Guided tour of the Borghese Gallery and Gardens
Approx: 3 hours
With our tour we cover more of the Borghese Gallery and Gardens than anyone else, all at the same price as tours that see less. We will make sure your tour group is no bigger than 20 so you can freely engage in the discussion of the art, and add a guide who's passionate about telling the real stories behind the pieces. And this tour allows you to skip the line with a guaranteed entrance to the Borghese Gallery, which books out far in advance to the public. One of Rome's richest and most interesting villas, the Borghese Gallery houses a vast and diverse collection of sculptures and paintings produced by masters such as Bernini, Canova, Caravaggio and Titian. Truly a magical setting in which the beauty of the artworks, fountains and monuments commune with the rich and diverse flora of the vast surrounding park. Your guide will lead you through the breath-taking rooms of the Borghese Gallery and reveal the secrets, stories and techniques behind the masterpieces. Then, you will go for an enchanting walk through the Borghese Gardens and enjoy the surprises and silence of this Eden in the heart of busy Rome. The tour ends with a breath-taking view from atop the Pincio Terrace.
