- 1The 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.
About the operator
Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- mandya240 contributionsGreat tour and great guide!Olga was great! Doing a tour with an archaeologist was really interesting and she had a surprise for us at every stop! She was very enthusiastic and told us that the Pantheon was her favorite monument. We had no idea that Neptune’s first altar was on the backside and I’m pretty sure we walked past it the day before with no clue what we had just missed.Written April 21, 2024
- X1025IGmonicaf0 contributionsOLGA IS MAGNIFICENTWe could not have asked for a better tour guide. Olga is absolutely bar none awesome! The security guards and other workers all greeted her as we entered the Pantheon which was our first clue that her wealth of knowledge was going to exceed expectations. As expected, she did not disappoint. Olga provided such detailed information that other visitors were trying to listen as well. Olga shared information that if you just walked into the venue you definitely would have no idea why or how the magnificent structure was designed and it's purpose. She shared the nooks and crannies of the Pantheon. In addition, prior to the tour, Olga was very communicative and very responsive via email and text messages. Thank you for bringing the Pantheon and Rome to life!Written March 19, 2024
- jillf6670 contributionsDiscover the Secrets of the PantheonOlga is very passionate and knowledgeable about the Pantheon and its history. We had visited before but this tour let us in on all the secrets and surprises of the Pantheon.Written March 16, 2024
- T D0 contributionsExpertise Matters. Great tour!Wonderful way to experience the Pantheon…with a guide who is both an archeologist and architect. Great 45 minute tour featuring history, symbolism, architecture and the art of this amazing structure. Her enthusiasm is infectious! Highly recommend.Written November 25, 2023
- Paradise4953600 contributionsGreat tourOur guide Olga, was very enthusiastic and knowledgeable. She pointed out things that we would not have seen on our own. Unfortunately, there were times when we could not fully make out what she was saying. We don't know if it was her accent or volume. I think a quiet box bouce system would have helped because it was very noisy inside. We were the only ones on the tour which was very nice. We enjoyed Olga's tour and her enthusiasm on the subject was very fun. We learned a lot. Sad that we couldn't go into the center any more.Written November 14, 2023
- Matt M0 contributionsQuality Guided tour of pantheonGuide was incredibly knowledgeable and welcoming. Instead of just taking pictures and reading the signs, you get context and history behind everything on display. So much better to leave feeling like you understood what you’ve seenWritten August 4, 2023
