About this tour

Explore Rome’s Christian heritage on a private, half-day journey through basilicas, sacred relics, and ancient burial chambers. This Rome Christian Sites Private Tour follows the story of the martyrs who helped Christianity take root in the city, through the era of Emperor Constantine.

How this score is calculated

This tour has no TourTruth score yet: Viator doesn't show a usable rating for it. It gets a score as soon as a provider lists one.

How the score works
  • Each provider rating is turned into a percentile: the share of that provider's ratings it beats, weighted by review counts.
  • Listings on different providers are combined in proportion to their review counts.
  • Tours with few reviews are pulled toward the average until more reviews come in, so a handful of perfect reviews can't top the list.
  • The result is shown from 0 to 10. Tours without a usable provider rating are not scored.
