Galleria Borghese Must See
The 6 person guided tour of Galleria Borghese was just wonderful. Fabio L my guide was engaging, fun to learn from, and very knowledgeable.
D
Amazing tour guide. Worth the visit to learn about the art
Our guide Fabio was amazing and very knowledgeable. He had a lot of knowledge on the pieces of art and was great.
E
Fantastic Fabio at the Borghese
Fabio was the most amazing guide-very knowledgeable and entertaining. A comprehensive history of the Borghese collection.
M
Fascinating tour by erudite tour guide.
Our tour guide (maybe Guiesppe? A dapper man in a jacket and scarf) was an excellent guide. He was extremely erudite. He knew about everything, but for key works he dug deeper and gave us very in depth and fascinating background or little known information. He helped us see the art better than we could see if we were by ourselves. Two hours was fine, and controlling the crowd made the Borghese a far better experience than, for example, the Vatican!
