Skip-the-Line Borghese Gallery Tour

Dimitri the Tour Guide - Two Thumbs Up!!

With the assistance of a young lady with “The Tour Guy” company we were able to get into the museum after showing up late for our time slot (thank you!). We eventually caught up to our group that had Dimitri as the tour leader. Dimitri was gracious with us as he helped us get situated with the tour (on the first floor of the museum; we missed the upstairs tour). Dimitri was EXCELLENT! His knowledge and wit helped make the tour the best part of our day. Really liked what said about the gladiators and the various artists like Caravaggio and Bernini. Everything Dimitri said was insightful and helped us to better appreciate the art that we were fortunate enough to see. I am positive that all of the tour guides with The Tour Guy company are great. But Dimitri really is one of the best tour guides that we have ever had the pleasure of being with. Highly recommend getting a guide for the Borghese Gallery. And if you are able to get Dimitri then consider yourself lucky!

Very knowledgeable guide

The tour was excellent. The guide was able to give us the background on the Borghese collection, gallery and the art we were experiencing. Very knowledgeable and her enthusiasm was contagious.

Amazing tour

Was wonderful to have a small group tour with Eva. She was incredibly passionate about the art in the museum and was a fun guide. Here English was also perfectly clear and very easy to follow everything she said.

Fantastic, epic, don't do it by yourself!

The tour guide REALLY brought the artwork alive. I would NOT recommend goin without a guide.

Great Tour

Thank you for providing a wonderful tour for my sister, and I, our guide was not only knowledgeable and friendly, but she had great insight into the art we were looking at which was very helpful to us. We loved it.

Highlight of my trip!

The Borghese Gallery tour was wonderful! Dimitri, our guide, was funny and engaging with a wealth of knowledge about the art and history of the museum. I loved this tour and the art was breathtaking. Highly recommend!

Not easy to find the tour guide at the meeting point

Nice experience

The overall The Tour Guy group experience was good. The initial purchase to the initial meet up in front of Galleria Borghese was smooth. The check-in process was not as smooth as you have to check-in all your personal belongings at an open area security desk. Not the best feeling when women's purses have to be handed over with their wallet and passports, etc. In the rush of the group's 16 people checking in we fell behind and almost didn't make the group check-in with everyone through another gate. Then we got separated from the group going to the upper floors and also realized my wife's reading glasses were in that purse we had to give up. We had to have security find the group leader to get the group's storage box number card to go back to the first floor to get the glasses from the purse...then head back up and find the group again. While it's not the Tour Guy's policy of no bags including purses allowed, their web site should forewarn/advise that what is allowed to be carried is only about 6 inches wide by 6 inches tall...maybe post a picture for potential guests. After that stressful series of events, we finally moved with the group to each stunning room of timeless works of art and sculptures while listening to the guide over the provided audio devices with ear bud. Our tour guide, Fabrizio, was fantastic and a great ambassador for the art within Galleria Borghese. His passion for art and its related Italian heritage was truly a gift for us to experience. Grazie mille to Fabrizio!
