The only reason to use a reseller is if you fail to buy tickets early enough, and they are sold out. Some re-sellers are unreliable, in that they may not have all of the tickets they purport to sell, and cancel you at the last minute.

You made a natural mistake in your subject line, so note again that you are buying tickets to the Borghese Gallery, the Borghese is a huge public park, with the Gallery in one corner (not too far from a city bus stop, I don't remember the route number.). I trust you know the gallery ticket is for a specific two-hour slot, and you MUST exit after your two hours. There will be a big line and a mad rush to enter. Obey any stated rules about bags and cameras to avoid delays.

I usually take the FCO Express train to Termini station. Your hotel location may call for a different rail stop, or another transit mode.

You might want to go to your public library and read Rick Steves (our host here) Rome or RS Italy. Only the prices and hours will be "out of date." It's a really useful approach to European travel.

It looks as if there are still quite a few dates and times available in early October, but I would not wait too long to purchase your tickets…either for general admission for a 2 hour time slot or a guided tour.

Taxi from airport to Rome center is fixed rate 55 euros ( inside Aurelian walls)

Go to the official taxi rank in front of terminal, wait your turn
Do not go with anyone who offers a taxi before that
Hand the driver your hotel address on a slip of paper

All taxis are required by law to accept credit cards but confirm with driver
Cash is fine as well
No tip required

Borghese is a timed entry 2 hour slot as explained above

Definitely buy your Borghese Gallery tickets directly from the museum’s official ticket site (link in earlier post). Tickets for an adult, non-EU citizen is a deal at only €15, but we got the ticket plus English Language tour for €23 total, and that was an excellent value. We were let in to the lower level of the Gallery building a few minutes early, where the mandatory, free bag check is located, and where the guided tours meet. There wasn’t any mad rush for us, and the guide got the group through the museum very efficiently.

Looks like tickets for the latter half of this October aren’t being sold yet, but for the first half, buy them while they’re still available.

We took the Leonardo Express train from the airport to the Termini train station, then walked out to the taxi queue to get a cab to our lodging. Taxis weren’t showing up, and the line of people waiting was long and getting longer. If there’s no unmoving line, then take a cab (unless your hotel has a better suggestion then Leonardo Express plus taxi). After waiting in the taxi queue for a long time and no taxis (plus an annoying person across the street on a megaphone yelling nonsense to anybody in the area), we walked a couple of blocks from the station and were able to flag down a taxi on the street, and get to our lodging that way. If you use the Moovit App, it will give you bus numbers, routes, and times for the Rome bus system, and that works easily and well.

Take a taxi from the airport to your hotel in Rome.

How many are you? Leonardo Express is €14 per person. If there are 4 of you, a taxi will be a better deal. If more than four, or lots of luggage, you could need more than one taxi, so the Leonardo Express should be looked at for a bigger group.

Even if there are 2 of you a taxi from FCO is not much more than 2 Leonardo Express then taxi to your hotel
28 plus 10 or 12? vs 55- you get door to door service in a taxi from FCO. Pretty nice after an overnight flight!

And the taxi queue at the airport is reliable, with a constant supply of taxis ready to transport people to their hotels at the flats rate. It’s not like the taxi situation at the Termini train station that Cyn describes.
