About this tour

Trade the usual sightseeing stroll for a hands-on art experience in the leafy paths of Villa Borghese. On this Rome watercolor tour, artist Guido Sistopaoli shares more than 35 years of experience as you learn to observe and paint some of the park’s most memorable landmarks.

Meet at the staircase of Galleria Borghese in Piazzale Scipione Borghese, then head to the Sea Horse Fountain to collect your painting materials and begin with a first lesson. Continue to the Temple of Diana, where you’ll pause to paint and enjoy views of Casina di Raffaello and Piazza di Siena. The final stop is the garden lake and Temple of Asclepius. Each of the three painting stops lasts 45 minutes, with practical guidance on portraying the scenes and using watercolors, including tips for beginners. Paints, brushes, paper, a tablet, water, and a glass are provided.

This 150-minute Rome watercolor tour offers a relaxed way to connect with Villa Borghese through art. Bring your curiosity, meet Guido, and create your own impressions of the park.

How this score is calculated

This score is based on one provider. Viator rates it 5.00 from 28 reviews. We place that rating among all Viator ratings and weight it by its review count. If the tour is found on another provider later, both ratings are combined.

How the score works and rating distribution in Rome
  • Each provider rating is turned into a percentile: the share of that provider's ratings it beats, weighted by review counts.
  • Listings on different providers are combined in proportion to their review counts.
  • Tours with few reviews are pulled toward the average until more reviews come in, so a handful of perfect reviews can't top the list.
  • The result is shown from 0 to 10: this tour scores 8.2. Top 10% in Rome means it ranks in the top 10% of tours in Rome by this score.
