Masterpieces and Gardens: The Private Borghese Experience

Me parece que el precio está muy elevado para el costo real del museo , obviamente vale la pena y pagar por vivir esta experiencia , sin embargo creo que daría más valor si dieran al menos un auto guía completo . Literal sentí que hay re- venta de cupos . Ahora bien , la agencia estuvo bien , cumplió y envió lo necesario y lo que indica la compra . Mi observación es general en la manera en que se venden ciertas atracciones y sin un valor agregado .

La villa Borghese est magnifique, remplie de magnifiques chefs d’œuvres. Ce fut une visite magnifique à faire. Cependant, nous étions équipés d’un audio guide dont le contenu à écouter n’était pas dans l’ordre de la visite. L’audio guide allait parfois plus vite que ce que nous étions en train de voir, il faut chercher les œuvres et faire des retours arrière ce qui peut gâcher un peu la visite.

Two hours inside the gallery was enough for us as tourists, the checkin process was a little tricky in that all the other guides were outside in the piazza, but our guide Alex was inside out of the hot sunshine - which was actually sensible really, just hard to find him at first. He was super friendly and knowledgeable and gave us fascinating history behind selected paintings and sculptures, drawing our attention quickly to other not-to-be-missed artworks along the way. We were expecting (for no particular reason) a little train ride through the gardens as it's hard to get around very much of the estate on foot in an hour, but it was basically a guided walk to the city gates and some helpful info for wherever we all wanted to go next.

Everyone should be as lucky as we were to land Alexandro as their tour guide for the Borghese Gallery. He was not only well versed in the history of the Borgheses, which provided enlightening insight into the development of the art collection, but also, as an artist himself, was able to talk about artistic technique and individual paintings and sculptures quite compellingly. He had excellent rapport with all the members of our tour group and we all appreciated and benefited from his personal attention. We would give him our highest recommendation. The three hours with him has been the highlight of our visit to Rome.
