Highlights
- Pantheon - 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.
- Piazza della Rotonda - 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…
- Piazza della Minerva - 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.

Panthenon Rome - The Panthenon is amazing, and the private tour was great with a lot of historical information provided. Only issue was not being able to locate guide upon arrival. He did arrive at designated spot at time of tour.
