Amazing way to see one of a kind artwork! - You could easily spend days in this amazing collection of one of a kind artwork. And not only do you get to see these exquisite masterpieces, you get to hear the important stories behind them. Tip: buy the book first in the gift shop so you have the best pictures of the artwork so that you can focus on the your guide’s explanation. You cannot possibly take a better picture than what they have in the book and it’s the explanation from the guide that is so valuable.

Borghese Gardens - We enjoyed our museum tour. Salvatore was an excellent guide and was very knowledgeable…we were able to see the gallery through his eyes and his interpretations really opened our eyes. We were a bit disappointed afterwards with the outside gardens…we expected beautiful, manicured gardens but the gardens was really a large park…it was pretty and there were trams, large family pedal bikes and areas to stroll and sit…but a bit lacking as a “garden”

3 Star - I attend in an English speaking tour. It was very difficult to understand the tour guide for two reasons I feel. The Accent from the tour guide, and also the quality of the audio earpiece. The entire tour was very muffled and very difficult to understand what was being said.

Good Tour But Some suggestions - Our guide was very knowledgeable but the wireless set up was weak. I would have liked to have heard more about the collector and his vision and a little less time describing the art pieces
