      Olga the Archeologist makes an impact!
      Olga was very passionate when it came to sharing historical facts about the place. You can feel her enthusiasm pop when she tells you interesting facts about Pantheon. Highly recommended!

      Great 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.

      OLGA IS MAGNIFICENT
      We 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!

      Expertise 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.

      Great tour
      Our 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.

      Quality Guided tour of pantheon
      Guide 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 seen

    Con Olga non farai una visita guidata, ma una esperienza di poesia, di mitologia, di entusiasmo narrativo. Torneremo e con lei "scartocceremo" Roma lentamente, come una caramella

    Che dire: visita guidata in luoghi incantevoli. La storia di Roma, dalla fondazione al suo massimo splendore imperiale, spiegata con dovizia di particolari e con aneddoti che la hanno fatta apprezzare anche ai ragazzi.
    La guida è una archeologa, che sa raccontare la storia e i luoghi visitati, ed é dotata di conoscenze e simpatia non comuni.
    Oltre al Colosseo, tappa obbligata e da noi scelta, Olga ci ha portato sul Palatino, dove si trovano le prime abitazioni dell'epoca di Romolo e Remo, e da dove si vede uno spettacolare panorama dei fori e di tutta Roma.
    Imperdibile.
