The Pantheon, located in the heart of Rome, is the main highlight of this tour. Built originally as a temple, it is now one of the most celebrated and preserved architectural landmarks from Ancient Rome, serving as an attraction that welcomes millions of visitors each year.
The Pantheon’s dome is among its most fascinating features. Known as the largest unreinforced dome in the world, it showcases engineering ingenuity that has been marveled at for centuries. Visitors can admire its perfect symmetry and the oculus that illuminates the interior naturally. The dome’s construction, with its intricate layers and purposefully distributed weight, stands as a testament to Roman architectural excellence and offers an unforgettable sight as it spans the entire inner width of the Pantheon.
This tour includes a visit to the burial site of the famed Renaissance artist Raphael. His tomb, situated within the Pantheon, was his final resting wish, inspired by his admiration for this monumental structure. The inscription and memorial on his tomb commemorate his contributions to art and architecture. This inclusion within the Pantheon symbolizes the union of Rome’s classical and Renaissance heritage, blending the legacies of its builders and artists across ages.
Beyond its remarkable architecture, the Pantheon houses various altars and chapels, each with historical and religious significance. Originally dedicated to all Roman gods, it later became a Christian place of worship, and its chapels today display a blend of Roman and Christian artistry. These elements are introduced and explained in detail by the guide, offering guests a comprehensive view of the Pantheon’s role through the centuries and its preservation of art and culture.

It was challenging to find the ticket pick-up location. We chose the audio guide, as it was challenging to hear what was spoken.

I paid much more than the entry price to have a guide, but on arrival, there were no guides that day. The Pantheon staff informed me there were no guides available and that I should request a refund.

Our guide was very knowledgeable and friendly, sharing the history, fun facts, and myths. Afterward, we had time to explore on our own and take photos.

This tour was detailed and thorough. Not much ground to cover physically, which made it more valuable to soak in the Pantheon’s history through our guide. Worth every euro.

Very good guide who gave an interesting overview of the Pantheon. Enjoyed the experience. Four stars because of the crowds, but nothing can be done about that.
