Very worthwhile tour! - Clarissa was very knowledgeable about both Bernini and Caravaggio. Her love of art infused what she was telling us. It was fascinating learning about the Borghese family in terms of art collections, power and the church. When I was running late I sent an SOS and she and Helena waited to start the tour until a few other stragglers and I arrived. Much appreciated! The small size of the group felt just right and the headphone system was comfortable & worked well. Plus the Borghese is fabulous to visit, inside & out.

Highly Recommended! - Our guide was really fantastic - quite knowledgeable about the history of the Borghese family and the artwork created by Caravaggio, Bellini and Raphael. Would have liked to spend just a little more time visiting the gallery but for 3-hour tour it was very well-paced and definitely the right price!

A fantastic tour - A superb experience. Clarissa gave a charming and first rate entertaining and informative tour. She helped you look at the art works with new eyes but without margon or modern poilitics.

Guided tour experie - Mattea guided us around the gallery picking out all the must see pieces and brought them to life. He told us interesting stories about the history and origination of the pieces and the artists and picked out all the details that you wouldn’t notice on your own. Whilst the art is of course the reason to visit the commentary and curation made the experience unforgettable!

Fantastic experience - Fantastic tour experience with meeting spot outside of the gallery and a great tour guide who not only points out the important pieces of artwork, but offers interpretation, historical context, and stories to accompany each room.

Learned so much!! And one guide was so knowledgeable! - I’m not a crazy art enthusiast nor study much art history, but I was very impressed with the knowledge and excitement plunge provided us over this two hour guided tour. I learned so much as did my husband. We were not board and highly recommend!

Very detailed tour - Our guide was very knowledgeable and I really appreciate all the details but her accent was very strong and sometimes difficult to understand. She was so knowledgeable but needed to explain in more simple terms. I did not comprehend all the historical and religious information that she was referring to in her presentation.
