Rome Borghese Gallery & Gardens Small-Group Guided Tour - Entry Ticket & English Guide Included

Explore the Borghese Gallery
with an expert English-speaking guide

Meet your guide at the square in front of the Borghese Gallery and enter with your pre-booked ticket. Explore the gallery for about 2 hours in a small group of up to 15 people, listening through an audio headset to your English-speaking guide, an expert on the collection.

Hear the stories behind masterpieces by Bernini, Caravaggio and Raphael

Villa Borghese and many of the works displayed in the gallery were commissioned by Cardinal Scipione Borghese, a passionate collector. Works by Bernini, Caravaggio and Titian remain in their original settings.

With your guide, learn about the cardinal's efforts to complete his collection and the stories behind works such as Bernini's Apollo and Daphne, Canova's Paolina Borghese (Pauline Bonaparte), Caravaggio's St. Jerome and Raphael's The Deposition.

End the tour with a stroll through the Borghese Gardens

Explore the Borghese Gardens, once the cardinal's private park, with your guide for about 30 minutes. Today it is a favorite spot for locals to relax among statues, plants and artificial waterfalls, and you can walk along shady paths between statues and fountains. The tour ends at the square in front of the gallery where it started.
