Our guide was very knowledgeable. Short tour but worth the extra information about the Pantheon and everyone buried inside
Not worth the money. Paid over $80 euros and the tour was short and hard to hear and understand. Seemed to last less than 20 mins. The only saving grace was we didn't have to wait on line. Do this one on your own.
Pantheon was spectacular! Our guide was passionate and knowledgeable. Art after 35 minutes hour one hour and 10 minute experience that we were promised and expecting ended prematurely.
