Our guide, Clarissa, is amazing. She was very knowledgeable and genuine about the art and explained it in a way where you felt you saw more about the sculpture or painting presented. The tour was just the right amount of time and you could extend your visit and explore the museum on your own. I would definitely do this tour again.
Thank you so much for your kind words! We’ll be sure to share your feedback with Clarissa.
Small museum with the largest Carravagio collection in the world. Bernini’s sculptures are fascinating.
Thank you very much! We’re glad you enjoyed your visit to the Borghese Gallery.

Thank you so much, Laura! We’re very happy you enjoyed the tour and found your guide knowledgeable and engaging.
Knowledgeable guide who brought the works of art and history of the Borghese to life. Be warned that Influencers will barge you out of the way for that perfect shot despite the guide.
Thank you so much! We’re delighted the guide brought the Borghese’s art and history to life and made the visit so engaging

Dimitri made the for a memorable experience. His passion for the arts, humour and knowledge made the tour a joy.
Thank you so much! We’re delighted Dimitri’s passion, knowledge, and sense of humour made the tour such a memorable experience!
Stefano, our guide from Local X at the Galleria, was excellent. He not only explained the history behind the statues and paintings, but also provided fascinating insights into why we were seeing what we were seeing. His knowledge of art history, along with the stories behind the painters and sculptors, made the tour even more engaging. The only downside, through no fault of his, was that one member of our group had a mobility issue and was not accompanied, which unfortunately caused some delays. Stefano was very accommodating and managed this without impacting what we had planned to see. Overall, a great visit with a very knowledgeable and engaging guide.
Thank you so much for your thoughtful review! We’re delighted Stefano made your Borghese Gallery visit so engaging and handled the group’s needs with such care and professionalism
