Itinerary
Day 1
Start and complete the compact Pantheon Elite guided tour. The guide meets the group at the meeting point in Piazza della Rotonda, gives context and stories about Rome's mythical founding and the Augustan-era Pantheon, leads the group inside for the principal interior highlights, then finishes with the exterior details and the fountain by Jacopo Della Porta.
Meet & Inside — Myth, History and the Pantheon Interior
Meet the guide outside Antica Salumeria at Piazza della Rotonda, 4. Introductory remarks on-site, then enter the Pantheon to explore its interior, dome, oculus and historical layers while the guide recounts the myths of Rome and the building's continuous history.
Tips from local experts:
- Arrive 10 minutes before the scheduled start at Piazza della Rotonda, 4; the guide waits outside Antica Salumeria (meeting point).
- Dress modestly: knees and shoulders must be covered for entry to the Pantheon.
- Wheelchair accessible: if you require step-free assistance, notify the operator in advance so the guide can plan the best entry route.
Exterior — Columns, Circular Form and Jacopo Della Porta Fountain
Step outside to examine the Pantheon's portico, the arrangement of its columns and circular temple form; the guide will also point out and explain the fountain by Jacopo Della Porta and surrounding layers of urban history.
Tips from local experts:
- The exterior section involves short periods of standing; use nearby seating by the square if you need brief rests.
- For clearer photographs of the façade and fountain, position yourself on the square's paved area where the guide indicates; avoid obstructing other visitors.
- If you have a small backpack or cane, keep it close—the guide can advise on the least-crowded route to the square for easier mobility.
