Knows and Loves The History!

Dwight_O, May 2025

Olga was fun and interactive. Took her time with the explanation and history that went with it. We had a great time with her and highly recommend.

Outstanding guide

Jackie_H, Apr 2025

Olga is a knowledgeable and delightful guide. Her background in archeology a big plus too. We learned so much that we would have missed on our own

The Pantheon is a must...

Mark_E, Dec 2024

The Pantheon is a must see in Rome. Our guide Olga was terrific, and really added to the trip. I highly recommend this tour.

Great guide, great tribute and monument!

Debra_G, Sep 2024

What was most memorable was hearing the history and story behind the paintings, sculptures and mosaics. It was beautiful and astounding. The money, power and “marketing” behind such a lavish monument is unbelievable - never would happen in today’s world. Olga was a great guide and we’re thankful she is an archaeologist as we are like-minded and she knew more about the history than most. She even took us outside and around back to show us the pagan side that was originally there but is still lots of ruins.

Excellent and most enjoyable

Really clear tour with plenty of information about the building, it's development and relevance to the history of Rome.Plenty of opportunities to ask questions.Olga was an excellent guide. I should thoroughly recommende her tour

Extremely disappointed

Ryan_M, May 2024

After reading the reviews, I was extremely excited to take this tour. Sadly, I was left with more questions than answers. Although Olga was friendly and knowledgeable on certain aspects, I felt this tour, for me lacked a lot, considering all the reviews and description. I read others mention she catered the trip to what they wanted, lucky them. Working in the engineering field, I am in awe of how this was constructed, especially being so long ago, unfortunately she didn’t seem to delve into that. I even asked, she seemed bothered by it and mentioned there’s other tours for that. I was also the only guest, so maybe she wanted to dictate how it went, I’m not sure. I walked away very disappointed. The duration on the reservation said approx 1 hour, my tour lasted 40 minutes, if you count meeting her outside and waiting in line. She seemed in a hurry to get to the next group when her time was up, maybe they had more guests. I personally wouldn't recommend this tour.

Response from Host, May 2024

I am very sorry that you were not satisfied. My presentation consists of 50 slides almost all focused on architecture and engineering. Every customer is important to me. I have studied archeology for many years and this is a tour not a university lecture. I waited for you in line, as I always do and you didn't have to wait to get in. There are no other tours to be able to enter the structures of the Pantheon (you can't, it is closed to the public, it is only open to scholars).

Phenomenal

Manina_S, Apr 2024

Professional, knowledgeable and witty. She done Latin and translated perfectly the meaning and history. We enjoyed the tour guide. She was extremely helpful. It was one of the most educational tours in Rome. A +

Fascinating and Educational

Reginald_J, Apr 2024

Our guide, Olga, was very knowledgeable and engaging. This is an excellent small group tour for anyone who wants to go deeper into the Pantheon's history and construction.

Amazing Olga

Annamarie_O, Apr 2024

The most amazing experience with Olga. Definitely worth every penny. She shows surprise around every corner. Her personality is infectious. Must for the trip to Rome

Details of the Pantheon

Sharon_B, Oct 2023

Olga is a wealth of information & a PhD in archeology. She was so personable & we found the entire experience perfecto!!!

A complete experience in a must see Roman site

Erik_W, Jul 2023

Olga was an amazing guide- we learned so much! From how to think about a Roman “monument” to how relevant the Pantheon has been through its nearly 2000 year history and the adaptations, and historical “stamps” from each era. Also amazing insight into the design and construction of this incredible place.

Knowledgeable and passionate

Anna_S, May 2023

Olga was a knowledgeable and passionate tour guide. She catered the tour for us (as I am an engineer and love details on construction) and we had so much fun with her! We loved our tour and our time with Olga.

Amazing experience

Rosalind_T, Jan 2023

Our tour of the Pantheon was amazing. Olga was an excellent tour guide! Her knowledge and interest in the Pantheon was extremely evident. Her detailed explanation of the building, architecture, design and statues gave us a in depth perspective. I highly recommend a tour with Olga!

Highly recommend booking Olga's Pantheon Tour.

Jason_W, Jul 2022

Of all the tours we took on our European vacation, our absolute favorite tour guide was Olga. First of all, in the huge crowd of people she was so easy to locate with her red umbrella. As an Archeologist she was extremely knowledgeable of the Pantheon. Our son had an especially amazing time with Olga on this tour as he is a Classics major. Five stars to Olga! She is an amazing person and tour guide. If ever in Rome again we would definitely book with Olga again.

Great

Joe_B, Jun 2022

A very informative tour led by Olga, they kindest, most passionate and best tour guide(and real archaeologist!) you can have! Like the Vatican, shoulders must be covered!

Outstanding!

Kathy P, Sep 2019

This tour was worth it! Our tour guide Olga was not only extremely knowledgeable but very passionate about the Pantheon and the history of Rome. She even took time to show us a few churches near the Pantheon that were amazing. We would have never seen them without her! Olga gave us so much information, was very friendly and warm. Ask for Olga!
