About this tour

Step into the stories of emperors, ambition, and upheaval on this Rome Colosseum and Imperial Forum tour. Over 150 minutes, a licensed guide leads you through the historic heart of the Eternal City, beginning near the Colosseum, the monumental amphitheater that became a symbol of Roman power.

The walk also takes in Piazza Venezia and the Vittorio Emanuele monument before reaching Capitoline Hill, a grand square designed by Michelangelo.

How this score is calculated

This score is based on one provider. Viator rates it 4.76 from 192 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 6.7.
