However, we recommend arriving early to explore the breathtaking Villa Borghese Gardens surrounding the museum. Wander through the serene woodlands and vibrant flower beds, savor a coffee on the lush green lawns, and discover the many statues and fountains scattered throughout the grounds. Additionally, save time to admire the magnificent exterior of the Borghese Gallery, with striking Baroque architecture and classical sculptures, before meeting up with your guide.</p><p>When it’s time to begin your tour you’ll bypass the queue with skip-the-line tickets and head straight inside the gallery. Immediately upon entering, you’ll realize just how much art there is to see, and while you could easily spend the entire day here, this tour is specially designed to highlight the most significant works as well as a few hidden gems. No time will be wasted searching for your must-sees, thanks to your guide’s expertise, who will also share lesser-known stories about each artist and the deeper meaning behind masterpieces by Raphael, Bernini, Caravaggio, and more.</p><h2>Discover works by Gian Lorenzo Bernini</h2><p>Come face-to-face with splendor of the archaeological marbles within the gallery’s extraordinary collection of sculptures by Gian Lorenzo Bernini. This celebrated Baroque artist was no doubt an artistical genius, and his ability to capture fleeting moments of action and emotion is truly astonishing. Prepare to be amazed by the intricate "Apollo and Daphne," in which Bernini captures the very moment Daphne transforms into a laurel tree. The sculpture of “David” is another must-see, portraying the biblical figure ready to launch a stone from his sling, aiming to defeat Goliath.</p><h2>Masterpieces by Raphael, Caravaggio, and Titian</h2><p>As you continue your exploration of the gallery, you’ll encounter some of the most iconic paintings in art history. Follow your guide to Raphael’s "The Deposition", a powerful and emotional depiction of Christ’s body being carried to the tomb. Moving on, Caravaggio’s "David with the Head of Goliath" will stop you in your tracks, with its intense realism and dramatic use of light and shadow. Of course, your guide will ensure you have time to marvel at Titian’s “Sacred and Profane Love” and decide for yourself the debated meaning behind the two women sitting by the fountain.</p><h2>Hidden Gems of Borghese Gallery</h2><p>In the final stretch of your tour, your guide will lead you to some of the gallery’s lesser-known pieces. Depending on the group’s interests, you may discover the "Boy with a Basket of Fruit", painted by Caravaggio in his early days as an artist. Or you may wish to check out Caravaggio’s evocative "David with the Head of Goliath," a fascinating contrast to Caravaggio’s more famous version. Then, after two delightful two hours, it’s time to bid farewell to your guide. There’s no need to hurry off, though. Stick around to revisit your favorite masterpieces or ask your guide for recommendations on other works to see.</p>
