Not for kids

What a joy. Learned a lot and saw some amazing art. Some of the art made me angry. Some of it inspired me. Most of what was shown moved me. The guide was very knowledgeable and friendly.

Response from Host, Nov 2024

Thank you for your taking the time to share your thoughts and feelings! I’m very glad you not only enjoyed this journey through Beauty and Art, but were also touched emotionally by its message. I’m also very happy your guide was able to help not only understand the Story, but also stimulate your feelings. Thank you!

Memorable art walk

Roxana_G, Aug 2022

This was a private tour of the Borghese gallery with 2 adults and 2 teens. We appreciated our guide Pia and her stories about hidden meanings in the artworks. Very memorable indeed!

Nothing like the Borghese Gallery

ellen_g, Jun 2022

This was our second time at the Borghese Gallery. It was a private tour with just two people. The Borghese is phenomenal. Our guide was Rennata. She was wonderful. Very informative and knowledgeable about the art and artists. Also, the history at the time the art was done. Wonderful tour. Would highly recommend.

Response from Host, Jun 2022

Thank you very much for your kind comments! We are truly happy you enjoyed the tour! We hope to see you again on one of our tours!

Tour molto interessante fra capolavori artistici

Simone_B, Jan 2020

Un tour molto bello, su misura per noi, che ci ha dato la possibilità di scoprire e conoscere grandi capolavori come le sculture di Canova e Bernini. Un particolare apprezzamento per il tour operator che è riuscito a garantirci l’accesso alla Galleria Borghese in un giorno in cui altri tour operators avevano detto che non c’era disponibilità.
