Lee_J, May 2026

Katherine_H, May 2026
Our guide was wonderful and very informative. I learned a lot about the history of the church and the empire
Derek_S, May 2026
A great tour. The perfect amount of time spent on history and the building itself, with nice bits of humor.
Response from Host, May 2026
We’re delighted to hear you enjoyed the balance of history, architecture, and a few lighter moments along the way.
We truly appreciate your feedback.
Matthew_H, May 2026
I would highly recommend this tour. Donatella was a great guide. She knew a lot about the Pantheon and the surrounding history
Kathleen_T, May 2026
The meeting place was easy to find our guide. She was very knowledgeable about the pantheon and ancient Roman history. Having a guide is important when the pantheon is crowded with people.
chris_b, May 2026
The pantheon is a must see. We went at a busy time of year so a guide I felt was necessary to make sure we had tickets. Our guide was too focused on people bumping in to her or walking in front of her in line. This made it a bit distracting for us but our kids didn’t seem to mind.
Response from Host, May 2026
Thank you for your thoughtful review! We completely agree, the Pantheon is one of those places that never fails to impress, no matter how many times you visit.
We’re very glad to hear your children enjoyed the experience, even during a busy period. Kids are often wonderfully adaptable, so it’s great to know they had a good time.
Please excuse the guide’s behaviour on the day. At busy times we can sometimes be a little overprotective of our guests, especially if it's an unusually crowded day, but we appreciate your understanding and your feedback.
Janice_H, May 2026
Our guide met us on time at the meeting location that was easy to find. She was very knowledgeable about the Pantheon and Italian history. This tour is good if you have a scooter or wheelchair.
Cori_C, May 2026
Annalisa was great! So enjoyed the info! Great communication! The Pantheon was so cool! My daughter enjoyed it too.
Christopher_Y, May 2026

Mark_S, May 2026
Our tour guide was great! No trouble finding her at the meeting point. She gave us a most memorable and informative tour!
Barbara_C, May 2026
There were tons of people milling about, so look for the signs as posted in the instructions. If you are at all interested in religious studies or architecture, then this tour is for you. It was fascinating.
LauraBeth_G, Apr 2026
The Pantheon tour was amazing! Donatella gave us a great tour. We were so impressed with her knowledge and expertise of the Pantheon!
Joanne_C, Apr 2026
We were the only ones on the tour, so we were certainly given the VIP treatment. Francesca was very knowledgeable and it was evident she has a strong passion and connection to the Pantheon.
Justin_S, Apr 2026
Our tour of the pantheon was nice and our guide Amanda was fun to be with. She knew the history of not just the pantheon but so much more. We learned about a lot of the building itself and surrounding area buildings we also checked out.
David_F, Apr 2026
This was one of my favorite tours on my trip to Rome. It was amazing to have a personal guide to show us one of the primary ancient buildings left in tact from antiquity. Our guide, Elena, was fantastic. She was very kind and knowledgeable, taking great care to give us a wide spectrum of history related to the Pantheon. Absolutely recommend this to anyone who wants to do the Pantheon the most justice.
Analisa_H, Apr 2026
Vivi was fantastic! We had a small group, only 4 people and she went over everything this tour had to offer. The told us stories and the history behind every little piece in the pantheon. She even went over the stories of the people buried in the pantheon. I really enjoyed my tour with her and would highly recommend her to the l anyone coming to see Rome. Best tour ever!
Martha_J, Apr 2026
Our tour guide was nice and vwry detailed and knowledgeable of the Pantheon. It is a 1 hour your but you can stay at long as you want after the tour.
Wieland_U, Apr 2026
To have a guide I can only recommend. To go alone For sure will lead to missing some 90% of things worthwhile exploring.
Donatella is highly qualified. Her pass number is 205389.
Mark_B, Apr 2026
Donatella was a very knowledgeable and friendly guide who put over the information clearly and captivatingly. Remember to ask her where one of the best piazzas in Rome with fountains can be found - no it’s not Trevi.
Nicole_S, Apr 2026
Lots of information about the pantheon given and plenty of opportunities to ask questions. Very well organised with plenty of communication before the event.
Response from Host, Apr 2026
I’m really glad to hear that you found the experience both informative and well organised. The Pantheon has so many layers to uncover, so it’s great to know you enjoyed the depth of information and had the chance to ask questions along the way.
It’s also wonderful to hear that the communication beforehand helped everything run smoothly—that’s something we are working on, as some days are particular and Liberation day was one of those days.
Cheryl_C, Apr 2026
Donatella was a fantastic guide, very knowledgeable and entertaining, she answered all questions asked.
Interesting and enjoyable tour.
Robert_J, Apr 2026
Perfect tour, there were only 4 of us in the tour and with the crowds was just right. Vivi our tour guide was great and highly recommended if you have the opportunity to go there.
michael_p, Apr 2026
1 hour tour was long enough
Very crowded outside and at fountain
Very good guide knew topic very well
Christoph_S, Apr 2026
Our guide had good knowledge and a fine humor. I would do it again and can recommend it. Don’t hesitate to book
Response from Host, Apr 2026
Thank you Christopher for sharing your experience.
Scott_C, Apr 2026
The guide was terrible. Very negative, did not stay on topic ( I didn’t pay to hear about her personal life or opinions). Tour with meaningful content could have taken half the time. Not prepared …we had to assist in getting radios out of a knot!!!
Response from Host, Apr 2026
Hello Scott,
We are sorry to hear that the tour did not meet your expectations. However, we would like to clarify that all of our guides are licensed professionals selected for their expertise and ability to provide both historical context and engaging commentary. A certain degree of personal interpretation and storytelling is often appreciated by many of our guests, (please read the previous review below) from another visitor on the same tour with the same Guide.
That said, we regret if aspects of the delivery did not align with your taste and our new guide was perhaps not as experienced with the logistics - now she is up to scratch.
Regarding the radios, these are routinely prepared in advance, and we apologise if there was an unexpected issue on the day.
John_H, Apr 2026
Great tour, worked through incontrollable circumstances, very informative and fun and interactive. Skip the line is the way to go.
Response from Host, Apr 2026
Thank you for touching upon the variables that exist, and that we adapt to. We do our best! Most appreciated.
Vincent_P, Apr 2026
Amanda was our guide and she was amazing. Her information was exciting and very informative. Viator has always provided us with great guides.
Response from Host, Apr 2026
Thank you for your lovely feedback! We’re so pleased to hear that Amanda made your experience both exciting and informative—she truly has a gift for bringing history to life.
Ann_H, Apr 2026
Jessica was a fantastic guide for our first visit to the Pantheon! The meeting spot was easy to find and she and her colleague assembled the group with ease. Jessica has great knowledge she shares it in a fun and personable way! Thank you for the great time!
Response from Host, Apr 2026
We’re delighted to hear that Jessica made your first visit to the Pantheon such a memorable one. It’s great to know everything ran smoothly from the meeting point to the group organisation, and that you enjoyed her fun and engaging way of sharing her knowledge.
