The Borghese Gallery is located in a beautiful villa in one of Rome’s largest parks, which was commissioned by the nephew of Pope Paul V, the Cardinal Scipione Borghese, in the early 17th century. It was used to house his impressive art collection. Stand in front of the Galleria Borghese and be amazed at the architectural wonder that it is.

You will enter the Borghese Gallery at a time when the museum is generally less crowded – a decision LivTours has made to optimize your visit. LivTours Borghese Gallery tour will give you a comprehensive overview of centuries of Italian art from marble sculptures, frescoes, mosaics, and paintings, all in one tour.

There is quite a demand to visit this luxurious Gallery. Ticket availability is extremely limited and it can be difficult to purchase tickets last minute.

Show up on the day of your tour and head directly inside the museum with us, without any waiting in line.

Your passionate guide will share secret stories and facts about the artists and their pieces that you can only learn with a professional, local guide by your side.

All LivTours Semi-Private Group Tours are capped at six guests per tour guide. Our commitment to maintaining this uniquely tiny group size can sometimes be a little tricky, mathematically speaking. For example, we want to ensure that traveling families and friends can tour together, so on rare occasions we may add one or two guests to avoid separating groups. On that same note, you may also find yourself on tour with less than six people! We thank you for your understanding and flexibility.

  • A Passion for Art That Fills the Room

    Valentina was an exceptional guide. Her enthusiasm for the Borghese collection was genuine and infectious, and you could tell immediately that art history is a deep passion for her, not just a job. Her knowledge was at an academic level yet she made everything accessible and engaging for everyone in the group. She also graciously let me practice my Italian with her throughout the tour, which made the whole experience feel personal and memorable. She welcomed every question and made the group feel like honored guests rather than tourists. If you're visiting the Borghese Gallery, request her by name. LivTours, you have a gem here.

  • A Perfect Blend of Art and Storytelling

    Our guide, Elena, made the Borghese Gallery come alive. Standing before Bernini’s Apollo and Daphne while she described the myth felt like stepping into history. I’ve been to many museums, but never have I understood the connection between art and patronage so clearly. LivTours handled everything smoothly, from tickets to timing.

  • Highlight of Our Roman Holiday

    My husband and I had only a few days in Rome and this tour was the best decision we made. The small group size allowed us to move easily through the rooms, and our guide Giulia had an infectious passion for Caravaggio. Seeing David with the Head of Goliath explained in detail was unforgettable.

  • A Treasure Trove of Baroque Beauty

    I traveled solo and joined this semi-private tour, which felt almost like a private experience. The Borghese Gallery itself is breathtaking, but what made it special was Marco’s ability to connect the dots between sculptures and paintings across centuries. It was a feast for the eyes and mind.

    - Amelia Price
  • Bernini Up Close

    o stand just a few feet away from Bernini’s Rape of Proserpina was staggering. Our guide, Davide, pointed out the marble details that looked like real skin—it left me speechless. Without him, I might have walked past without noticing the genius. Worth every penny.
