Excellent museum tour!
We thoroughly enjoyed visiting this museum and Barbara made it enjoyable because of her depth of knowledge of the art. Touring without her direction and narrative would not have been as memorable!

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. LivTours will take care of the logistics while you just need to enjoy the centuries of art this museum holds. 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. Take your time to admire works such as Bernini’s Apollo and Daphne statue, Caravaggio’s famous depiction of David with Goliath’s Head, and Raphael’s stunning The Deposition.

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.
