Pantheon Private Guided Tour - Rome's Iconic Ancient Temple
Description
Our Pantheon Private tour in Rome starts in front of the Pantheon at given times of the day. To maintain the quality you would expect in visiting the best preserved Roman Temple in the world, we limit our Private group size so you have the guide all to yourselves . This is a unique way to share a moment with us and discover the formal and informal beauties of this part of the historical centre. In the heart of the city you can easily move on to many great sites by foot and your guide will be happy to share information about other tours and insights into the city that combines many layers of history and mystery. After the introduction outside we go straight inside with pre-booked entrance tickets that have been reserved for you, to further discuss the Pantheon's structure, its original usage, the myths, Emperors and famous royal tombs of the Savoia family. The Pantheon is the temple to all the Gods.

Itinerary
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.
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...
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.

My tour guide was Annalise, she was very good as she informed us about the importance of the pantheon. She also included us in conversations, allowed us to ask questions and was very interesting while she spoke to us. Overall she was very good and you should book with her.
Our tour guide Viviana was excellent - extremely knowledgeable and competent. We enjoyed her expertise and guiding very much.
Extremely knowledgeable guide who made the Pantheon come alive with the telling of its history. The only slight issue was that we were not told in advance where to meet the guide in a large crowded area. The guard at the Pantheon showed us the meeting spot. Smooth sailing after that.
I’m really glad to hear that the guide’s knowledge and storytelling helped bring the Pantheon to life for you—that’s exactly the experience we aim to create. Clear directions are essential, and reader, it’s something that is written on the booking voucher, please check - the exact place where to meet is written there. Margot I'm pleased to know that once you connected with the guide, everything ran smoothly. We hope to welcome you again on another tour soon.
Our tour guide was Maria Francesca and she was wonderful. Extremely knowledgeable, kind, patience and passionate. Excellent private tour and the best way to see the Pantheon.
The guide new her stuff and very friendly helpful and liked her pictures that she showed us of events she saw at the Patheon
Great experience, Peter was a very knowledgeable and kind guide, learned so much about this ancient building and Rome.
We had a private tour guide, Tommy, he has stacks of advanced degrees in Art and history. He was attentive, passionate and very knowledgeable, we highly recommend this tour, it's super interesting and impressive and only takes about an hour
Franco was great and very adept at ancient history. We were the only participants. After 10 days, our heads were a bit cluttered, but he adjusted to it and gave us a little lighter food.
This os the best way to visit. Claudia is as knowledgeable and funny. She contacted us prior to confirm and gave us recommendations for other things to do in Rome. This is exactly what we were looking for. We did not want to have a tour longer than an hour.
Anthony is a fountain of knowledge. Funny, entertaining, insightful. A joy of a guide. We learned so much. Only wished it had been longer.
