I must say that after this tour, Borghese Gallery is one of my favourite art galleries in the world. Luciana was extremely good at making her tour group feel as part of the artwork, or rather see the artwork the way the artist intended. One thing that she did incredibly well was to help me better appreciate the Bernini sculptures. In particular, with two sculptures: "Pluto and Proserpina" and "Apollo and Daphne" she started the group with the artist's intended perspective, and then in a circular motion, walked the group around the sculpture, which helped me to appreciate the emotion, detail, story, and genius that went into these two works. Additionally, more so than almost any other gallery, I was impressed about how the images almost invited me into the stories --- "Diana" by Domenichino and "Sacred and Profane Love" by Titian, as an example. Luciana provided information into each artist's background (including Caravaggio), and inspired me to actually research some of these artists/work after the tour. She also helped point me in the right direction for other things to do after the tour. Overall, I don't know when I will be back in Italy, but I will recommend your company to any of my friends who may visit your country. The thing I appreciated the most about these two guides was their passion and love of their subjects and the joy they exuded at teaching me (and the other visitors) about such awesome works. Many thanks!

Ashley was an excellent tour guide. Very knowledgeable. This was our second tour with her. We would recommend Dark Rome Tours to everyone.
