - including a PhD - in archeologies and art histories, and an obvious love for the pieces in the gallery. She was very knowledgeable about the various artists and their histories, and pointed out the most exquisite details in the sculptures and paintings, even the former Palace itself. Highly recommend a visit if you have an afternoon in Rome.

We had a great time. My family loved learning about the art and sculpture in the gallery. Our tour guide Virginia was wonderful.

It was an engaging and interesting tour! Valentina was our tour guide. It was clear she’s very knowledgeable on the history and kept the whole group super engaged. I would definitely recommend the tour but also if you can- request her!

This tour was led by Gabriel (not Sylvia as was advertised) but Gabriel was a font of knowledge about art and art history. He’s got a passion for the art ww saw and he engaged the group with his knowledge. The Borghese Museum itself is a work of art; every surface: ceilings, walls and floors are beautiful. And it’s a reasonable size to get through in a few hours. It’s one visitors to Rome should not miss!

A very interesting tour.
With the colds and small details, the viewing becomes a really great experience.
