About this tour

Continue to St. Paul Outside the Walls, built over the tomb of the Apostle Paul, before exploring St. Peter in Chains, home to Michelangelo’s striking sculpture of Moses. The guided visits bring the sites’ history, architecture, and religious significance into focus, while private transport makes it easy to see them across the city.

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.
