About this tour

Explore Rome’s Jewish Ghetto, a neighborhood shaped by centuries of history and faith, on a private walking tour with a licensed expert guide. The 3-hour route takes you past the ruins of the Theater of Marcellus and the Portico of Octavia, then through Via del Portico di Ottavia, Piazza delle Cinque Scole, Piazza Giudea, and the lanes and squares around Piazza Mattei. Along the way, discover the area’s historic landmarks and the former Jewish schools. The Rome Jewish Ghetto and Great Synagogue tour also includes admission to the Jewish Museum and Great Synagogue, where an internal guide leads the visit inside the synagogue. An audio guide is provided for the museum. The experience is designed for your group alone, with customization available by request when booking. The museum and synagogue close on Saturdays and Jewish holidays; on those dates, the full tour takes place in the Ghetto instead, with no refund due. Meet your guide at Teatro Marcello 15 minutes early, and leave large bags behind. Follow the neighborhood’s stories from ancient ruins to its enduring cultural landmarks on this Rome Jewish Ghetto and Great Synagogue tour.

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.
