About this tour

Spend two days exploring Rome’s ancient landmarks and Vatican treasures with a private guide. This Rome sightseeing tour pairs the city’s celebrated monuments with the stories that bring them to life.

Visit the Colosseum inside and out, then explore the Roman Forum. Along the way, admire the Trevi Fountain, Piazza Navona, Il Vittoriano, Piazza Venezia, and the Pantheon. On Day 2, meet at the Vatican Museums entrance on Viale Vaticano and explore the galleries with a guide. The itinerary also includes the Sistine Chapel and St. Peter’s Basilica when they are accessible. A professional art historian guide adds context to the art and architecture, while the private format keeps the experience focused on your group.

Vatican sites can close at short notice, so an alternative inside the museums may be offered if access changes. Book this Rome sightseeing tour to make the most of two days among the city’s enduring highlights.

How this score is calculated

This score is based on one provider. Viator rates it 4.88 from 24 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 7.4. Top 28% in Rome means it ranks in the top 28% of tours in Rome by this score.
