Itinerary
The driver will pick you up at your accommodation and bring you to the Borgese Gallery, where you will meet your guide. The 17th-century Borghese Mansion was commissioned by Cardinal Scipione Borghese and houses his art collection. It will regal your senses with Renaissance and Baroque paintings such as Caravaggio’s David with the Head of Goliath, Titian’s Sacred and Profane Love and other internationally famous masterpieces. You will explore the stories behind the artworks. The Borghese Gallery is home also to one of Rome’s finest sculpture collections of two of the finest artists which Italy ever produce, Bernini and Canova. One of the most noteworthy pieces is Canova’s Venus, known as Paolina Bonaparte, sister of Napoleon, that represents the symbol of the museum. Among other masterpieces, the spectacular Bernini’s “Apollo and Daphne” is one of the most remarkable marble statue ever sculped. The Borghese Gallery is housed amidst Villa Borghese park, where Romans come to be embraced by nature and culture at the same time. Our guide will tell you about its very interesting history, passing by its famous little lake. With our guide, you will reach the Pincio Terrace. Sitting directly above Piazza del Popolo, it is one of the unmissable spots in Rome.

Pickup at our hotel for our private tour was right on time. Having our personal guide, who was excellent and had graduate education in the arts, was much better than sharing a guide with a large tour group. The Borghese Gallery was much less crowded than the Vatican Museuums and well worth seeing.
Dear Mark, Thank you for your review! We are glad to hear that your experience was so positive. We are especially glad that you enjoyed our services. We hope to see you again soon!”
We have taken a number of tours with Viator and they have all been wonderful! This tour was a one on one experience with our very knowledgeable and friendly guide Paola who even recommended a restaurant when we were done. Considering the long lines all year long and the feeling of being overwhelmed unless you have a degree in art history I highly recommend this tour as an introduction to a palace that is full of beautiful art!
Dear Susan, thank you for your review and for recommending our tour. So rewarding words stimulate us even more to always work at our best.

We are very happy that you were enthusiastic about our tour and our guide Paola. It is a really pleasure when our customers appreciate the knowledge and professionalism of our guides.
