About this tour

The entrance ticket and reservation fee are included, along with a licensed guide speaking your language. Meet your coordinator, identifiable by a purple uniform, before setting out.

How this score is calculated

This score is based on one provider. Viator rates it 4.57 from 7 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 6.9.
