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.

Dony was a great guide. He taught us a lot of new things. We would definitely recommend him to other visitors. Thank you, Dony.
Francesca was perfect for the kids. She sat right on the floor, told stories, kept the kids attention and noticed when we needed to move on (kids lost interest.) she was our favorite guide for kids!
Dony was very good with my children explaining everything in details for them to understand better. And he speaks Portuguese which was perfect for them
