    Olga was an excellent tour guide. We could not have asked for a more qualified person. She was very knowledgeable and answered all of our questions. We learned so much more than what we had originally anticipated. I highly recommend this tour if you are planning a visit to the Pantheon.

    Fantastic tour with Olga. You could tell how passionate she was about all the knowledge she was sharing with us, which made the whole experience super engaging. We would not have enjoyed the pantheon anywhere near as much with out Olga’s company. Highly recommend this experience.

    Olga's passion for the Pantheon is infectious; her description and explanation highlighted the Pantheon is a living monument with a fascinating origin, layered with historical interpretation across the centuries.

    Pantheon Tour with Olga is a must!

    Debbie_L, Dec 2024
    Olga was amazing - she is so passionate about her subject, told us so many interesting things about the Pantheon which we would never have learned from just visiting on our own or even with the audio tour. We would highly recommend booking with her, she really brought the Pantheon alive for us. Well done and thank you.

    Best Tour!

    Laine_P, Dec 2024
    We were in Italy for 3 weeks and Olga was by far the best tour guide we had. Her knowledge and enthusiasm are unmatched by other guides. You will not be disappointed by an adventure with Olga!

    Olga is exceptional

    Lyn_H, Nov 2024
    This was an exceptionally outstanding experience. Olga’s passion for this monument is infectious. Her knowledge is vast and her English is excellent. Her experience in archeology makes for a unique perspective. She brings an iPad with many graphics to help share the history and construction of this breathtaking space. I highly recommend Olga and her tour.

    Amazing history all in one place

    Joe_w, Nov 2024
    My Wife and I enjoyed our private tour of this historical building. Our Guild Olga was amazing and she wanted us to understand the significance of this historical temple that merged the pagon and early Christians into one. She kept reminding us that we have to change our perspective. She was very passionate about her work and we enjoyed her trying to teach us about her love for this city which she called a rose. I would recommend this tour for anyone.

    Olga + the Pantheon = Great Experience!

    Kristin_O, Nov 2024
    We enjoyed a wonderful tour of the Pantheon with Olga. She's extremely knowledgeable, passionate, and engaging. We learned so much about this historic location, which was exactly what we were hoping for. Sure, you can visit the Pantheon without a guide. But you'll get so much more from the experience by visiting with Olga.

    Great!

    Lilibeth_A, Oct 2024

    We had an enjoyable experience. It was a small group and out guide was enthusiastic and knowledgeable.

    Unforgettable Pantheon Tour Experience!

    Ali_M, Sep 2024
    Olga was an excellent tour guide! We were able to skip the line outside and go right in with her. She’s an archaeologist so she really knew a lot of history and facts behind the Pantheon and had archaeological drawings to show us in reference to her descriptions she gave us. Highly, highly recommend booking with her while you are in Rome! She may have a surprise or two for you!
