Audio guide at the Pantheon

Sue_C, Apr 2024

The audio was a great way to enjoy the Pantheon. Our ticket was to skip the line, but there was no Skip the Line option. This was okay since it wasn’t too crowded and the regular line went fast.

AVOID LONG LINES

Mari_W, Apr 2024

Glad we avoided the long lines to enter. Allow adequate time to find the small location where you exchange the voucher to the ticket. Audio tour is sufficient.

Pantheon Was Great!

Allison_R, Apr 2024

The Pantheon was fantastic! It was nice having the audio guide! However, the fast track ticket still requires you to wait in line for a while before you even get in.

Great way to see Pantheon

Whitney_h, Apr 2024

Beautiful tour, easy to use with the audioguides! The only reason it’s not 5 star is because the ticket pickup is at a different location about a half mile away. The walk isn’t bad but if you have problems walking it may be an issue.

Easy and enjoyable

Helen_B, Apr 2024

Easy experience. Brought tickets online and then collected them, girl there was helpful. Went back to Pantheon and enjoyed guide. Remember you need something to secure the headset.

‘Fast track’ is a con

Matthew_S, Apr 2024

We purchased ‘fast track’ tickets to visit the Pantheon at 1pm. Arrived around 12:30 and found that the ‘fast track’ queue was about three times the length of the standard queue. After queuing for an hour for our 1pm ‘fast track’ visit, we had to give up. Really useless organisation and the tickets are completely pointless.

Ticket did not work had...

James_B, Apr 2024

Ticket did not work had to purchase another at the entrance. Did not need the audio guide. It did help skip the line.

A definite must do when in Rome.

Martin_F, Apr 2024

The pantheon like Saint Peters basicilla is awe inspiring a must when in Rome and the audio guide is very much a must when viewing the pantheon. Definitely a highlight.

it's very round

Nick_B, Apr 2024

clear audio guide - nice to see - buy tickets on line to avoid queues although ticket pick up is a distance from the Pantheon so plan ahead,

Pantheon

Peter_S, Apr 2024

The tour was not needed. There was no continuity and it was poorly organized. The signs are too lengthy in explaining the venue. It’s a beautiful venue with a nice history but not explained well.

Good tour (self-guided)

Dmitriy_G, Apr 2024

Great tour (self-guided). You can go at your own pace. The audio devices are a little quiet but otherwise a good experience.

Molto benne

Paul_M, Apr 2024

Only booked the same afternoon Ticket pickup and entrance was very easy and organised. Skip the line was a great part of our holiday and we would highly recommend.

The Pantheon

Angie_L, Apr 2024

What a beautiful building! The history and grandeur is breathtaking! And while there was a large crowd inside, you didn’t feel crowded as it is more spacious than it appears. Very fascinating that Rafael was buried there as well. Definite must for anyone visiting Rome.

Good way to rest after a walking tour.

Jennifer_M, Apr 2024

We took this audio tour after a 3 hour guided walking tour of the Colosseum and Roman Forum and it was a nice reprieve to be able to sit and listen to the commentary and rest up. Stunning building.

Fast access to the Pantheon.

Eivind_F, Apr 2024

Fast entry to the Pantheon with an easy to use audioguide. The Pantheon in itself is stunning and a must visit in Rome.

The Pantheon is amazing.

David_A, Apr 2024

Pantheon is a highlight of any trip to the sights of Rome. I have been many times. I always come back. Note that you must pick up the entry tickets from Viator at a museum 8 minutes walk from the Pantheon. Allow time for this.

Bad audio tour

Mary_P, Apr 2024

The audio tour was useless. Playing the description of station#12 was actually describing #5. The sequence was not at all logical. We gave up trying to find the right descriptions.

Awe inspiring

Mateusz_M, Apr 2024

This building is more than I could have imagined. The architecture, sculptures and paintings from different eras had my jaw dropping constantly.

A must visit when going to Rome

Martha_G, Apr 2024

A beautiful place to visit. Incredible architecture and audio tour is well done. The tour gives you a great understanding of the Pantheon

Great audio guide and no line!

Justin_C, Apr 2024

Easy access to the Pantheon and walked right in with no line. Also, the audio guide was very helpful. Highly recommend!
