Full description

Admire the beauty of its proportions as Michelangelo did when he first saw this architectural jewel, and discover the pagan rational behind them. Walk in through the Corinthian columns brought in all the way from Egypt and step on the ancient original marble floor of the temple.

We were guided by Samuele Casarin. He was extremely knowledgeable, very engaging and highly passionate. The tour says 40 minutes, but Samuele was on a role. We saw the Pantheon, and several squares and Piazza's, but also several other churches. Each time, Samuele had amazing "behind the scenes" stories to liven the tour up. I am going to recommend Get Your Guide -- and specially Samuele -- to all my friends. In the end, the tour was 3 hours. Amazing!

It was with great pleasure that we found Mario, our guide who in the morning made us discover the Colosseum and the Palatine Forum. This time it was the Pantheon. Mario is rich in knowledge, anecdotes that shed light on this splendid monument and its history. History of the monument, but also of its relationship with the life of Rome. Exciting.

Wonderful. I had the chance to find myself alone with Sara, guide at the TOP. After the planned 45-minute visit, she even agreed to show me the Champs de Mars and other rich buildings in the Roman center. All this for an hour, without any extra charge. A real enthusiast, so pleasant to listen to, what's more... To be done again!
