It was everything we wanted and expected. The guide was extremely knowledgeable and informative. We loved it. Highly recommended!
Tomaso is passionate about the Bernini’s sculptures, and that passion shines through in a way that is infectious. He did an excellent job of capturing the setting, importance, and influence of the Borghese family to help frame the significance and use of the villa. But when it came to describing the details of the Bernini sculptures and some of the paintings, he came alive. It’s easy to go to a gallery like this, look around, and think, “that looks pretty.” But you get so much more from the experience with a knowledgeable guide. Note: boo on Viator for not updating the time on our tickets when we had to change the booking. It created a lot of confusion for us.
Our tour guide was extremely knowledgeable and very friendly, He responded to all of our questions. This was a great tour.
Great educational tour of the museum. We learned a lot about the artists particularly Bernini. Guide picked us up on time at hotel.
A very special thank you for arranging this tour on short notice—and super thank you for securing the services of Laura Sensi, our guide! The Gallery is outstanding and through her knowledge and enthusiasm it truly “came to life”. We highly recommend her for your guide and this private tour!
