Overview

Step into a world where history whispers through the halls, and art comes alive. Our Galleria Borghese tours offer an exclusive passage into Rome's beating cultural heart.

Join a cozy, VIP semi-private tour with a cap of 6 art lovers, or an extra-small group tour with a cap at 15 or less. Want to explore on your own? Choose a ticket only option. Each step through this gallery is a step into a realm of opulent wonder, where every artwork is a note in an exquisite symphony of beauty.

Prepare to be captivated by the raw emotion and dramatic narratives frozen in marble as you encounter Gian Lorenzo Bernini's Baroque masterpieces. "Apollo and Daphne," "David," and "The Rape of Proserpina" are not just sculptures; they are stories carved by a master storyteller.

The Galleria Borghese doesn't just house paintings; it's a sanctuary where the canvas speaks. Caravaggio's "David with the Head of Goliath" showcases a stark interplay of light and shadow.
Join us, and let the art move you.

You can rent a rowboat here for a quick paddle or simply relax and take photos.
Then follow signs toward Pincian Hill Terrace (Terrazza del Pincio) one of Rome’s best viewpoints. From here, enjoy sweeping views over Piazza del Popolo and the city skyline, perfect for photos or a peaceful moment.
