Traveler reviews
Borghese Gallery, stress free
Our private tour with Caterina was incredible! Visiting the gallery on your own can be challenging, even just acquiring tickets. Our guided experience was fantastic, and Caterina’s deep understanding of art and history helped us understand the the collection while also seeing all of the “must see” pieces. We left with our hearts and minds full. Grazie mille!
Fantastic.
Fantastic guide, Rebecca was so friendly, warm, fun and knowledgeable. It was one of our favorite tours. In air conditioning, with great masterworks, she made it feel less overwhelming and like you could really appreciate the artists and their work. Would highly recommend.
Marta the Tour Guide & for Art Lovers!
We did this tour our last day in Rome! Honestly we weren’t sure if we needed to go or not. Unless you are very into art like the Louvre in Paris - you could possibly skip this! It is definitely for an older and more art loving crowd! Cool to see but very far from other tourist attractions. We did the tour with Marta. She was great! Only issue we had was no where on the check in for LIVTOURS did it say no backpacks allowed inside. This should be written on the instructions. The guide was semi rude thinking we should have known this or checked the bag before downstairs the museum…. Otherwise tour was good but weird note to start on. Also I think the tour is hard because my husband and I weren’t major art lovers but others on our tour were so spent a lot of time at the highlights to admire and observe. It wasn’t fully our style. It felt like we skipped some of the rooms. Marta did a great job educating for the non art lovers though! This we liked a lot! Overall just know you must be really into art to go! If not you can skip and do something else during your time in Rome.
Awesome tour
The guide spoke about the historical significance of the pieces of art on display and gave a little insight into ancient Roman and Greek theology. This tour wasn’t rushed like some of the others that we have been on even though it was only a 2 hour tour it was plenty of time to see everything and hear about it.
Great Experience
Great knowledgeable and friendly tour guide. She also has great English.
