Baroque treasures. Starting from Piazza Navona, with the famous Fountain
of the Four Rivers by Bernini, you’ll proceed to see the Pantheon with its

more than just a fascinating tour, you’ll enjoy an interactive service with a
passionate tour guide who will not only animate the history of the
magnificent artwork, but will cater your tour experience to your personal
