For the last 15 years, I have been fortunate and honoured to present the treasures of the Eternal City to many tourists through my tours of this enchanting city. Rome continues to inspire me with its unique charm, its wealth of monuments, and especially the lesser-known attractions that are not on the main touristic paths. I always feel thrilled to witness the enthusiasm and joy in my guests’ eyes at the end of our tours! In the future, I intend to provide not only the traditional and most famous tours of the Colosseum, the Ancient Roman Forum, Palatine Hill, and the Vatican Museums with the Sistine Chapel but also lesser-known routes, particularly for travellers who have visited the city multiple times. These will include places like the Doria Pamphilj Gallery, Colonna Gallery, and the Capitoline Museums, as well as Christian-related itineraries and some less touristy Roman neighbourhoods and charming small towns like Palestrina. If my calendar appears unavailable, please contact me anyway. I can organize private transportation by private car and driver. I provide pick-up and drop-off at the hotel or port via the driver. I’ll meet you at the meeting point. For easy communication on the day of the tour, I suggest downloading WhatsApp on your smartphone.

Overview of your Rome tour
A tour of the Borghese Gallery offers an enchanting journey through one of Rome's most stunning art collections. Located in the lush Borghese Gardens, the gallery houses masterpieces by renowned artists such as Caravaggio, Bernini, Raphael, and Titian. The tour begins with an introduction to the grand villa, which was once the private residence of the Borghese family, and moves through its opulent rooms filled with remarkable sculptures, paintings, and frescoes. Highlights include Bernini's dynamic sculptures like Apollo and Daphne and The Rape of Proserpina, as well as Caravaggio's dramatic works, such as David with the Head of Goliath and St. John the Baptist. The collection also features stunning works by Raphael and Titian, showcasing the evolution of Italian art. As you stroll through the elegantly decorated rooms, you'll experience the blend of art, history, and beauty that makes the Borghese Gallery a must-see for art lovers in Rome.
