Explore Rome’s landmark Christian basilicas and ancient catacombs on a private six-hour drive with hotel pickup and an English-speaking driver.

About this tour

Discover Rome’s Christian heritage on a private six-hour drive with an English-speaking local driver. Starting and ending at your hotel, this Rome Christian Sites Private Tour takes you to four landmark basilicas: St. Mary Major, St. John Lateran, St. Paul Outside the Walls, and Holy Cross in Jerusalem. Along the way, hear commentary about the churches, their stories, and their relics from the comfort of an air-conditioned private vehicle. You’ll also travel to the ancient Catacombs, an early Christian burial site. At each stop, explore independently: your driver does not enter the sites and is not a licensed guide, so commentary is provided from inside the vehicle. The order of stops may vary, and Sunday church access can be restricted. With hotel pickup and drop-off and a vehicle reserved for your party, the Rome Christian Sites Private Tour offers a convenient way to connect the city’s sacred landmarks in one day. Set out ready to explore Rome’s history at your own pace.

How this score is calculated

This score is based on one provider. Viator rates it 4.92 from 26 reviews. We place that rating among all Viator ratings and weight it by its review count. If the tour is found on another provider later, both ratings are combined.

How the score works and rating distribution in Rome
  • 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: this tour scores 7.7. Top 19% in Rome means it ranks in the top 19% of tours in Rome by this score.
