Choose a private 3-hour Rome tour of the Colosseum or Vatican, with an expert guide and tickets to the selected landmarks.

About this tour

Explore Rome’s defining landmarks with a private guide who brings their history to life. Choose a 3-hour walk through the Colosseum, Roman Forum, and Palatine Hill, or a Vatican visit covering the Vatican Museums, Sistine Chapel, and St. Peter’s Basilica. Tickets are included for the selected option.

On the Colosseum route, walk among ancient ruins as your guide shares stories of the Roman Empire. The Vatican option leads through its vast museum collections and celebrated chapel, with an expert guide to help make sense of the art and history. Both experiences offer a private walking tour for a more intimate visit. The Vatican route may not include St. Peter’s Basilica if it is closed or unavailable; in that case, the tour continues in the museums and Sistine Chapel.

This Rome private guided walking tour meets at Via del Colosseo 31 for the Colosseum option. Bring valid ID that matches the name on your ticket, and arrive a few minutes early. Choose the landmark that calls to you and discover Rome with a knowledgeable local guide.

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.
