About this tour

Step into the ancient center of Rome on a private guided tour of Trajan’s Market, Trajan’s Column, and the Imperial Forums. Over 150 minutes, explore the remains of a city that shaped an empire, with a licensed guide bringing its history into focus.

Begin at Trajan’s Market, often described as an early shopping center, then look up at the 29-meter column built to honor Emperor Trajan’s victory over Romania. Its carved frieze winds around the stone, telling stories of battle.

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.
