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!

We had a wonderful and...

We had a wonderful and informative tour of the amazing Borghese art collection. Our guide, Guiseppe, was knowledgeable about both Borghese family history and the various significant pieces of artwork in the collection. He was more than happy to answer questions and let us go at our own pace through the museum. A very worthwhile experience. The ticketing process and communication with the tour provider both went smoothly as well.
