"My family and I recently visited Rome and had the pleasure of doing a tour of the Borghese museum. Even prior to our visit Cecilia kept in contact with usto make sure we be sure we the appropriate tickets. Her knowledge of the museum And its priceless works was extraordinarily helpful. Going to the museum without her would have been confusing and we would’ve not learned nearly as much. I highlyrecommend Cecilia as a tour guide for this museum and likely other? Thank you for a memorable and informative visit."

"We booked a museum tour w Velentia and she was professional, kind and flexible when our plans changed a day before the tour. "
"Very knowledgeable and provided a lot of interesting and curious facts. We never got bored and had a great time."
"A must do with guide Valentina!! So much to see and it can get overwhelming. Walk around with an art historian - you won’t regret it. Thank you Valentina, we loved it and you kept our teens engaged with art history. Ann "
"Valentina was a fantastic guide for me and my family at the Borghese Gallery! Having the private experience with her made the tour feel special, and she is a wealth of knowledge. I learned more than I could ever could receive visiting the museum on my own. She is a fantastic guide and I highly recommend her for anyone looking for a personal tour. "
"I booked the Explore The Borghese Gallery with Valentina and am so glad I did. She took care of getting the tickets for our 11:00 to 1:00 time slot. Communication with Valentina via the WithLocals website prior to our tour was excellent. The Borghese Gallery is beautiful and a must visit in Rome. It was extremely helpful to have someone knowledgeable guide us to paintings and sculptures by Italian masters Caravaggio, Rafael and Bernini. The two hours flew by too quickly. I know my wife and I would not have enjoyed ourselves as much without Valentina guiding the way. We thoroughly enjoyed our short time with her and wish it could have been longer."
