Private guided tour to visit the Borghese Gallery and gardens with your own personal guide and skip-the-line tickets.
At the Borghese Gallery admire the enormous art collection collected by Borghese family and mainly by Cardinal Scipione Borghese: paintings and sculptures, both ancient and from his time, creating an extraordinary and unique collection including masterpieces by Bernini, Canova, Caravaggio, Tiziano and other exceptional artists.
Explore the Borghese Gardens, Rome's largest park with sculptures and fountains, before heading to the Pincio Terrace overlooking Piazza del Popolo.
The Villa Borghese, Rome's most significant green park, is located completely around the Borghese Gallery.
The park of Villa Borghese, which spans over 70 hectares and has numerous smaller buildings, contains the Pincio area, where a sizable balcony looks out over Piazza del Popolo and the dome of St. Peter's Basilica can be seen in the distance.
Your knowledgeable guide will tell you about Cardinal Scipione Borghese during the Borghese Gallery tour, who had a special interest in the paintings by Caravaggio and Bernini.
As you walk through the Borghese Gallery's various rooms, you'll see works by these two artists, among others: David with the head of Goliath and St. John the Baptist in the Desert by Caravaggio; David and Apollo and Daphne by Bernini.
The extensive collection also includes numerous additional works, such as Piero della Francesca's Flagellation, Beato Angelico's Ascension and Pentecost, Paolina Bonaparte by Canova, and the Last Judgment.
Two hours are allotted for the visit to the Borghese Gallery, followed by a tour of the Villa Borghese park, which features fountains, sculptures, and monuments.
