About this tour

Discover two of Rome’s most storied neighborhoods on a guided walk through Trastevere and the old Jewish Ghetto. This Rome Jewish Ghetto and Trastevere walking tour pairs lively piazzas, quiet lanes, and riverside landmarks with the insight of a private professional guide.

Begin in Trastevere at Piazza Trilussa, then visit Santa Maria in Trastevere, one of the city’s few remaining Byzantine churches. Follow the neighborhood’s narrow streets to Tiber Island, known for its hospitals and basilicas, before crossing the river into the Jewish Ghetto. There, explore the Portico of Octavia, once home to an ancient market, and wander the small streets to the Turtle Fountain, a Baroque landmark by Gian Lorenzo Bernini. Private chauffeur transportation is provided for pickup and drop-off, alongside the walking tour.

Take in the layers of Rome’s history at an unhurried pace, from church mosaics to the old market district. Book this Rome Jewish Ghetto and Trastevere walking tour to experience the character and landmarks of both neighborhoods with a private guide.

How this score is calculated

This score is based on one provider. Viator rates it 4.93 from 15 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 7.5. Top 22% in Rome means it ranks in the top 22% of tours in Rome by this score.
