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.

Hilary was wonderful. She was so engaging and responsive to the interest of the girls. She gave the girls a way to look and talk about art that cultivated confidence and sincere appreciation. She was funny and full of information that was interesting and age appropriate without being watered down.

The tour guides made the overwhelming amount of history/art/architecture/culture accessible and digestible, and were very good at keeping the whole family entertained and engaged. We loved the personal experience and small group of the tour. All in all fantastic.

The customized, special attention our family received during the trip was great. The focus on our daughter worked out perfectly. The docent immediately received my daughter's level of understanding and directed the tour to her which was great. Otherwise, my daughter would have been bored senseless but was thrilled to answer questions about what she thought and felt about the art works. The docent was great. She has a great knowledge and understanding of the artwork and has a great ability to explain to adults and children at the same time. It was certainly our best tour in Rome, and it was the main reason we are using Context again for two tours in Greece. THANKS!
