Al llegar estuvieron al pendiente de encontrar al grupo, con su camiseta de la agencia turística. Muy agradable, exquisitas esculturas en donde “el mármol se hace carne”… la guía te ayuda a ver los detalles en el tiempo exacto para que termines en a las dos horas que dura la visita Translate this opinion into English.

Upon arrival, they were attentive and eager to find the group, wearing their tour agency t-shirts. Very pleasant, exquisite sculptures where “marble becomes flesh”… the guide helps you see the details at just the right time so you finish within the two-hour visit. Opinion translated.

Las galerías son una pasada, pero tener un buen guía hace que la experiencia sea increíble. En nuestro caso, contar con Bárbara fue una pasada porque nos explicó todo de tal forma que era imposible desconcentrarse o perder el hilo. Una pena que las galerías limiten el tiempo de visita a solo dos horas, porque nos habríamos quedado horas escuchándola explicar la historia de las obras. Translate this opinion into English.

The galleries are amazing, but having a good guide makes the experience incredible. In our case, having Barbara was fantastic because she explained everything so well that it was impossible to get distracted or lose track. It's a shame the galleries limit the visit to only two hours, because we would have stayed for hours listening to her explain the history of the artworks. Opinion translated. Show original.

Imprescindible, hermosas obras de arte, aire acondicionado, ambiente agradable y organizado (con gente pero sin aglomeraciones). Barbara fue nuestra guía una mujer apasionada del arte que nos hizo disfrutar de cada cuadro y de cada escultura HASTA EL ULTIMO MINUTO! antes de que cerraran. Translate this opinion into English.

A must-see! Beautiful artwork, air conditioning, a pleasant and well-organized atmosphere (busy but not overcrowded). Barbara was our guide, a passionate art lover who made us enjoy every painting and sculpture UNTIL THE VERY LAST MINUTE before closing time! Opinion translated. Show original.

La galería es un espacio imperdible de Roma, vale tanto la pena que las dos horas que otorgan para la vista son insuficientes, sin embargo, con un guía tan experto, ameno, extraordinariamente amable y con una facilidad de transmitir tanto conocimiento como Ignacio es posible disfrutar al máximo tan bello lugar. Sin lugar a dudas, nuestro guía Ignacio hizo la diferencia. Translate this opinion into English.

The Galleria is a must-see in Rome; it's so worthwhile that the two hours allotted for visiting it are insufficient. However, with a guide as knowledgeable, engaging, and exceptionally kind as Ignacio, who has such a knack for sharing his knowledge, it's possible to fully appreciate this beautiful place. Without a doubt, our guide Ignacio made all the difference. Opinion translated. Show original.

Valentina, la guía, ha sido magnífica. Ha explicado perfectamente lo más importante en el tiempo acordado. Ha transmitido conocimiento, pero, principalmente, nos ha contagiado pasión y emoción en cada obra explicada. Solo puedo decir que es una de las mejores guías que he conocido en estos días. Ha merecido la pena absolutamente. Translate this opinion into English.

Valentina, our guide, was magnificent. She perfectly explained the most important points within the agreed time. She shared her knowledge, but above all, she instilled passion and emotion in us for each work she described. I can only say that she is one of the best guides I've met during my trip. It was absolutely worth it. Opinion translated. Show original.

La actividad fue espléndida, la guía, Berna, un 10 explicando las obras, tanto su historia como su detalle, contando hasta anécdotas de cada una (a mí como historiadora del arte me encantaron esas cosas!!) Si vuelvo a Roma repetiría la excursión sin dudarlo. Translate this opinion into English.

The activity was splendid, the guide, Berna, was a 10, explaining the works, both their history and their details, even telling anecdotes about each one (as an art historian, I loved those things!!)

Hicimos el tour guiado por la Villa Borghese y fue, sencillamente, impresionante. Pero lo que hizo que la visita pasara de ser "muy buena" a "excepcional" fue nuestro guía, Raúl. No solo domina la historia y el arte que alberga este increíble lugar, sino que sabe explicarlo con un nivel de detalle perfecto. Además, le pone un toque divertido y ameno que hace que las horas vuelen. Raúl nos supo transmitir su pasión y cada rincón como nunca antes nos había pasado en una visita guiada. Translate this opinion into English.

We took the guided tour of the Villa Borghese and it was simply breathtaking. But what elevated the visit from "very good" to "exceptional" was our guide, Raúl. He not only has a deep understanding of the history and art housed in this incredible place, but he also explains it with perfect detail. Furthermore, he adds a fun and engaging touch that makes the hours fly by. Raúl conveyed his passion to us, and we explored every corner like never before on a guided tour. Opinion translated.

Gran conocimiento del tema, muy amena. Se pasó el tiempo volando. Eso si, caro. No puede haber tanta diferencia entre el precio de la entrada y lo pagado por la visita. Eramos 15, y la diferencia entre el precio de la entrada y lo pagado a Civitatis eran más de 55 euros Translate this opinion into English.

Excellent knowledge of the subject, very engaging. Time flew by. However, it was expensive. There shouldn't be such a large difference between the entrance fee and what we paid for the tour. There were 15 of us, and the difference between the entrance fee and what we paid Civitatis was more than 55 euros. Opinion translated. Show original.

Ha valido cada euro que pagamos. Raúl ha sido de los mejores guías que hemos tenido. Se nota que Raúl es una persona formada, que le apasiona el arte y que no es un guión aprendido. Ha sido una clase magistral super entretenida. Pienso en haber entrado sin guía y hubiese visto obras de mármol bonitas y ya está. Desde mi punto de vista, es necesario ir con guía. Translate this opinion into English.

It was worth every penny. Raúl was one of the best guides we've ever had. You can tell he's well-trained, passionate about art, and that it's not just a rehearsed lecture. It was a super entertaining masterclass. I think if I'd gone in without a guide, I would have seen some pretty marble works and that would have been it. From my point of view, going with a guide is essential. Opinion translated. Show original.

A Galeria Borghese é um espaço deslumbrante com um acervo belíssimo, de valor inestimável. O guia que nos acompanhou conhecia bastante o acervo, mas, a meu ver, ele se perdeu em demasiado nos detalhes, tornando, às vezes, a sua exposição enfadonha, cansativa. Translate this opinion into English.

The Borghese Gallery is a stunning space with a beautiful collection of inestimable value. The guide who accompanied us knew the collection quite well, but, in my opinion, he got too lost in the details, sometimes making his presentation tedious and tiring. Opinion translated. Show original.

Gianluca nos hizo una de las mejores visitas que he hecho nunca. La Villa Borghese es muy especial, un lugar que no debes perderte si viajas a Roma, desde los jardines que la rodean hasta su bellísima colección, destacando la obra del maestro Bernini. Gianluca demostró ser un gran profesional, introduciendo magistralmente cada obra antes de ser explicada, en su contexto mitológico. Una delicia. Gracias. Translate this opinion into English.

Villa Borghese is very special, a place you must not miss if you travel to Rome, from the gardens that surround it to its beautiful collection, highlighting the work of the master Bernini.
