Eva was an incredible tour guide—knowledgeable, passionate, and engaging from start to finish. She brought the artwork to life with fascinating stories and insights we would have never discovered on our own. Her pacing was perfect, and she made sure everyone in the group felt included and comfortable. We truly enjoyed the tour and would highly recommend Eva to anyone visiting Rome!

it was an excellent tour and experience. Our guide really knew the collection well and because the time limit kept a good pace. We spent special time with the main Bernini sculptures and studied them in detail. She put him and the work in the historic context, Also the Caravaggios were special to us and we discussed his work and life. Most enlightening. Thank you!
Amazing experience

This tour was an absolutely first-rate way to view the Borghese Gallery, where limited admission windows mean that having a guide to shuttle you through and ensure that you see all of the works that you hope to view is incredibly helpful. Our guide, Marianna, was friendly, incredibly knowledgeable about the Gallery, and knew the museum like she had visited a hundred times before (which I suspect she had!) I cannot recommend this tour more highly--really a fantastic experience.
Fantastic Tour!

This was our fourth tour with The Roman Guy during our time in Italy. All of these were amazing and this one didn't disappoint! We really enjoyed the morning we spent with Guido. He clearly loves the art in this Gallery and taught us to love it too! Thank you for the knowledge and information. Highly recommend the private tour experience.

I booked this tour for my parents, who were visiting Rome for a week in June. They absolutely love it - in fact they're still talking about it 5 weeks later ! Worth every cent and the highlight of their visit. Thank you so much.
