Jessica is a wonderful tour guide - Jessica was a great tour guide. She is an archeologist and her passion for the Pantheon - its history, how it was built, the mathematics and astronomy that influenced the design - was contagious. Highly recommend her as a tour guide for this amazing location. How incredible to stand in a building nearly 2,000 years old.
