Rome for couples

We were a bit late to our tour & a very nice gentleman named Sikhid helped us find our tour guide Kelly even though we were late. It was very kind of him since the terms say we were not allowed to join if we are late. Kelly was also fantastic, she taught us so much about the Basilica & was very thorough in our tour. I would highly recommend her & this company (as well as the dome climb) to anyone visiting Rome!! Thanks for a great experience!!

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.

The local Carpe Diem Tour Guide Evi was great. She was really knowledgable about all the spaces and accommodating to some mobility concerns we had. We had a great time and had a comprehensive tour.

Audio experience is the way to go. You can experience at your own pace and the history is creatively delivered. The exterior is breath taking but the interior is worth your time and money. Give yourself enough time to pickup your tickets at the alternate location designated in a different area nearby. No bathroom indoors so do your business before entering the building. Enjoy!

We booked a guided tour because there's so much history we wanted to learn about rather than just walking around aimlessly.
