Private Pantheon Tour with the Savoy Tombs and Piazza della Minerva
The tour starts in front of the Pantheon at set times through the day, and the group is capped so the guide is yours alone. It is the third most visited site in Rome, which is exactly why a quiet visit is worth arranging rather than hoping for. The introduction happens outside, in the square, before going in on tickets already reserved in your name. Inside, the guide covers the structure, what the building was originally for, the myths attached to it, the emperors, and the Savoy tombs: the royal house of a country that was only unified in the nineteenth century, buried in a temple from the second. The Pantheon is the temple of all the gods, and afterwards everything else in this quarter is a short walk away. The guide is happy to point you at what is worth the walk and what is not.

Pantheon
The Pantheon is the third most visited site in Rome, which makes a calm, unhurried visit worth arranging. This semi-private tour runs morning, midday or afternoon, whichever you choose, with an official or native-speaking guide. The myths and beliefs of the ancient Romans come first, along with the layers of history stacked on this spot, and then you go into the best preserved Roman temple in the world. Expect a certain amount of dry humour along the way.
Piazza Della Rotonda
The square in front of the Pantheon holds a generous fountain by Giacomo Della Porta with an ancient obelisk raised over it, topped with a cross. Fountains like this one were built to celebrate water coming back to Rome after nearly a thousand years without a working aqueduct.
Piazza della Minerva
Palazzo Spadolini on this square was once the tribunal that tried heretics, where women were prosecuted for witchcraft and where Galileo was made to abjure. Across from it stands the only church in Rome carrying a pagan name: Santa Maria sopra Minerva, raised over the ground of a temple to the goddess Isis.
