About this tour

Follow the stories of emperors and gladiators on a 90-minute walk through ancient Rome. Starting at the Campidoglio, hear the legends of Romulus and Remus and see the Colossus of Constantine before taking in views of the Roman Forum. Along the way, your Spanish-speaking guide brings the city’s landmarks to life, from the site associated with Mark Antony’s speech after Caesar’s death to the Mamertine Prison, Trajan’s Markets, and the forums of Julius Caesar and Nerva. Continue past the Basilica of Maxentius and the base of Nero’s colossal statue, then reach the Ludus Magnus, the gladiators’ training school. The route ends at a viewpoint above the tunnel that once carried fighters toward the Colosseum arena, offering a glimpse of the amphitheater’s hidden workings. This Rome Imperial Forums and Gladiator Trail visits monuments from the outside, so no entry tickets are needed.

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.
