The guide made this tour amazing. We learned more than we expected. Incredible! The private tour made it the best we did not have to use headphones.
Absolutely world class art -- think paintings by Carravaggio + Raphael + an oval staircase designed by Borromini in palace that was home to the Barberini's (A-list Renaissance bankers + popes). Don't miss the painted ceiling in the central hall, you can sit in a lounge chair and look up forever.
Bruno was a great guide. We enjoyed our tour. The museum was empty and we learned so much from him. He explained the history of the family and all of the beautiful artwork
<p>Vera gave us a superb tour of the museum. With a deep knowledge she pointed out highlights and 'backsides' of the Renaissance. She really made my visit special. The highlight of my Rome trip. Thank you.</p>
