About this tour
Discover a more intimate side of Rome on a small-group walking tour through the Pantheon, Piazza Navona, and the city center’s hidden corners. With a local guide and no more than 12 guests, you can take in the stories and details that larger tours often pass by.

How this score is calculated
This score is based on one provider. Viator rates it 4.98 from 91 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 8.8. Top 5% in Rome means it ranks in the top 5% of tours in Rome by this score.
