Hello,
I messed up and didn't get our tickets for the Borghese Gallery from the official site, www.tosc.it.
I reviewed many threads but couldn't find postings from visitors who used resellers like Headout.com.
My options for our dates are to book the Italian tour from the official site and follow with a smile since we don't understand Italian, purchase from a reseller or a tour guide.
We're not looking for a tour, but maybe that is the least worse option.
Anyone with success with tickets from a reseller?
thank you!

We were there in May. As I recall, the tours from the official site were much cheaper than other options. We took the English speaking tour but if I were in your shoes I would take the Italian one, even though I don't understand Italian either. The tour takes you to the highlights of the gallery and really to understand even the English, you had to be very close to the guide. In other words, many times we just enjoyed what we were being shown, which you could do also.
It is a beautiful place and not crowded which is such a joy, especially in Rome.

We were at the Borghesse last fall. We hired a tour guide through either “Get Your Guide” or “Viator” I remember his name but not which app we used. His name was Franc. He was so knowledgeable and friendly. He pointed out amazing details that we were unaware of along with lots of trivia about the Borghesse family. It didn’t cost all that much and we would do it again in a heartbeat. He spoke English with an amazing accent. I think you’ll get so much more out of the museum if it’s in your language. Good luck!

Thank you both for the replies. I'll look for a tour on the sites suggested.
