Borghese Gallery Small-Group Tour - Baroque & Renaissance in Rome

2 hours

Easy

Experience the wonder of the Borghese Gallery, one of the world’s greatest private art collections.

The Borghese Gallery is located in a beautiful villa in one of Rome’s largest parks, which was commissioned by the nephew of Pope Paul V, the Cardinal Scipione Borghese, in the early 17th century. It was used to house his impressive art collection. Stand in front of the Galleria Borghese and be amazed at the architectural wonder that it is.

You will enter the Borghese Gallery at a time when the museum is generally less crowded – a decision LivTours has made to optimize your visit. LivTours Borghese Gallery tour will give you a comprehensive overview of centuries of Italian art from marble sculptures, frescoes, mosaics, and paintings, all in one tour.

There is quite a demand to visit this luxurious Gallery. Ticket availability is extremely limited and it can be difficult to purchase tickets last minute. LivTours will take care of the logistics while you just need to enjoy the centuries of art this museum holds. Show up on the day of your tour and head directly inside the museum with us, without any waiting in line.

Your passionate guide will share secret stories and facts about the artists and their pieces that you can only learn with a professional, local guide by your side. Take your time to admire works such as Bernini’s Apollo and Daphne statue, Caravaggio’s famous depiction of David with Goliath’s Head, and Raphael’s stunning The Deposition.

    • ABOUT OUR 6 PEOPLE SMALL GROUP POLICY When you book a LivItaly Small Group Tour, you are guaranteed one tour guide per group of 6 people. Please bear in mind though that in order to accommodate traveling families and friends, we do on rare occasion make the exception of adding an additional one to two guests in order not to split groups who are traveling together. On that same note, you may find yourself on tour with less than six people. As we accept bookings in multiples of six, math doesn’t always work in our favor to help accommodate individual travelers and their families when on the same tour, so we hope you understand and apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.
