“We got there earlier than the booked tickets, but the guide was there waiting for a different group to leave and was able to give us our tickets to try to get in - The staff at the museum was courteous and helped and let us in before booked time. Important, don’t forget to download your audio guide the day before, I forgot 😒, and as we got in without the guide I couldn’t find the QR code necessary to open the app or do anything - so I did the tour without the audio guide I paid for (my fault though). The museum is quite small, and good part…”

“Our tour guide was excellent. However, we were told to pick up our tickets first, that was incorrect information. And then locating our guide at the designated “meeting spot” was a bit stressful. We were told to look for an “orange” flag at the front of the Borghese Gallery. There were many different guide companies around, none had an orange flag. We finally located your guide, in the shade with a green flag!”

We bought the audio package, and our guide made sure all the teens (4 of them) could use his WiFi to download. But you can also get the audio guide inside and that may have been easier. It was worth it. We enjoyed it.”

“I paid 44 Euro for a "skip the line" ticket to the Galleria Borghese on July 26th. This was a timed ticket for the 2:00-4:00pm time slot, with an audio guide. After being unable to download the voucher from my email, I wrote to Viator to explain the situation. I was told that I should arrive at the museum by 2:00, and that someone from Viator partner City Wonders would be waiting there for me with my ticket.
