Your Experience
Dive into an hour-long official guided tour of the Eternal City's most stunning ancient temple, the Pantheon. With a maximum group size of fewer than 10 people, you'll enjoy personalized attention while exploring landmarks like Bernini’s Elephant and its accompanying obelisk. The plinth on this square side references Isis and is dedicated to St Mary, symbolizing that it takes an elephant's robust spirit to support true wisdom.

On April 21st at midday—the founding date of Rome—sunlight strikes a metal grille above the door, illuminating the entranceway. This natural spotlight would have highlighted emperors in ancient times. Also included is a visit to Raphael's tomb, honoring one of Renaissance art’s greatest painters.
