Borghese Gallery Guided Tour

The Borghese Gallery is intimate, and getting a ticket is half the challenge. This tour includes the timed entry and a guide who knows the collection.
The rooms are small, so the sculptures feel very close. Your guide explains how Bernini caught movement in marble and why Caravaggio’s paintings are so striking. The slots are strict and limited, so enquire well ahead.
After the tour you can walk through Villa Borghese park. Check current details when you enquire.
