Itinerary
Meet your guide below the obelisk and enjoy an introduction to the surroundings and the exterior facade of the Pantheon before entering it.
Explore Rome’s best-preserved monument with an expert guide. Find out all the details that go unnoticed by most tourists and discover the engineering secrets of this Roman Temple dedicated to all the Gods. Be surprised by its miraculously preserved interiors and admire the largest Dome in the Ancient world. Marvel at the beauty of its proportions, just as Michelangelo did when he first saw this architectural jewel, and discover the pagan rationale behind them. Walk through the Corinthian columns brought in all the way from Egypt and step on the original marble floor of the temple. Learn about the later use as a Christian church and as a resting place for Christian martyrs, Italian royals, and famous artists such as Raphael himself. If you prefer, you can extend your guided experience with another 40-minute tour of the surrounding squares and churches (listed below). Choose this option during your booking.
OPTIONALLY, you can further explore the squares and churches surrounding the Pantheon in another 40-minute tour in the company of your guide. The visited attractions are listed below. You can add this option during the process of booking. Start your exploration with Piazza della Minerva. Be fascinated by its history and admire the "Elephant and Obelisk" sculpture designed by Bernini.
Stroll around the cobbled streets and find yourself in front of the giant columns of the Temple of Hadrian, just around the corner. Appreciate the fusion of Ancient and Modern architecture.
Enjoy glimpses of local life in the authentic Roman alleys and end your tour in Piazza Navona. Take a moment to admire the Baroque masterpieces in the square by Bernini and Borromini and appreciate the details of "Fontana dei Quattro Fiumi".

Top recommendation
A very informative tour with Anestis. It was wonderful.
Visit to the Pantheon and surrounding squares
The visit was really very nice and especially the Guide Chiara very good. In addition to the beautiful exhibition, Chiara's passion for what she told shone through. Absolutely recommended.
VIATOR scams when there are issues be warned
WARNING this tour is a rip off we had all of 21 minutes of a 1.2 hour tour, the girl was terrible I showed her that there were other areas we were supposed to do and she said” sorry I have another tour to do” the company is disgusting they would not answer there phone, I called and have been emailing VIATOR and they have been even worse, they have said a 44 dollar refund for what was a miserable and misrepresented tour. I have emailed VAITOR and requested to speak with a supervisor and as usual the call center is in a an eastern country and the lady I spoke to Denise could not understand why I wanted to cancel the tour, she could not understand that the tour had happened but was only 21 minutes we even told her and Viator that we had the entire time recorded and would be happy to provide it to them. They then marketed the tour “refund rejected” do not waste your time or money with either the tour operator or Viator as both just blame the other and you are the loser.
Pantheon tour with Tara
Tara served as our guide and was very knowledgeable of the history and meaning of the Pantheon. With her PhD background, Tara provided an excellent discussion and helped us gain a better appreciation of this amazing structure. We highly recommend Tara.
Perfect communication, fluent in major languages, perfect time management and passionate about this work.
Zenda is a great guide, passionate about what she does and it seams that she've studied a lot about every single detail, knowing the perfect balance between tour progress, story telling and time management. More than 100% recommended.
