Doria Pamphilj Gallery (Galleria Doria Pamphilj)

Our guide was outstanding. Knowledgable, personable, humerous. She brought the gallery alive for us and we stepped back into past centuries

The Gallery was very interesting. The paintings on the walls, the painted ceilings, the sculptures, and even the floors were all a very enjoyable experience.

This gallery is absolutely amazing, and the audio tour helped us understand and appreciate the story of the family that owns it. It is narrated by a member of the family (descendants of a pope) who apparently still lives there. Obtaining these tickets is a bit confusing, so let me explain the steps: 1-Pay in the Viator app or website (the app is very good) 2-You'll get a message saying to go to an address about 1/2 mile from the gallery to pick up the actual tickets. Here's the first tip: you don't have to do this. Just go have a Campari someplace and wait for step 3. 3-Eventually (it was about 12-18 hours later for me), you'll get one email for each ticket. In that email is a link that will say something like "bigliettoA4-123456.pdf". That appears to be a file, but it's actually a link to Viator.com. 4-I found that when I clicked it on my phone, it opened the Viator app but didn't show me the actual tickets. Here's the second tip: do one of these: a-open the email on a computer rather than a phone, which will then put the ticket in your download folder, from which you can print it. a-forward the emails to your hotel concierge and let him/her print the tickets. c-on your phone, press and hold the link until you get a menu from which you can open it with a browser rather than the Viator app. 5. Show up at the gallery, not the address in step 2 and show them the ticket. You'll be directed to a turnstile where you can scan it for entry without having to go to the ticket office. None of this is difficult but it took a bit to figure out. Enjoy the gallery! It's great.

Beautiful experience……quiet and not crowded….easy access…..timed tickets and amazing art….a must see when coming to Roma!!

Nice and knowledgeable guide, made the visit fun and interesting. Beautiful venue. Will definitely return.

This was one of the best tours we took because it was self-guided once we were in the apartments. An audio guide was included. There was a time frame but it was enough time to see most everything. The art collection itself was worth the price of admission.
