Guided tour of Santa Maria Sopra Minerva
Guide tips
Your tour begins at Piazza della Minerva
You'll meet your guide beneath Bernini's whimsical elephant obelisk in the charming Piazza della Minerva. This quiet square sets the stage for your express tour through some of Rome's most fascinating landmarks.
Santa Maria sopra Minerva
Step inside the Basilica di Santa Maria Sopra Minerva, one of Rome's few Gothic churches. You'll discover stunning frescoes, Michelangelo's Christ the Redeemer sculpture, and a beautiful painted ceiling that predates the Sistine Chapel. Your guide will also point out a moving funeral monument by Bernini.
Basilica of Neptune ruins
Pause at the ancient ruins of the Basilica of Neptune. Your guide will share stories of Rome's pagan past and explain how the city transformed from pagan temples to Christian landmarks over the centuries.
Skip the line to enter the Pantheon
Walk to Piazza della Rotonda and bypass the crowds with exclusive skip-the-line access. You'll step inside this architectural masterpiece and begin exploring its most famous features, starting with the massive dome that continues to fascinate visitors nearly 2,000 years later.
Discover the Oculus and tombs
Gaze up at the oculus, the open centerpiece of the dome that floods the space with natural light. You'll learn about the significance of the tombs housed within, including Renaissance artist Raphael and Italian monarchs, and the fascinating stories behind them.

The tour was very impressive. Our tour guide was extremely knowledgeable and made the experience memorable. She pointed out areas of interest, giving detailed history and made us all feel lucky to be there. When the tour ended, we were able to stay for mass, inside the Pantheon. Incredible. Highly recommend this tour.

Alexandra (Alex) made the Pantheon and its surroundings truly come alive. I was already a huge fan of this structure, but she added so much. Full of information, full of enthusiasm, knew the surrounding area because she grew up and attended school in the Pantheon district. Highly recommend this tour!

This was an exceptional tour with a truly expert guide! Alex, our guide, couldn't have been more amazing! We could have listened to her for hours! We honestly wished the tour was longer as she was a wealth of knowledge! Alex shared stories as well from her childhood days playing in the area of the Pantheon and knew incredible details about the Pantheon and surrounding area. We could tell she had a true passion for architecture, history, and archeology. Whenever we are in Rome again - we would book any tour with this company and with Alex! Memorable experience with our incredible guide!
Alex the Great!

Our tour guide was wonderful. She grew up down the street from the Pantheon. She really knew the history, ancient and during her lifetime. I highly recommend Alex.

I was at the location early. When my guide never showed, I quickly found another TheTourGuy guide, who brought me to the location that he said was where my tour usually starts from. He also introduced me to Tripou guide. He ultimately got me in to the Pantheon after I paid him another 10 Euro. I used my Rick Steves audio to get the info about the Pantheon. Disappointed: Yes! Want a refund: Most definitely! I booked five trips in Rome with The Tour Guy. Four out of five were Great! And I know there was a transit strike the day of this tour. But I made it to the venue. The Tour Guy’s partner on this one: Doooing Experience gets an “F” this time.
