Amazingly Impressive Gallery in Gorgeous Setting! - My husband, adult son, and I enjoyed a small-group tour of the Borghese Gallery with Inside Out Italy during a brief stay in Rome. The guide's knowledge of the facility and the artwork was top-notch. Well worth the $ and the time. Absolutely loved learning about the art and the history of the collection. My son and husband felt the tour was a bit too detailed, but I didn't. One important thing to consider -- we used a hop-on hop-off bus to get to Villa Borghese Park, but were dropped on the opposite side from the Galleria. Had to hoof it to make our tour on time. The Park is gorgeous but quite large. Allow yourselves enough time to enjoy the surroundings.

Borghese...A must see while in Rome! - Our guide was terrific. History and art interpretation provided insights into the artist mind. The works of art by Bernini, Caravaggio, Raphael, etc. were stunning. A must see in Rome!

A Deep-Dive by a Real Art Historian - If you managed to get Silvia and love art history, you are in for a treat. A detailed tour into Borghese family, Bernini and Caravaggio by a practising art history lecturer. You can feel her passion from the start. And she tries to engage everyone at every juncture. (But if possible, do complete your readings on Homer’s Iliad, Ovid’s Metamorphoses and/or the Bible, both Old and New Testaments.) This is serious undergrad stuff not your usual fluff.

Tour is very... - Tour is very well-organised. We were a small group of five which made the experience very personal. We were immensely fortunate to get Sylvia as our guide. She was so passionate about the art and shared lots of interesting points of interest about the various sculptures and artworks. We enjoyed the experience so much the two-hour tour felt too short. Highly recommend this tour for a deeper appreciation of the overwhelming number of masterpieces.

Our guide was very... - Our guide was very knowledgeable and was the best guide I’ve ever had for touring an art museum. Never felt rushed but managed to point out and explain the treasures of the collection within the two hour limit imposed by the museum.

Do not take your with this vendor - The tour operator- different from viator- was terrible. Marina the guide was yelling. The map was impossible to follow and we could not get to the venue in time despite dedicating one hour It is not intuitive to get around Rome.
