Galleria Borghese
The Galleria Borghese (English: Borghese Gallery) is an art gallery in Rome, Italy, housed in the former Villa Borghese Pinciana. At the outset, the gallery building was integrated with its gardens, but nowadays the Villa Borghese gardens are considered a separate tourist attraction. The Galleria Borghese houses a substantial part of the Borghese collection of paintings, sculpture and antiquities, begun by Cardinal Scipione Borghese, the nephew of Pope Paul V (reign 1605–1621). The Villa was built by the architect Flaminio Ponzio, developing sketches by Scipione Borghese himself, who used it as a villa suburbana, a country villa at the edge of Rome. Scipione Borghese was an early patron of Bernini and an avid collector of works by Caravaggio, who is well represented in the collection by his Boy with a Basket of Fruit, St Jerome Writing, Sick Bacchus and others. Other paintings of note include Titian's Sacred and Profane Love, Raphael's Entombment of Christ and works by Peter Paul Rubens and Federico Barocci.

Borghese Gallery Private Tour
Maria Linda really swept us off our feet. This venue was fabulous. When we booked roughly 6 months ahead, City Eyes recommended we visit the Borghese Gallery and we were not disappointed. The art and the history behind it were fascinating. We became more appreciative of the artists of the time and their approaches. Bernini was an amazing artist, and he certainly has produced many outstanding pieces. Our only regret is the tour inside the gallery can only last 2 hours, according to the facility requirements. We squeezed for a few minutes more. The gift shop had an outstanding hardback book of the Borghese that we did not purchase as it was heavy and thought we could get it on Amazon. Found out after the fact it is more difficult to get than we had anticipated. But we did find a bookseller in the US that could get it for us. Coordination before and after the tour was excellent, as City Eyes kept in touch with us throughout our four days.

A superb tour of the Borghese Gallery!
We had a splendid tour of the Borghese Gallery with Stefania. She was a font of all knowledge on all the beautiful paintings and sculptures and the history of the Borghese family. It was absolutely amazing and Stefania was wonderful! Will and I really enjoyed this tour and Stefania was really excellent. Thank you Stefania and Eyes on Rome for this superb tour!

Witty and entertaining time in the Borghese Gallery
Gianluca was informative, witty and irreverent; a winning combination to bring the gallery art to life and we thoroughly enjoyed our time with him. The company was very well organised and the hotel pick up and drop off was a special, enjoyable extra.

Excellent Tour and a must to do

Rome: Borghese Gallery Private Tour with Pick-up and Drop-off: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Rome.
How much does Rome: Borghese Gallery Private Tour with Pick-up and Drop-off cost?
+
Prices start at €155 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Rome usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Rome: Borghese Gallery Private Tour with Pick-up and Drop-off take?
+
Plan for about 2 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Rome is not rushed.
Is Rome: Borghese Gallery Private Tour with Pick-up and Drop-off worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 62 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 24 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable most popular in Rome, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Rome: Borghese Gallery Private Tour with Pick-up and Drop-off?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Rome: Borghese Gallery Private Tour with Pick-up and Drop-off suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 2-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Rome: Borghese Gallery Private Tour with Pick-up and Drop-off?
+
Around 8 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Rome can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Rome and add a light layer if any part of the 2-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Rome: Borghese Gallery Private Tour with Pick-up and Drop-off start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Rome within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Rome?
+
Rome runs on skip-the-line access. The Colosseum underground, the Vatican before opening, and the catacombs south of the walls all require a licensed operator, and the price gap between the good ones and the rest is smaller than you would expect. We rank by guide credentials, group size and how reliably the promised access actually materialises. On Outty we rank every Rome experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Rome Pizza & Gelato Class with Wine by Cooking Italy, Rome [4in1] Pasta Making_Tiramisù_Wine Tasting_Secret Cellar, Rome Pasta and Tiramisu Class: Ravioli, Fettuccine & Fine Wine 5*. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Rome?
+
April, May, September and October. August is hot and half the city is shut. Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Rome?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.

+

+

Is Rome: Borghese Gallery Private Tour with Pick-up and Drop-off wheelchair or stroller accessible?
