Dony was an absolute star. He took the time to understand what we wanted to see and learn about and tailored his discussions to suit our needs. His descriptions and stories really brought ancient Rome to life and allowed us a better understanding of what life was like and how they lived.
Dony did a wonderful job of showing us the Borghese Gallery collections. We highly recommend this tour! He was very informative, starting with a brief history of the Borghese family while we walked the grounds, illuminating the history of the sculpture garden and noting the gallery's ties to the Napoleonic era. Dony took note of our particular interest in Bernini's sculptures and pointed out details and elements of each that showed his careful study of the works. Paintings and other important sculptures were pointed out as well as we toured the gallery with historical and artistic context described in a way that illuminated each piece for us. There was a lot to see and take in, his descriptions were to the point, showed wit and humor while he kept us moving so we could see the many important works in the gallery. It was an amazing and unforgettable experience!
What a great tour! Dony gave us so much information in such a fun way- the adults and pre teens alike enjoyed! Another great Context tour.
