WHAT TO EXPECT

Any true art-lover visiting Rome simply cannot miss out on this treasure trove of Renaissance and Baroque masterpieces. Drawn from the collection assembled by Cardinal Scipione Borghese in the late 16th and early 17th centuries, the Borghese Gallery includes major works by Raphael, Rubens, Titian, Caravaggio, and Canova.

Set amongst Roman period treasures such as mosaics showing gladiatorial combat and busts of the emperors are the stunning early sculptures of Bernini, such as his famed David and the breath-taking Daphne and Apollo, created especially for the Cardinal, the first major patron of the promising young artist.

The collection is housed in the Villa or “casino”, built between 1613 and 1616 on the Cardinal’s landscaped country estate, now one of the largest public parks in Rome. The remarkable architecture and opulent decoration of the gallery create the perfect setting to discover one of Italy’s greatest art collections. And because, the Borghese Gallery admits only 360 lucky visitors at once every two hours this quaint museum is never too crowded!

TESTIMONIALS

Hello,
My children and I enjoyed our tours very much!
Our overall experience was fantastic!
The booking process was easy. The person I communicated with, Ann, was very professional and helpful. Both tours were great. Our guides for each tour Cynthia for the Vatican, Laura for the Colosseum were very knowledgeable and interesting. They kept my children engaged, and moved the tour along at a pace that worked well for us. My children said they’d rather learn about the world with private tour guides like the ladies we met in Rome, than by going back to their classrooms. I would you recommend Nancy Aiello Tours to families and friends. I came across Nancy Aiello Tours through Ciao Bambino website. Thanks for providing such a wonderful service. Our trip to Rome and our understanding of the various sites would not have been the same without your excellent tour guides.
Sincerely,

Rachel,

We are back home in Oklahoma, but I wanted to thank you for all of your assistance in making our trip to Italy such a wonderful time.

The drivers and guides were wonderful and we had a wonderful time. Even though everyone has been wonderful, I wanted to especially commend two individuals. I would hope that our comments will be passed on to either the individuals themselves or their supervisors if appropriate.

The guide in Florence was extremely kind to my wife Gwen. Going to the Uffizi and seeing La Primavera had been a dream of my wife’s since she was in graduate school working on her doctorate in English Literature. Maria was very kind and patient with my wife as she fulfilled a dream of hers.

The driver in Sorrento loved Italy and especially loved this corner of the beautiful country and enthusiastically wanted to share that love with me. In addition to being an outstanding driver, he was also an outstanding guide.

Please feel free to use me as a reference for future customers.

Excellent experience – from the booking through the actual tours. We appreciated having the same tour guide (Laura) for both our evening tour and our walking tour of old Rome. Our experience with Nancy Aiello Tours was enlightening. I booked the tours because it was my family’s first visit to Rome and I wanted to ensure that they had an understanding of the history and saw the highlights. My sister and I have been to Rome several times (walking with a guide book, taking big bus tours for a day, etc) but we “saw” so much more on our tours with Laura. I have already recommended you to a colleague who will be in Rome with his family in November. I had googled “what to do with kids in Rome” and found a mommy travel blog that recommended your agency, so I took a look at your website and decided to ask some questions (less than 2 weeks before our arrival in Rome). We were fortunate enough to book 2 different tours.
