The cheapest Borghese Gallery ticket on GetYourGuide is the $39 Onceuponatimerometours entry with an audio guide, and the most reviewed is the $54 Loving Rome ticket: 4.3 stars from 4,423 reviews. The official price on the Gebart ticketing page is 18 euros, and advance booking is obligatory. For a first visit I’d book the $55 Crown Tours small-group tour: 4.8 stars from 2,276 reviews.

Borghese Gallery and Gardens Guided Small-Group Tour
I compared all 10 Borghese Gallery tickets and tours you can book on GetYourGuide today. Four of these Borghese Gallery tickets are entry tickets with an audio guide or a host, and six are tours that include the entry, though one of those lets you pick a plain audio-guide version. Prices for every Borghese Gallery ticket are in US dollars and come from the listings, checked in November 2026. The buttons on these Borghese Gallery tickets open GetYourGuide through affiliate links (there is more on that on my about page).

The gallery is not like most Roman sights, where tickets differ by the areas they open. Here every ticket opens the same two floors, so the real differences are the guide, the language, the meeting arrangement and the price. Choosing among Borghese Gallery tickets is therefore a question of how you want to be looked after, not of what you will see.
Skip-the-Line Borghese Gallery Tickets
Skip-the-line Borghese Gallery tickets are a slightly odd idea, because entry here is by a timed, pre-booked slot and the museum caps each slot at 180 people, per the Gebart ticketing page. What a skip-the-line tour really sells you is a guaranteed slot on a date when single tickets have gone. The Crown Tours small-group tour at $55 is the one I would look at first. It lasts 2 hours, scores 4.8 from 2,276 reviews, and includes the skip-the-line entry ticket, a guide described as an art historian, and headsets and radios so you can hear in the rooms.
The languages list is the longest of the guided tours: English, Russian, Japanese, French and German. Cancellation is free up to 24 hours before. The listing says the meeting point may vary with the option you select, so read the confirmation message before you leave.

“Loved this museum. I thought our guide was excellent. Very knowledgeable. Highly recommend the tour.” – GetYourGuide review

“The guide was amazing. We would have been overwhelmed at that museum. Our guide hit all of the best works of art and explained them very well”

Borghese Gallery Entry Tickets
Borghese Gallery entry tickets are where the lowest prices sit, and the cheapest of all the Borghese Gallery tickets is the Onceuponatimerometours listing at $39. It is a 4.5-star product from 3,703 reviews, the second most reviewed on the page, and it includes the entry, a skip-the-line escorted entrance with a coordinator and an audio-guided service. A guided tour is included if you select that option, which is why the duration reads 1 to 3 hours. The listing has three meeting points, depending on the option, and six languages: English, French, German, Italian, Portuguese and Spanish.

The reviews explain what this Borghese Gallery ticket does well. One reviewer compared it with the Vatican, and the comment says as much about the gallery as about the product.
“This was a much better value than the Vatican Museums. Entry is limited to a certain number of people every two hours, so there's no crowd, and it's possible to actually study some pieces instead of being herded past them.”
— GetYourGuide reviewer
The listing’s free cancellation runs up to 24 hours before, which is more flexible than the official ticket, since Gebart says the official ticket is not refundable.
Borghese Gallery Tour
A Borghese Gallery tour is worth the extra money over plain Borghese Gallery tickets for most visitors, because the rooms are packed with works whose stories you will not read off a label. If you want the gardens as part of it, I’d pick the City Wonders small-group tour at $57. It lasts 2.5 hours, which makes it the longest fixed-length guided tour here, with a maximum of 15 people, headsets and an English-speaking guide. It includes the entry ticket, the guided visit and a visit to the Villa Borghese gardens, and it scores 4.7 from 2,892 reviews. The meeting point is in front of the gallery in Piazzale del Museo Borghese, and you can cancel up to 24 hours ahead for a full refund.

“Excellent guide and a great place to visit really enjoyed this tour” – GetYourGuide review
Reviews of this tour praise a guide who knew the artists and the periods around the works, and who added back-story that made the art more interesting. One reviewer warned that the guide can speak fast and is happy to be asked to slow down, which matters if English is not your first language. The tour runs in English only. I compare every guided tour on my Borghese Gallery tours page.
Borghese Gallery Tickets Rome
Borghese Gallery tickets in Rome are sold by the museum and by resellers, and the reseller product with the most reviews is Loving Rome’s skip-the-line ticket and audio guide at $54. Its 4,423 reviews average 4.3 stars, the lowest rating among the big sellers, and it covers admission, a reserved time to enter a limited-access attraction, local staff assistance and a downloadable audio guide app. A guided tour and headsets are not included. The duration reads 1 to 2 hours and cancellation is free up to 24 hours before.

“The Gallery is beautiful with art and sculptures that take your breath away. The self guided tour is a little confusing but does give great detail.” – GetYourGuide review
The reviews of these Borghese Gallery tickets are useful on one point. A reviewer wrote that the gallery is sometimes hard to get into because of limited, timed tickets, and that when single tickets are sold out the only way in is with a tour. That fits the official numbers, with 180 people per slot and obligatory advance purchase. Another reviewer was less pleased and wrote that they had to pay for the audio, so check what your confirmation says before you rely on it.
Borghese Gallery Ticket Price
The Borghese Gallery ticket price on the Gebart ticketing page is 18 euros for a full ticket, made up of 16 euros for the ticket and a 2 euro reservation fee. The page lists a cheaper full ticket of 13 euros for the 17:45 entry, a reduced ticket at 2 euros and a free ticket at 0 euros, both still paying the 2 euro reservation fee. Reduced and free visitors must show proof of entitlement, and the museum cancels the ticket if they cannot. Entry is free on the first Sunday of every month, the fee aside.
That makes reseller tickets for the Borghese Gallery look expensive, and it is a fair comparison. This section’s card is a leftover rather than a best match: the Crown Tours escorted-entrance listing at $43. What you pay for there is the host who meets you at the Mascheroni fountain, a digital audio guide and a guided tour if you select it, not the entry itself. The listing runs 2 to 4 hours, scores 4.6 from 2,759 reviews and runs in English and French. It does not include access to the Borghese gardens, and the free cancellation window is 24 hours.

Borghese Gallery Reviews
The Borghese Gallery reviews I read are mostly about the guides, so Borghese Gallery tickets with a guide are judged on the people, and the best rated product is Doooing’s small-group tour at $64: 4.9 stars from 1,023 reviews. It lasts 2 hours, includes the guided tour, skip-the-ticket-line entry, entrance fees and headsets if needed, and runs in English. The reviews praise the same things: depth of background, humour and a talk that places the art in its political and family context. With 1,023 reviews, fewer than the others, I would treat 4.9 as strong but less settled than the 4.8 on Crown Tours.

Borghese Gallery Skip the Line Entry Ticket
If you want a Borghese Gallery skip the line entry ticket with a guide included, Loving Rome’s tour at $71 is the closest match. It is a 2-hour tour for a small group of up to 15, in English, and it includes the entrance ticket, the guided visit and a walk through the Villa Borghese gardens without a guide. It scores 4.7 from 2,836 reviews. Staff meet you in front of the main entrance with a flag 15 minutes before the start, and the listing says guests arriving after the departure time cannot be accommodated and missed tours cannot be refunded.

“Agnes was an excellent, very knowledgeable tour guide. We enjoyed her humor as well. She provided an wonderful experience” – GetYourGuide review
Against the City Wonders tour above, it costs $14 more for half an hour less, and the gardens are a self-guided walk. I would choose it if its dates and times suit you better, since its reviews praise the same things: a guide with humour and a passion for the art.
Is a Guided Tour of the Borghese Gallery Worth It
A guided tour of the Borghese Gallery is worth it if you want the works explained, because two hours inside a timed slot passes quickly. Inside Out Italy’s guided tour with priority entrance is the one of the Borghese Gallery tickets I’d point to for a priority-entrance guide: $71, 2 hours, a guaranteed group of 15 at most, and skip-the-line entrance tickets, rated 4.8 from 1,067 reviews. Its languages are English, Italian, Spanish and French, and it is cancellable up to 24 hours before. The meeting point may vary by option.

“Fred was the best your guide I’ve had in the world. Highly recommend!” – GetYourGuide review
One reviewer wrote that the guide gave a lot of context without being overwhelming, and that the sculptures and paintings are worth the couple of hours. I read that as the gallery’s real selling point. It is compact enough that two hours with a good guide covers the Bernini sculptures, the Caravaggios and the rest of the collection that Wikipedia names. The cost is the $71 price, which is the top of the range.
Is the Borghese Gallery Worth Seeing
The Borghese Gallery is worth seeing, and the numbers I have support it: more than 24,000 GetYourGuide reviews across the ten Borghese Gallery tickets, with ratings between 4.1 and 4.9 stars. According to Wikipedia, the gallery has twenty rooms across two floors, and the collection was begun by Cardinal Scipione Borghese, nephew of Pope Paul V, who conceived the building as a villa at the edge of Rome. The Italian state bought the estate in 1902 and the gallery dates from 1903.
The lowest rated of the ten, at 4.1 from 2,672 reviews, is the Tours And Tours timed-entry ticket with a digital audio guide at $43. It lasts 2 hours, includes assistance at the meeting point, and does not include headphones. A reviewer wrote that its 5:30 pm slots did not allow the full time typically given to earlier visitors, and that a large room was off limits without that being disclosed. The official 17:45 entry is also shorter, so I would pick an earlier slot.

Is the Borghese Gallery Worth Visiting Without a Guide
Visiting the Borghese Gallery without a live guide works well if you like your own pace, and Inside Out Italy’s entry ticket and audioguide app at $49 is built for that. A host with a sign meets you at the entrance to hand over the tickets, and you get a digital audioguide. It lasts 2 hours, scores 4.7 from 863 reviews, and does not include a live guide or headsets. Phone or in-person assistance is included, and the free cancellation window is 24 hours.

“This is an excellent museum yo see world class art! The gardens and park are huge so you can wander before and after!!” – GetYourGuide review
A reviewer of this Borghese Gallery ticket noted that the gardens and park are huge, so you can wander before and after, and another praised a cafe with friendly staff. I can’t confirm those from an official source, so treat them as reviewer impressions. One reviewer also ran two minutes late because of traffic and was helped, though other listings say late arrivals cannot be accommodated, so aim to be early.
Opening Hours and Getting There
Per the Rome tourism board, the gallery is open Tuesday to Sunday from 9:00 to 19:00, with last admission at 17:45, and is closed on Mondays. Borghese Gallery tickets are for two-hour slots, so arrive at your slot time, not at opening. My Borghese Gallery opening hours and visitor guide has the metro stations, walking times and the bag rules in full.

Every one of these Borghese Gallery tickets opens the same gallery, so the table is really a choice of company.
Near Borghese Gallery
The gallery sits in the Villa Borghese park, and most of Rome’s famous sights are a long walk away, so the walking times here are my estimates from straight-line distances, multiplied by 1.3 at 4.8 km/h. The Spanish Steps are about 20 minutes away, the Trevi Fountain about 27 minutes and the Pantheon about 35. Piazza Navona is roughly 37 minutes, the Monument to Victor Emmanuel II about 37 and the Colosseum about 43 minutes, so I would take a metro or taxi for those. My page on Colosseum tickets compares the options there.
Cheapest Borghese Gallery ticket: the $39 Onceuponatimerometours entry with an audio guide, or the $43 Tours And Tours ticket if you accept the lower 4.1 rating.
First visit among Borghese Gallery tickets: the $55 Crown Tours small-group tour, 4.8 stars from 2,276 reviews.
Highest rated of the Borghese Gallery tickets: the $64 Doooing tour, 4.9 from 1,023 reviews.
Own pace: the $49 Inside Out Italy entry with the audioguide app, or the $54 Loving Rome ticket if review count matters more than rating.
Gardens as well, among the Borghese Gallery tickets: the $57 City Wonders tour, which includes the Villa Borghese gardens.
Other languages: of all the Borghese Gallery tickets, Crown Tours covers five, Onceuponatimerometours six, and Inside Out Italy four on its guided tour.
Frequently asked questions
Should I buy Galleria Borghese tickets in advance?+
Yes. The ticketing page on Gebart states that buying the ticket in advance is obligatory, and each visit is a timed slot of two hours capped at 180 people. Tickets are not refundable on that page. The GetYourGuide options I compared include a reserved entry and, for all ten, free cancellation up to 24 hours before.
How much does a Borghese Gallery ticket cost?+
The Gebart ticketing page lists the full ticket at 18 euros, made of 16 euros for the ticket and a 2 euro reservation fee, and 13 euros for the 17:45 entry. On GetYourGuide the ten options I compared run from $39 for a ticket with an audio guide to $71 for a small-group guided tour. The extra money buys a host, a guide or an audio guide.
Is Galleria Borghese worth visiting?+
I think so, and the data points the same way. Wikipedia describes twenty rooms across two floors holding Bernini sculptures, Caravaggio paintings, Titian and Raphael. The ten tickets I compared hold ratings from 4.1 to 4.9 stars across more than 24,000 GetYourGuide reviews, and one reviewer called it a much better value than the Vatican Museums.
What are the most famous pieces in the Borghese Gallery?+
Per Wikipedia, the headline works are Bernini's Apollo and Daphne, David and The Rape of Proserpina, Canova's Venus Victrix, Titian's Sacred and Profane Love and Caravaggio's Boy with a Basket of Fruit. Raphael's The Deposition is also listed. A guided tour is the quickest way to find them in the twenty rooms.
What Caravaggio paintings are in the Borghese Gallery?+
Wikipedia lists three: Boy with a Basket of Fruit, Saint Jerome Writing and Young Sick Bacchus. One reviewer of the City Wonders small-group tour wrote that the guide focused on Caravaggio, Bernini and Titian, so a guided visit is a way to be sure you reach them.
What should I not miss in the Borghese Gallery?+
From the works Wikipedia names, I would not miss Bernini's Apollo and Daphne and The Rape of Proserpina, Canova's Venus Victrix and Titian's Sacred and Profane Love. The visit is timed to two hours, so plan the route before you go in. I cannot say which rooms are open on your date, so check the official site for closures.
Do I need to leave my bag at the Borghese Gallery?+
Yes. Gebart states that since 12 May 2024 bags of any size must be checked in the cloakroom, along with backpacks, strollers, umbrellas and selfie sticks. One GetYourGuide reviewer wrote that small bags were allowed inside, which conflicts with that wording, so I would travel without a bag and follow the official rule.
