Borghese Gallery Tour for Kids
During this walking tour, you'll travel back to 17th-century Rome to explore the magnificent art collection of Cardinal Borghese. Housed in a beautiful garden villa on the edge of Rome, our tour includes highlights by famous artists like Raphael, Bernini, Caravaggio, and Titian. Your family will learn all about the history of these masterpieces while enjoying a fun tour led by a family-friendly art historian. Even though Napoleon tried to take it all away, this incredible collection remains one of the best in Rome and the perfect place to discover the iconic artists who shaped Italian art history.
Uncover Hidden Meanings in Historic Masterpieces
Themes such as mythology and history are predominant, allowing families to draw upon their knowledge and participate in the storytelling, while our guide takes care to point out hidden details and symbols in the works. These details can aid in your understanding and identification of the meaning behind the art. In this way, our aim is to not only have your family understand the works in the Galleria Borghese but to equip you with the basics for understanding other historical art sites and museums during your travels.

Tickets
Our visit to the Borghese Gallery includes advance entry tickets, allowing you to skip the general ticket office line. Although you can skip the main ticket line, there may still be a brief wait for security screening or ticket scanning. Please be aware that the museum enforces a strict limit on the number of visitors allowed at any given time, resulting in highly limited ticket availability. Consequently, some changes and reschedules may occur, and we appreciate your patience in these instances.
Please Note: in 2024 the Borghese Gallery is undergoing works of renovation and some rooms might be closed exceptionally and unexpectedly. Your expert will adapt the itinerary accordingly if necessary.

We loved Dony! Super high energy, very engaging for the children, and wonderful to share the larger context of the Galleria Borghese. Given that energy levels naturally get tired by the end of the tour, he should figure out a special surprise by the end of the tour to reengage the kids who get tired. But besides that, he was amazing!

Everything was amazing. Catalina was just wonderful and we really enjoyed her. As I'm sure you know, our only hiccup was the scare that we would not be able to see the gallery due to an overbooked. We were able to enter 30 minutes after our scheduled time, which left us a little tight on our tour. I was surprised that we experienced this when booking with you.

This was the last of four tours in our trip to Rome and I think we were all a bit tired of the touring and not particularly excited about going to an art museum. However, our docent (Hilary Bockam) was fantastic - very knowledgable and very engaging with the entire group and very good with children. She was also the only docent who clearly read the description we provided of our family and used that throughout the visit. She epitomizes what Context is trying to achieve.
