Itinerary

One of Rome's richest and most interesting villas, the Villa Borghese houses a vast and diverse collection of sculptures and paintings produced by masters such as Bernini, Canova, Caravaggio and Titian. Truly a magical setting in which the beauty of the artworks, fountains and monuments commune with the rich and diverse flora of the vast surrounding park. In all a true pleasure for the senses. Your guide will lead you through the breathtaking rooms of the Borghese Gallery and reveal the secrets, stories and techniques behind the masterpieces. Then, you will go for an enchanting walk though the Borghese Gardens and enjoy the surprises and silence of this Eden in the heart of busy Rome. The Tour ends with a breathtaking view from atop the Pincio Terrace. Art and Sites Viewed: • Borghese Gallery which includes but is not limited to: the Caravaggio Room (St. Jerome, David with the Head of Goliath) • Bernini sculptures (Apollo & Daphne, David) • Canova sculpture (Pauline Bonaparte) works by Raphael (The Deposition, Lady with Unicorn) • Perugino (Madonna & Child) • Rubens (The Deposition) and Titian (Sacred and Profane Love) • Villa Borghese Gardens which include but are not limited to Casino dell'Uccelliera • Fontana dei Puppazzi • Piazza di Siena • Tempietto di Diana • Obelisco di Antonio • View over Piazza del Popolo

Tips

The service ends at the Pincio Terrace overlooking Piazza del Popolo. From there it is extremely quick and easy to reach Piazza del Popolo as well as the adjacent Metro stop (5 min walk), but it does require descending a long flight of steps.
