Francesco did a great job of walking us through his way and not just following the masses as they explored. His knowledge was plentiful and his engagement with my wife, myself and our two younger daughters was outstanding. I could not ask for a better introduction to the Borghese.

Response from Host, Jan 2024

Many thanks for the wonderful review. We're thrilled to hear that Francesco's engaging explanations made the history and art enjoyable, especially for your two younger daughters. We're so happy to hear that you had such a great experience and we would be honoured to welcome you back with us in the future!

Fantastic!!!!

David_B, Jul 2019

We loved our private tour. Plenty of time and lots of information. Our guide was tops. Cannot say enough good things. Thank you.

Response from Host, Mar 2020

Hello, thank you for your wonderful review. We are so happy to read that you enkoyed your time with us in The Borghese Gallery. It is my favorite museum in Rome as it hold so many beautiful Paintings and Sculptures, my absolute favorite is the rape of proserpina, of course not the story behind it, but The way Bernini sculptured it is just magical. I hope you saw it and enjoyed it as well. *Desiree*
