Excellent option for quick access.
Excellent service from the company, who communicated days before the activity to address questions and provide all the instructions. Fabrizzio arrived on time at our meeting point and helped with all the entry procedures, making the process quick and smooth.
Operator response
¡Gracias por su maravillosa reseña! Nos alegra enormemente saber que tuvo una experiencia tan fluida y agradable durante su visita a la Galería Borghese.
Nos complace saber que la comunicación de nuestro equipo previa a la actividad le resultó útil y que todas las instrucciones fueron claras y fáciles de seguir.
Es fantástico saber que Fabrizzio hizo que el proceso de entrada fuera rápido y libre de estrés, al llegar puntualmente y brindarle asistencia durante todo el procedimiento.
Para futuros viajeros: las experiencias con acceso preferente (sin colas) son muy recomendables para atracciones como la Galería Borghese, ya que ayudan a ahorrar tiempo y hacen que la visita sea mucho más relajada y organizada. Llegar a tiempo al punto de encuentro y seguir atentamente las instrucciones compartidas antes de la actividad puede contribuir a garantizar una experiencia de entrada sin contratiempos.
Saludos,
Natalia

Not taking a ticket...
Do not take a ticket by an agency. Buy directly from the gallery. Take an audio guide on site. We had to have a guided tour and we didn’t have one. Very disappointed!
Operator response
Merci de nous avoir fait part de votre expérience, et nous sommes sincèrement désolés d'apprendre la déception ressentie lors de votre visite à la Galerie Borghèse. Nous comprenons parfaitement votre frustration concernant l'absence de la visite guidée que vous pensiez avoir réservée, ainsi que votre sentiment d'avoir manqué le niveau de service attendu. Offrir des informations claires et transparentes sur le contenu exact de chaque prestation est essentiel pour nous, et nous regrettons profondément la confusion causée par cet achat. Nous prenons vos remarques très au sérieux et vérifions immédiatement la présentation de cette offre pour éviter tout malentendu futur. N'hésitez pas à contacter directement notre service support avec vos coordonnées de réservation afin que nous puissions examiner votre dossier et vous assister de la meilleure façon possible.

Super and indispensable skip the line tickets
Great visit, easy and fast with skip-the-line ticket. It is essential to book in advance. On the other hand, the audioguides are to be reviewed: a lot of time is wasted before finding certain works in question since there are a hundred works in each room!
Operator response
Merci infiniment pour votre commentaire si attentionné ! Nous sommes ravis d'apprendre que vous avez apprécié votre visite de la Galerie Borghèse et que vous avez trouvé les billets coupe-file rapides, pratiques et avantageux.
Nous sommes tout à fait d'accord pour dire que la réservation à l'avance est essentielle pour une attraction aussi populaire, d'autant plus que les créneaux d'entrée peuvent se remplir très rapidement. Nous sommes heureux de savoir que l'accès prioritaire a contribué à rendre votre expérience plus fluide et plus agréable.
Nous apprécions également sincèrement vos retours concernant l'expérience avec l'audioguide. La Galerie Borghèse abrite un nombre extraordinaire de chefs-d'œuvre dans chacune de ses salles, et nous comprenons que localiser des œuvres spécifiques tout en suivant les commentaires puisse parfois s'avérer complexe et chronophage.
Pour les futurs voyageurs, nous recommandons vivement de réserver vos billets pour la Galerie Borghèse à l'avance, car les disponibilités sont souvent limitées. Les visiteurs utilisant un audioguide trouveront peut-être utile de prendre quelques instants au début de chaque salle pour se familiariser avec la disposition des lieux avant de lancer les commentaires ; l'expérience n'en sera que plus détendue et agréable.
Cordialement,
Natalia

No ticket reservation
I inform you that I did not benefit from this reservation. I did not receive the tickets. I had an email informing me that there is free entry on the first Sunday of every month. It was not like that.
Operator response

We take your feedback very seriously and are escalating this case internally to investigate why your tickets were not delivered properly. Please reach out to our support team directly with your booking details so we can assist you with a full refund for this reservation.

Everything about the Borghese is absolutely gorgeous!
We highly suggest booking your timed entry ahead of time as the gallery regulates the number of guests / tours / people it allows in. This allowed our group to walk right in and to enjoy the artwork.
Operator response
Thank you for your wonderful review! Happy to hear that you found everything about the Borghese Gallery absolutely gorgeous, it really is one of the most remarkable cultural experiences. Glad that the timed entry process worked smoothly for you and allowed your group to enter without delays and fully enjoy the artwork. The gallery’s controlled entry system is designed to create a more comfortable and immersive experience, and it is great to know you were able to benefit from that.
Your recommendation to book in advance is very valuable, and we appreciate you highlighting this for other travelers. Planning ahead truly makes a big difference when visiting such a popular and unique attraction. We also suggest arriving a little early and taking your time to explore each room, as the gallery is filled with incredible masterpieces that deserve a relaxed and unhurried visit.

Just kidding, apparently
i bought the tickets to the gallery months ahead of our scheduled visit to Rome, rec'd a confirmation and my credit card was charged. Two weeks before our trip, I rec'd a WhatsApp message from the Gallery that a 'glitch' had occurred on the website and there were no tickets available.
Operator response
We completely understand how frustrating this must have been and truly regret that you couldn’t enjoy your planned visit to the Borghese Gallery. We appreciate your understanding and patience, and we’ll continue working closely with the Gallery to ensure this doesn’t happen again in the future.

Misunderstanding
Extremely disappointed with the price of €76 for two with skip-the-line , whereas on the site ( on site ) the ticket is €15 and there is absolutely no queue.
