This small-group guided visit to the Borghese Gallery in Rome offers an intimate way to explore one of the city’s most celebrated art collections. A professional, knowledgeable guide will lead you through the elegant rooms and give context to the works on display. As you move through the gallery, the guide will share expert commentary, anecdotes and explanations that bring the art and its history to life.

Your visit begins on the ground floor among Bernini’s striking sculptures, then continues upstairs to view iconic paintings by Italian masters. The collection includes masterpieces by Bernini, Caravaggio, Canova, Raphael and Titian, spanning dramatic Baroque sculpture to Renaissance painting. Along the way you’ll also see lesser-known works and hidden gems that complete the story of the collection. The tour is designed for small groups, so you’ll experience the gallery in a more intimate and engaging way with plenty of opportunity to listen, ask questions and appreciate the art.
