Itinerary

  • Villa Borghese

    The best way for us to describe the Villa Borghese gardens is: As the keeper of the Villa Borghese Pinciana, I publicly declare: whoever you are, providing to be a freeman, fear no hindrance here; go where you like, ask what you wish; leave when you want. Everything you see was made more for the guest than for its landlord. In the golden century, when peaceful years made any thing splendid for the refined ones, the landlord forbade all iron rules for the guest. Let good faith be the only rule for our friend. But if someone, consciously and purposely, by wickedness and deceit, was to break the golden rules of courtesy, be alert, the angry keeper may break these friendly words on your head. (Latin inscription carved on marble plate at Villa Borghese).

    15 minutes

  • Galleria Borghese

    We will visit one of the world’s most beautiful art museum hosting the works of extraordinary artists such as Bernini, Caravaggio, Canova and Raffaello. The gallery’s most important sculptures and paintings are from Cardinal Scipione Borghese’s collection (1579 - 1633). We’ll admire Caravaggio’s most important paintings, among which “Young sick Bacchus” and “ Boy with a basket of fruit”; Bernini and Canova’s magnificent sculptures’ collection, boasting works like “Apollo and Daphne”, “David”, “The rape of Preserpina” and “Paolina Bonaparte”. Of course we won’t miss out on Raffaello’s “Entombment of Christ”. We will lead you through the marvelous rooms of Casina Borghese, with its splendid frescoes, we’ll disclose the secrets, the stories and the painting techniques concealed behind the masterpieces of one of the world’s most beautiful art museum. To end the tour, we’ll walk through the Villa Borghese gardens, enjoying its beauty and calm far from the roman chaos.

Rome highlight for us

Published on Jan, 2025

Had a fantastic tour with Matthieu (? Spelling). A group of 4 including me and my daughter. He made each piece of art come alive through explaining its history (and the artists) so you could feel the emotion. No dry recitation of dates and names. Probably the best art history tour I’ve ever been on. Took the entire two hours and never checked my watch. Totally worth the money. Obviously you don’t see everything but that’s not the point. It’s your learn in greater detail about highlights and to me that was better than a fast paced run through everything

Very good tour of the museum

Published on Jan, 2025

Small group tour was quite enjoyable. Feels like two hours that the museum allows per entry is not enough to see everything we wanted to see. Our guide did a very good job discussing the sculptures and key paintings. Would definitely recommend this tour to friends and family.
