The museum was beautiful and the tour guide was very informative. He was great at explaining many pieces of artwork we saw.
This is a beautiful museum and we had a fantastic guide. She was so knowledgeable and passionate about the art. I came away feeling like I learned so much in a short amount of time. Our group was small and that was also lucky. Highly recommend!
The Borghese Gallery was fantastic! We had the most amazing tour guide. I have a minor in Art History, so I already knew some about the art that we saw, but our guide must have an advanced degree or be a professor as his knowledge was encyclopedic. He was able to guide us around in a different order than many of the other timed ticket tours, so our group was often alone in a room and able to see the art up close. This tour was one of the highlights of our 16-day trip to Italy and I cannot recommend it enough.
Hello ChristySue, What a joy to read your review! We're so glad your guide's deep knowledge of the Borghese Gallery impressed you, especially given your own background in Art History. Being able to explore the rooms in a different order and enjoy the masterpieces almost privately is exactly the kind of experience we hope to create for our guests. We're honored this tour stood out among the highlights of your 16-day Italian adventure, and we hope to welcome you back to Rome one day. Warm regards, The Inside Out Italy Team
This was a fabulous tour if you want to learn about the best pieces in the gallery. Our guide was so enthusiastic and knowledgeable, giving us so much interesting and helpful information about so many works. She made the most of our two hour time slot.
Hi Gayle, Thank you for such a lovely review of your Borghese Gallery visit! We're thrilled your guide's enthusiasm and knowledge helped you make the very most of your two-hour time slot. Comments like yours remind our team why they love sharing this incredible collection with visitors. We hope to see you again on a future trip to Rome! Best wishes, The Inside Out Italy Team
This beautiful place exceeded my expectations with its incredible art. The only letdown was the audio guide. It’s a two-floor gallery with the ground and first floors but the app confusingly labels them as first and second. Plus the two-hour time limit wasted time trying to figure out my location on the app. We eventually gave up and simply wandered around admiring the art. There were Caravaggio, Bernini, Rubens and many others, along with sculptures and masterpieces by the masters. Is it worth a visit? Absolutely! PS don't forget to look up.

We appreciate your honest feedback about the audioguide app's floor labeling, and we'll pass this along to our team so we can look into making the experience clearer for future visitors. Thank you for the reminder to look up, and we hope to welcome you back to Rome soon! Warm regards, The Inside Out Italy Team
Recommended for both those who understand and those who do not know about art. The guide clarified all doubts

Great option for a break from the Rome heat. Every room is gorgeous. Our guide was super knowledgeable and passionate! If you don’t love art, probably not the tour for you. But you do get to hear about history in this time period in general, and learn about the Borghese family and their influence in Italy.
