Itinerary
The Pantheon, one of the monuments symbolizing the grandeur of Rome, has shown itself in all its might, in all its architectural supremacy. The Pantheon, the only monument that has survived almost completely intact, one of the few in which, even today, surrounded by hundreds of people, one feels transported back in time and space, alone, surrounded by magic and mastery of Roman architects and engineers who have made a monument to the power of Rome in the art of building monumentality.

Olga was fun and interactive. Took her time with the explanation and history that went with it. We had a great time with her and highly recommend.
Olga is a knowledgeable and delightful guide. Her background in archeology a big plus too. We learned so much that we would have missed on our own
The Pantheon is a must see in Rome. Our guide Olga was terrific, and really added to the trip. I highly recommend this tour.
What was most memorable was hearing the history and story behind the paintings, sculptures and mosaics. It was beautiful and astounding. The money, power and “marketing” behind such a lavish monument is unbelievable - never would happen in today’s world. Olga was a great guide and we’re thankful she is an archaeologist as we are like-minded and she knew more about the history than most. She even took us outside and around back to show us the pagan side that was originally there but is still lots of ruins.
Really clear tour with plenty of information about the building, it's development and relevance to the history of Rome.Plenty of opportunities to ask questions.Olga was an excellent guide. I should thoroughly recommende her tour
After reading the reviews, I was extremely excited to take this tour. Sadly, I was left with more questions than answers. Although Olga was friendly and knowledgeable on certain aspects, I felt this tour, for me lacked a lot, considering all the reviews and description. I read others mention she catered the trip to what they wanted, lucky them. Working in the engineering field, I am in awe of how this was constructed, especially being so long ago, unfortunately she didn’t seem to delve into that. I even asked, she seemed bothered by it and mentioned there’s other tours for that. I was also the only guest, so maybe she wanted to dictate how it went, I’m not sure. I walked away very disappointed. The duration on the reservation said approx 1 hour, my tour lasted 40 minutes, if you count meeting her outside and waiting in line. She seemed in a hurry to get to the next group when her time was up, maybe they had more guests. I personally wouldn't recommend this tour.
I am very sorry that you were not satisfied. My presentation consists of 50 slides almost all focused on architecture and engineering. Every customer is important to me. I have studied archeology for many years and this is a tour not a university lecture. I waited for you in line, as I always do and you didn't have to wait to get in. There are no other tours to be able to enter the structures of the Pantheon (you can't, it is closed to the public, it is only open to scholars).
Professional, knowledgeable and witty. She done Latin and translated perfectly the meaning and history. We enjoyed the tour guide. She was extremely helpful. It was one of the most educational tours in Rome. A +
Our guide, Olga, was very knowledgeable and engaging. This is an excellent small group tour for anyone who wants to go deeper into the Pantheon's history and construction.
The most amazing experience with Olga. Definitely worth every penny. She shows surprise around every corner. Her personality is infectious. Must for the trip to Rome
Olga is a wealth of information & a PhD in archeology. She was so personable & we found the entire experience perfecto!!!
