Well worth the price

The skip the line ticket option is well worth the price We met our tour guide Maria Laura at the meeting place and she led our group of 12 to a much shorter line for entrance to the museum The crowd size was very large but we got in quickly Once inside Maria gave us an overview of our guided tour She was very knowledgeable of what we were going to see She had photo materials to point out certain aspects of the paintings such as themes and even some hidden faces of other artists This tour option is best for anyone who doesnt like long lines or not a lot of time to spare Our tour guides knowledge really added to the experience

Great tour of the Borghese Gallery

Thanks to Eddie for his great tour of the Borghese Gallery He was a font of knowledge about the historical context of the museum with a focus on Berninis genius as a sculptor His enthusiasm on the subject of the baroque period was infectious A definite recommendation His pacing was great The setting was much more relaxed than the Vatican Museum mob scene

Great Tour Guide Great Site But We Waited in Line

This was an excellent tour Obviously the sites are amazing but also our tour guide Catalina was amazing She was kind and welcoming and she seemed passionate She was patient and allowed us to ask many questions We noticed a tourist from a another tour group essentially tell Catalina to shut up and Catalina was professional and calm and did not rise to the occasion She had a lot of great information that allowed us to really understand the significance of what we saw The only real issue I had with this tour was that it was marketed as a Skip the Line tour but we definitely waited in line So I feel a little tricked to have paid for that
