Guided tours of the Pantheon

Is it worth entering the Pantheon?

Yes. From outside, you see the portico; the 43.3-metre dome and open oculus are only understood from inside, along with the tombs of Raphael and the kings of Italy.

The height to the oculus and the internal diameter are the same, 43.3 metres. It is still the largest unreinforced concrete dome in the world. From below, you feel it before you understand it.

From outside, there is the portico, with the columns from Egypt and Agrippa’s inscription. It is beautiful, but it is the entrance, not the visit. This is why the comparison below lists the tours that enter first, and at the end the only one that stays on the street.

What guided tours of the Pantheon are there?

On GetYourGuide, tours with a guide and ticket range from $22 to $55, from 40 minutes to an hour and a half inside and around the Pantheon.

All have free cancellation up to 24 hours before. Starting prices in USD, read on the cards in October 2026:

Is a guided tour or an audio guide better for the Pantheon?

It depends on how you like to visit. The live guide answers questions and decides the route; the audio guide or app, from $8, lets you go at your own pace.

The two $8 options are the ticket with audio guide, with 31,811 reviews, and the ticket with app, which uses your phone and requires your earphones. Inside the Pantheon, the basilica welcome desk offers audio guides and guided tours in exchange for a suggested donation.

How long does a guided tour of the Pantheon last?

How large are the groups in the Pantheon tours?

The regulations allow guided groups of up to 25 people plus the guide. For groups over 6 people, headsets are required.

The listings add their own limits. The small group includes earphones to hear the guide from 6 participants upwards. The archaeologist works in a semi-private format. The sunset walk, which stays outside, stops at 15 people.

Where are the meeting points for the Pantheon tours?

• Piazza Capranica: the small group (10 minutes before) and the Basilica of Neptune (15 minutes before).
• The fountain in front of the Pantheon: the small group with exclusive access, yellow sign.

Which Pantheon tours offer something extra?

Three cards go beyond the rotunda: the ruins of the Basilica of Neptune, an option with exclusive access, and an evening with a concert after closing.

The tour with the Basilica of Neptune brings a guide among the Roman ruins behind the Pantheon, with projections, and then inside the rotunda. The small group with exclusive access offers, only with the special option, the Basilica of Neptune areas and entry through a door at the back. The Pantheon after closing is different from all others: no live guide, an audio guide, then Bach and Mozart played under the dome.

What do you need for a guided tour of the Pantheon?

An ID, covered shoulders and knees, and a few minutes early at the meeting point.

The most reviewed guided tour requires the full official name of each participant at booking. In the small group, those who arrive late lose the tour and entry, with no refund. Shorts, short skirts, and tank tops appear among the items not allowed in almost all listings: the Pantheon is a church. The rest is in visit tips.
