What to expect
Your archaeologist meets your group and heads straight into the Pantheon, where you'll spend time examining its remarkable dome and interior proportions. They'll walk you through how Roman engineers solved specific problems with materials and geometry. After the Pantheon, you'll explore the surrounding area—expect narrow streets, local piazzas, and buildings that reveal different chapters of Rome's development. The pace is measured; this isn't a rushed tick-box tour. You're looking closely at a few places rather than sprinting past many.
