11/10 experience with the best tour guide - Frederica was an amazing tour guide for the Borghese Gallery. This was my favorite experience of Rome, partly because of her obvious passion explaining the art. She provided so much backstory to the Borghese family and the creation of the art and how to best experience the art as it was intended.

Great experience not to be missed. - We really enjoyed the tour with Frederica. She was a kind and caring guide and shared her great enthusiasm even including a short walk in the grounds to explain how things were originally. We would thoroughly recommend this tour.

Still worth it - A nice tour. Great guide. Half the place is closed due to renovation. Should have brought my own plug in headphones- theirs were uncomfortable. No neck straps for the audio set? Every other tour elsewhere provided them.

Rip-off - We were not told in advance that the second floor of the Borghese gallery was closed. Our tour guide was trying so hard to stretch our two hour tour through just the first floor and it became very tedious. I couldn’t wait to get outside and see the beautiful formal gardens….. And they were so disappointing ( nothing like the pictures ). Our $90 tour ended 30 minutes early. Total rip-off.
