Explore his passion for art, for which he had an infallible instinct, and his unscrupulousness in obtaining the works of art he wanted to posses.

What people are saying about Borghese Gardens

Fantastic tour with an excellent guide! Federico Perri was very knowledgeable and gave us many curious details about artists and their creations. I’d definitely recommend it to everyone.

This is a great experience. Lower key than the Vatican Museums. Our guide was the perfect blend of story-teller, knowledge-base and passionate baroque-ophile.

Great ticket price and services. Although the prices overall for Villa Borghese is way expensive in my opinion.

The paintings, the statues, the villa. It’s a dream come true. Loved it. Beautiful it’s an understatement.

Very knowledgeable, clear, informative and funny guide. Enjoyed whole tour. Thank you
