Pantheon Combo Tour: Ape Calessino Ride and Pantheon Admission with Audio Guide
A six-hour journey through Rome's most iconic landmarks, from the Gianicolo to the greatest temple of antiquity
The Pantheon Combo Tour brings together a scenic Ape Calessino ride across Rome's historic hills and neighborhoods with skip-the-line access and a digital audio guide to one of the world's most intact ancient monuments. It is a structured, comfortable, and deeply informative way to experience the Eternal City in a single outing.
Departing from Piazza della Repubblica, the tour covers a broad arc of Rome's most celebrated locations — the Quirinal Palace, Trevi Fountain, the Circus Maximus, Aventine Hill, and the Orange Garden — before crossing into Trastevere and climbing to the Gianicolo. The route is designed to give travelers both a physical sense of the city's topography and its layered history.
The Ape Calessino portion ends at the Pantheon, where guests transition from the open-air vehicle to the interior of a monument that has stood virtually unchanged for nearly two thousand years. The digital audio guide, available in eight languages and compatible with both Android and iOS, narrates the full history of the building at each visitor's own pace.
A stop at a local bar frequented by Romans — not a tourist-oriented venue — is included mid-tour. This break allows guests to sample typical Roman food and drink, use facilities, and absorb the rhythm of daily life in the city before continuing onward.
Tour Highlights
Ride through Rome's historic districts aboard a red Ape Calessino, covering Trastevere, the Gianicolo, and the Aventine Hill in a single loop.
Pantheon admission ticket included, with a digital audio guide available in Italian, English, Spanish, French, German, Chinese, Portuguese, and Polish.
Visit the Garden of Orange Trees on the Aventine Hill, one of Rome's lesser-known green spaces with a panoramic view over the city.
Pass by the Trevi Fountain and the Fontanone on the Gianicolo, two of Rome's most celebrated water features, at street level from the vehicle.
A scheduled stop at a local Roman bar provides an authentic food and drink break away from tourist-heavy areas.
The Gianicolo viewpoint, where the monument to Giuseppe Garibaldi stands, offers one of the broadest panoramas of Rome's rooftops and domes.
The route also passes by the Colosseum and Imperial Forum from outside, along with Piazza Venezia, the Vittoriano, and Campidoglio Hill.
Itinerary Overview
The tour departs from in front of Hotel Naiadi at Piazza della Repubblica. The Ape Calessino heads toward the Quirinal Palace, the official residence of the Italian President, and then to the Trevi Fountain, Rome's largest and most visited baroque fountain.
The route continues past the Vittoriano monument, Palazzo Venezia, and the Campidoglio Hill designed by Michelangelo. A pass by the Colosseum and the Imperial Forum gives travelers an exterior view of Rome's ancient core.
The vehicle descends to the Circus Maximus, the ancient chariot-racing venue, before climbing the Aventine Hill to the Garden of Orange Trees. A local bar stop is included in this portion of the tour.
The route crosses through Trastevere, Rome's medieval riverside district, before ascending to the Fontanone and the Gianicolo Hill. The monument to Giuseppe Garibaldi marks the highest point of this scenic section.
The Ape Calessino portion concludes in the Pantheon area. Guests enter the monument using the included admission ticket and follow the digital audio guide through its history — from its original construction under Agrippa to Hadrian's reconstruction and Raphael's burial inside.
