Heritage Experiences

Karen was an amazing guide! You can tell she's passionate about her job and love sharing what she learned about the basilica. Was very satisfied with the tour.

Giovanna was very knowledgeable of the Colosseum! It was a busy day at the Colosseum due to a public holiday but Giovanna ensured we had a good time, by gaining elevator access for the pram and filling in wait time with more facts about the area.

The tour started on time and the group wasn't big. We found our guide easily at the meeting point. The tour was in English as we'd booked it. Our guide was Italian and he was very friendly, kind and knowledgeable about the topic and art in general. Thank you, Dimitri, for the amazing experience and knowledge you unselfishly shared with us yesterday. We really appreciate it and we truly enjoyed our time in Gallery Borghese. We kindly recommend this tour to everyone who wants to experience beauty and to see unbelievable and unique art collection.

The ticketing experience was clear, quick, and very easy to complete--kudos to the app design team! Checking in near the Gallerie was also simple and straightforward, with everyone helpful and friendly. The tour itself was phenomenal! Alessandra is clearly a master of her topic -- the art, the historical context, and the human -centered stories that bring the world of the Borghese and the Collection itself so vividly to life. For instance, hearing the stories behind the Caravaggio and Bernini pieces in the Gallerie made for a far richer experience than I otherwise would have enjoyed. I learned; I laughed; and at moments was simply awestruck. The time seemed to fly by -- over too soon! I could have listened to Allessandra all day. Now I am inspired to dig in deeper and learn more, not only about the Collection but the history of Rome in general. Gracie mille! *** The golf cart tour was also a wonderful experience, and I highly recommend it as a follow-on to the gallery. I can't remember the name of my guide, unfortunately, but he was a knowledgeable and amiable young man, and it was a real treat to see the beauty of the grounds as I was was learning about its history. My guide took the time to stop and let us get out at an overlook, with an amazing view of the city, and a great photo op.
