Tour details

This private tour of the Pantheon with access to the Basilica of Neptune will let you discover the best preserved of all Roman monuments, along with the newly opened area belonging to the ancient Basilica of Neptune. Located behind the main building, it houses marble fragments, decorative elements, frescoes and liturgical architecture that, over the centuries, have been gradually removed from the Pantheon. Led by a professional guide, this exclusive 2-hour tour unveils the history, architecture, and legends of one of the most famous Roman temples ever built.

Meet your guide (who’ll have your tickets) in the queue to get in, to streamline the process and enter the monument in no time. Learn the secrets of this unique building, the oldest place of worship still in use, and walk on an almost 2,000-year marble floor.

Find out the story of the massive columns of the entrance hall, then marvel at the huge dome, a true masterpiece of engineering that has stood the test of time since it was erected, in the II Century A.D. Learn about the oculus, the building’s only source of natural light, and discover the tombs of prominent figures of Italian past, among whom the first Kings and the great artist Raphael.

Then, a reserved access will let you in the remains of the Basilica of Neptune, where you’ll be on a small group with a guide provided by the Pantheon itself. The visit begins with an immersive video mapping that reconstructs the “special effects” of the Oculus, showing how the Pantheon was conceived as a sort of large cosmic clock. Whereas the first part of the tour focuses on the Roman Pantheon, the second section tells the story of the Christian Pantheon, after its consecration in 609.

Finally, step outside to admire the Pantheon’s grand façade and the beautiful Piazza della Rotonda, where your guide will share insider stories and local tips to continue exploring Rome’s historic center.

This private guided tour of the Pantheon is the perfect way to experience Ancient Rome’s art, architecture, and spirituality — all with personalized attention and expert storytelling.
