Overview

Our Small-Group Borghese Gallery Tour offers art lovers an exclusive experience in one of Rome’s most sought-after museums. Located in the serene Villa Borghese park, the gallery houses a world-renowned private art collection, accessible by reservation only.

Skip the line and explore with a small group of no more than 15, ensuring a personalized, engaging experience. Marvel at Bernini’s lifelike “Apollo and Daphne,” uncover Caravaggio’s dark genius in “David with the Head of Goliath,” and delve into the mysteries of Titian’s “Sacred and Profane Love.” Our expert guides bring each masterpiece to life with captivating stories and insights, making this tour an unforgettable journey through art, history, and culture in the heart of Rome.

After the guided tour of the gallery concludes you're welcome to remain inside of the museums, but we also recommend taking a relaxing stroll through the surrounding gardens of Villa Borghese at your own pace.
