Exceptional Tour

Max was a knowledgeable guide who was passionate about art and the history behind each painting we saw. It was a private tour so we could stop and rest when needed or linger over art we loved such as the Caravaggios. Superb experience.

Amazing private tour

Giorgio was an absolutely incredible guide in a beautiful, under visited spot in Rome. I highly recommend this tour!

A hidden gem.

The art was great to see in its ‘home’ setting. Our guide was a font of knowledge about the family and the collection they amassed over the many years. The D-P is not on the usual list of must see places. I have been to Rome way more than a dozen times and while walking past the palace I had not thought to visit any of those times. This was/ is a mistake. Book a tour. We were delighted.

Historic building that not everyone knows

I visited this historic building in the center of Rome. It's beautiful. A riot of inlays, walls decorated and covered with the best fabrics. Beautiful furniture, worked ceilings and antique and original parquet. Just beautiful. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED

Even the curtains are original

You get a good impression of life in the palace by booking the private rooms. The collection is abundant with very chosen exhibits and a bit much with the duration.
