Highlights
- Pantheon - Inside the Pantheon, 3rd most visited site in Rome, it deserves a tranquil and privileged visit. With this special semi private morning, lunch or afternoon tour (choose your time), you’ll have the chance visit the Pantheon, guided by a native-speaking or official guide. We put into context the myths and beliefs of the ancient Romans, the tales of a many layered history before entering the best-preserved Roman temple in the world. Beware a hint of humour might lace the tour.
- Piazza della Rotonda - In front of the Pantheon, the glorious piazza displays a voluptuous fountain by Jacopo Della Porta with an ancient Obelisk raised above it, capped by a crucifix. Fountains in the late Renaissance were celebratory expressions of the return of water after near 1000 years…
- Piazza della Minerva - The Palazzo Spadolini was once a tribunal against heretics, were women were put on trial for witchcraft and scientist such as Galileo were tortured by the Dominicans. Also on the Piazza is the only Church with a Pagan name: Santa Maria Sopra Minerva, a church built upon the Temple to the goddess Isis.

Additional Information
Our Pantheon Private tour in Rome begins in front of the Pantheon at specified times throughout the day. To ensure a high-quality experience at the best-preserved Roman Temple in the world, we keep our Private group sizes small, allowing you to have the guide’s full attention. This offers a unique opportunity to share a moment with us and explore both the formal and informal beauties of this historic area. Located in the heart of the city, you can easily walk to many other great sites, and your guide will be happy to provide information about additional tours and insights into the city’s rich layers of history and mystery. After an introduction outside, we head straight inside with pre-booked entrance tickets reserved for you, to delve deeper into the Pantheon’s structure, its original purpose, the myths, Emperors, and the famous royal tombs of the Savoia family. The Pantheon is a temple dedicated to all the Gods.

Tommy boy our hero of the pantheon - Most real and entertaining tour guide we have had, wish we had him for all of our tours over Italy, Tommy kept us engaged the whole time with comedy and knowledge. We want to have a drink with tommy if we ever cross paths again. I think he deserves a raise. Do not let this gem pass by. Also, Tommy is the only guide my wife has paid attention to the entire time in italy 10 out of 10

Pantheon Panos - Jobe was an exceptional guide for the Pantheon. With his 20 years experience living in Rome combined with his humor and local colour, he brought the Pantheon to life. He also provided help with some awesome pano photos to capture this magnificent site. Don’t miss this tour & avoid the long queues.

A feast of information - Claudia met us as planned and took us on a information filled tour, of this 2000 year old temple. She was rich in the history and clearly and passionately explained the origins, its usages and relevance through the ages.
Paying for this private tour with an historian was well worth it
Her sense of humour was just uplifting and we made an instant connection. Thank you Claudia.

Tommy was a great guide! - We had a little trouble finding the meeting spot but Tommy, our tour guide, was able to find us in the crowd (I guess we really did looked lost; LOL!). Tommy was able to get us in quickly, avoiding the long lines, and explaining the history and stories about the Pantheon in great/interesting detail. We learned many things we never would have on our own!

Pantheon Private Tour - Our guide, Tommy was very informative. It was a short 45 minute tour inside. Our guide changed our time, which worked out okay for our schedule.

Good tour on short notice - Good tour, but a bit pricey for just 45 minutes. However, did skip the line and got right in during busy time.

Just okay - The Private Tour itself was fine. The guide was knowledgeable. What turned us off was that the Guide took us to the very front of the Skip the Line where there were others who had been waiting. He just butted in and we didn’t know. We were just following his lead. As you can imagine, this almost started WWW III. 😂 One of the angry patron even grabbed my arm cursing and the guide did very little to defend us, let alone explain himself.

Unprofessional guide - Our guide Tommy was more concerned about our American accent and our Astronomical signs and less about giving us the correct historical facts about the Pantheon.. The least professional guide I’ve experienced
