Don’t miss this gem! - This tour was led by Gabriel (not Sylvia as was advertised) but Gabriel was a font of knowledge about art and art history. He’s got a passion for the art ww saw and he engaged the group with his knowledge. The Borghese Museum itself is a work of art; every surface: ceilings, walls and floors are beautiful. And it’s a reasonable size to get through in a few hours. It’s one visitors to Rome should not miss!

Highly informative tour of an amazing place. - The tour guide (Gabriele, I think) was excellent. Highly informed, accommodating, and with a quiet sense of humor. The tour lasted 2 hours, which could be long for some people. I might have preferred a 1 ½ hour tour, but there is so much to see! By going with a group and listening to the guide, we spent more time with each artwork and got more out of our visit than if we had gone alone. The Borghese is an amazing place and the tour made our experience that much richer. Highly recommended!

A fantastic visit to the museum - The guided tour with Alessandra in the Borghese gallery was extraordinary but it is Alessandra’s expertise and enthusiasm that made the experience unforgettable. Her ability to explain the meanings of the sculptures is to highlight details about the paintings that would otherwise have escaped the inexperienced eye and was incredible. Also, we would like to thank Alessandra for her immense patience in guiding us by phone as we tried to find our way to the museum. We highly recommend a visit with Alessandra for an enriching and enlightening experience.

Bourgeois gallery a treasure chest revealed by a competent guide - Alessandra our guide very good: punctual, passionate in explanation has excited us; and 'managed to convey all the passion of Bernini in the scrupulous illustrations especially of the rape of Proserpina and David. Alessandra proved to be a very good guide even in the hall of Caravaggio whose works have been carefully cared for.

Not a very professional tour - Tour guide changed the time to one hour earlier without explanation. The guide was knowledgeable but went on and one over each painting, he made the tour boring and.alow. after an hour we walked away.
