Most visitors walk into the Pantheon, look up at the dome for four minutes, take a photo, and leave. This is for the ones who want more than that. Your ticket gets you in at a time you choose, through the pre-booked entry lane — not the ticket queue, which runs past an hour in peak season.. Then the audio guide takes over: eleven short stops, in walking order, from the square outside to the bronze doors, the dome and its open oculus, the original marble floor, Raphael's tomb, and the tombs of Italy's first kings. Roughly sixteen minutes of audio across a visit of about an hour. We write and record our guides ourselves. Every stop tells you where to stand and what to look at, so you spend the visit seeing the building rather than reading a screen. It runs in your phone's browser — nothing to download. Start when you like, pause whenever, replay anything, take as long as you want. No group to keep up with, and no guide waiting on you.
