Our tour guide, Joab was...

Kamila_S, May 2023

Our tour guide, Joab was awesome! He was funny and entertaining which made the tour way more interesting! He also gave us tips for some awesome selfie pictures. The headset wasn’t great but his voice was loud so I didn’t need it to hear him.

Amazing

Jane_E, May 2023

Very informative and clearly explained. Obviously passionate about the Pantheon. Loved it! One of the highlights of our trip to Rome- Grazie 🙏💕

Great efficient tour!

Marlene_C, May 2023

We were really satisfied with this tour. Nina was a great guide! Quick tour efficient. Loved ir. Even my 7 year old son enjoyed it.

Nice Tour but Guide Needs to Arrive on Time

John_K, May 2023

While the actual tour was very nice, we were very disappointed (and slightly stressed) the tour guide did not meet us at 2:00pm as scheduled, and it was only after 2 phone calls that we were finally found by the tour guide at 2:15pm, fifteen minutes late.

Nice, short tour to start your day

susan_m, May 2023

Short tour but very informative about this "in tact" building of Ancient Rome. Tour guide had an accent but still fairly easy to understand.

The guide, Antony, was...

Heather_D, May 2023

The guide, Antony, was very informative with great humour and wit! Handled a big group in close quarters!

Passionate tour guide - mediocre tour

Holly_G, May 2023

Tour guide was passionate and knowledgeable. Without any sound system, it was very difficult to hear anything and he provided a lot of facts, dates, names, etc. that were impossible to track with throughout. I would recommend others just get the headset tour offered at the venue and enjoy on their own.

Great guide, but not a lot of ground to cover.

Robert_R, May 2023

The guide (Joe) was excellent. The Pantheon tour is not an extensive tour, but he gave a small territory great life. His storytelling and take on history was great. He made it entertaining and worth doing. Three of my stars are for him alone, and I’d give him a 5 if the review was just for him.

Fun, informative 👍

Kevin_H, May 2023

Rather than just entering and aimlessly walking around, we decided to have a guided tour to hopefully learn more than we would have otherwise... we did , our guide brought the Pantheon to life with its historical context to the life and times of those who built it and also pointed out many things inside that we would probably not have found out about. All this was delivered clearly and with good humour . Definitely worth the expense and I certainly wish to learn more about this amazing building.

Not Great

Scott_R, May 2023

Fairly disorganised. My main concern was the headsets appeared to be recycled which is very dangerous with the number of available ear infections that could be caught. The guide asked for the packets back and the headsets. When we were given them I noticed it did not have the metal tie around them which they normally have which confirmed they were reused. We did numerous tours during our stay and they all told us to keep the headsets to discard. Also some of the guides opinions on religion etc and jokes may have offended some. I was not personally but I can imagine some would be. Also the quality of sound was very poor on the headset. I don’t like leaving bad reviews but feel it’s necessary in this occasion as we felt disappointed.

An amazing guide!

Andrea_V, May 2023

Our guide (Job) was amazing. He used stories and facts and humour to bring the Pantheon to life. His knowledge of the history of Rome and Italy is impressive.

Fantastic Tour of the Patheon!

Mary_R, May 2023

Job was a fantastic tour guide and had so much knowledge and sense of humor! He knew the history inside and out!

Awesome guide

CRAIG_A, May 2023

The guide was funny and very informative. He should guide all if Viator's tours! Would definitely recommend this tour for all.

Pantheon Tour

Deborah_H, May 2023

learning from our tour guide was the highlight instead of just walking through it! the history is magnificent! Learned so much! will be back!

Very interesting history - excellent guide.

Barbara_Z, Apr 2023

Our guide was fantastic! She was a former Pantheon employee and had great inside information to share with us. Including unique photos. Very informative and enjoyable. Spoke very good English too.

Never located guide

Glenn_M, Apr 2023

We arrived to square 15 minutes early. Confirmed correct meeting place by L’Antica Salumeria, then started to search entire square for our guide and never found them. There were no signs for our group. Spoke to 5 different guides who were all the wrong group. Very unhappy and we’re looking forward to the tour.

Pretty pointless - go on your own!!

Jennifer_P, Apr 2023

Of all the tours we did in Italy, this was the only one we wish we would have skipped. There was nothing very informative or interesting about the information provided; I learned much more listening to a free online audio tour. I booked this because I heard the Pantheon line was very long, but we still had to wait in line with everyone else. This is NOT a "skip the line", unlike all of our other tours. In the time we waited for the tour to start, we could have already gotten in line and been in and out of the Pantheon. Instead we waited 20 minutes for the tour to start, then waited 15-20 minutes in the line, and then stood around while the tour guide seemed to be trying to remember random facts. Be aware that the Pantheon line goes VERY fast, so just download a free audio tour, get in line, and you'll have a much more pleasant experience.

Brilliant tour, brilliant guide. Recommended!

Lisa_L, Apr 2023

Very informative and funny guide. Answered all our questions. Really knew her stuff! Really enjoyed this tour and so glad we booked it.
