About this tour

Explore Rome’s historic Jewish Ghetto on a private walking tour led by a local expert. This neighborhood, shaped by the Tiber and the streets near Piazza Venezia, offers a vivid look at the city’s Jewish history and culture. Your Rome Jewish Ghetto and Great Synagogue walking tour passes the ruins of the Theater of Marcellus and the Portico of Octavia, once home to an ancient fish market. Continue along Via del Portico d’Ottavia and through Piazza delle Cinque Scole, Piazza Giudea, Vicolo della Reginella, and Piazza Mattei, where the Turtle Fountain adds a memorable pause. The route also visits Piazza Margana and Piazza in Campitelli. Admission to the Jewish Museum and Great Synagogue is included, with an internal Jewish guide for that visit, alongside your licensed expert guide. The tour lasts 3 hours and is private, so only your group takes part; customization can be requested when booking. The museum and synagogue are closed on Saturdays and Jewish holidays. On those days, the full tour takes place in the Ghetto instead, with no refund. Meet your guide at Teatro Marcello 15 minutes early, then discover the stories and landmarks of this remarkable Roman neighborhood on a Rome Jewish Ghetto and Great Synagogue walking 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.
