The Galleria Borghese admits a limited number of visitors in timed two-hour slots, and those slots sell out weeks ahead. This booking secures yours, with reserved entry and a licensed guide or audio guide included, so the hardest part of visiting Rome's most sought-after museum is already done before you arrive. Inside the villa, Bernini's marble seems to move: Apollo and Daphne mid-transformation, Pluto's fingers pressing into Proserpina's thigh, David twisting into the throw. Around them hang Caravaggio, Raphael and Titian, and Canova's reclining Pauline Bonaparte — room after room of the collection a seventeenth-century cardinal built to outshine every other in Rome. Choose a guided visit, with groups capped at 15 so you stay within earshot in rooms that fill quickly, or a ticket with an audio guide if you prefer your own pace. Morning, afternoon and evening slots are available: the last entries of the day are the quietest and the coolest.

Step inside one of Rome's most beautiful museums with your pre-booked timed entry — access is limited and your slot is guaranteed. Over two hours, your guide or audioguide leads you through Bernini's breathtaking marble masterpieces — Apollo and Daphne, Proserpina and David — Canova's stunning Pauline Bonaparte, Caravaggio's dramatic paintings, and Renaissance treasures by Raphael and Titian in the upstairs Pinacoteca.
Your tour ends at the edge of Villa Borghese, the vast green park surrounding the gallery — the perfect place to relax and take in the views after your visit.

Very experienced guide with a lot of knowledge. Time of two hoirs is too short for this elaborate museum. Unfortunately, the wrong address was in the information for the start but we were informed on time of the other meeting point
Pick up ticket in time. Detail explanation on paintings and sculptures. Good for a trip to such a wonderful gallery
Easy and very detailed guide, Marco has deep knowledge of the pieces at the Borghese Gallery, it wouldn’t be the same without him
Elizabeth was a great guide for us!
Elizabeth was great and knowledgable Very interesting tour. We are glad we had this experience!
Super simple way to enter the gallery with ease. Was easy to find the guide in front of the building, provided us with the audio guide and we could take our time through the museum. We enjoyed that it was self guided, but supported by some fantastic audio information. Would definitely recommend!
i cannot bare being exposed to the sun for more then like 20 minutes and my numer 1 worry was that i had to wait in line under the burning sun for more then that. i was happy to discover that here they actually treat their customers with care, i did not get burnt or dizzy or anything like that couse the workers were really helpful and actually took care of my concerns
it was really nice having the operators talking to you and making sure you were fine and not getting sun burnt or anything while waiting for the line, really nice and kind people
Villa borghese itself is magnificent however this tour is misleading as we thought we would be in a small guided tour not just given a QR code to download a audio file and given a paper ticket. It should be explicitly stated you bring air pods The and book directly with Villa Borghese than a tour like this
No instructions about where to meet and don’t carry any drinks in view. You meet outside away from the entrance. Looking for a flag no one told us about. However extremely interesting and worth a visit.
