Continue to Palatine Hill, traditionally known as Rome’s birthplace, for views toward the Circus Maximus. Then walk through the Roman Forum, once the political, commercial, and religious center of the empire. The small group is limited to 10 guests, making it easier to hear your guide along the way.

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.
