The Pantheon has stood, dome intact, for nearly 1,900 years and is arguably Rome’s most impressive form of ancient engineering. However, hard-to-get tickets and long entry lines make it difficult to visit. On this small-group tour, skip the long ticket line with your expert guide and up to 9 others. Once inside, gaze up through the oculus, the dome's only light source, and linger at Raphael's tomb on the polychrome marble floor while your guide shares fascinating stories.

Pantheon Small Group Guided Tour with Skip-the-Line Entry

Step inside ancient Rome's best-preserved temple and stand beneath its soaring dome

Your tour begins near the Pantheon

Meet your guide at the fountain in Piazza della Rotonda, in front of the Pantheon's grand columns. Look for your guide holding a sign, then skip the long ticket lines and step straight inside this ancient temple.

Admire the Pantheon's towering portico

Stand beneath the massive granite columns of the portico, each carved from single blocks quarried in Egypt nearly 2,000 years ago. Your guide reveals how Emperor Hadrian rebuilt this temple around 126 AD.

Gaze up at the dome and oculus

Step into the rotunda and look up at the world's largest unreinforced concrete dome, crowned by the oculus, a 30-foot opening to the sky. Learn how Roman engineers achieved this feat that still stuns architects.

Visit the tomb of Raphael

Pause at the resting place of Renaissance master Raphael, buried here since 1520 beneath a simple Latin inscription. Your guide shares stories of the kings and artists memorialized within these marble walls.

Take in the marble interior

Walk across the original polychrome marble floor, designed with circles and squares that have survived nearly two millennia. Notice the subtle drainage holes that channel rain falling through the open oculus.

Your tour ends outside the Pantheon

After exploring inside, step back out to Piazza della Rotonda where your tour ends. Ask your guide for coffee and gelato recommendations nearby, then linger in one of Rome's liveliest and most historic squares.
