Eco-sustainable tourism, designed to respect and support local culture, art and traditions


The Borghese Gallery is a true gem located in a 17th-century palace. The villa, itself, is worthy of a visit for its architectural design and décor alone. By simply taking a step inside the villa, you will be left speechless by its beauty.

To help maintain the museum’s luxury and prestige, the number of travelers allowed inside at a time is limited. As a result, tickets can sometimes be hard to find and purchase. Do not worry, though, as LivTours handles everything – skip-the-line tickets are included in all of our tours. As soon as you meet your private, highly experienced guide outside of the stunning Borghese Gallery, you will enter directly into the museum. There will be no waiting in long lines.

As your Private Borghese Gallery Tour begins and you have the chance to take in the majesty of the museum, prepare to be amazed at some of the most prestigious art you are about to encounter. On the Private Borghese Gallery Tour, you will not only learn about the outstanding art, but you will also learn about the important stories behind the pieces too.

Visit the Bernini and Canova sculptures and learn from your private tour guide some of the intriguing stories behind the designs. The Borghese Gallery’s magnificent collection of sculptures includes the Apollo and Daphne, the David (by Bernini), the Ratto di Proserpina and the Paolina Borghese. Treat yourself to a private guided visit to this incredible art collection!

  • A Must-Do for Art Lovers

    I’ve taken art tours in Florence, Paris, and Madrid, but this one ranks among the very best. The collection is compact but world-class, and the personal guidance from Elena elevated the experience. If you love art, don’t leave Rome without booking this.

  • Luxury Without the Crowds

    Rome can feel overwhelming with all the crowds, but this private tour was a breath of fresh air. Walking through quiet galleries with an expert at your side felt luxurious. Giulia’s enthusiasm was infectious—I left feeling inspired rather than tired.

  • Perfect for a Rainy Day in Rome

    It poured rain the morning of our tour, but stepping into the Borghese Gallery made it irrelevant. The villa was dazzling, and having a private guide meant we could linger at pieces that spoke to us. Raphael’s Young Woman with a Unicorn was my personal favorite.

    - Megan Walsh
  • Educational Yet Fun

    I was worried this might feel too academic, but our guide Luca kept it engaging with stories and humor. He pointed out tiny details in Bernini’s Rape of Proserpina that I would have completely missed. It was a perfect blend of learning and enjoyment.

    - Brian Foster
  • The Best Way to See the Borghese

    We tried to book tickets ourselves and failed, so we turned to LivTours. Best decision ever. The whole process was seamless, and our guide Davide made sure we hit every highlight without rushing. I can’t imagine doing this on my own now.
