About this tour

Step into the heart of ancient Rome on a private tour of Trajan's Market and the Imperial Forums, where monumental ruins reveal the city's political and commercial life. With a licensed guide and a Forum Pass for access to the archaeological sites, explore these landmarks at a personal pace.

Begin at Trajan's Market, often described as an early shopping center, and take in the remarkably preserved remains. Nearby, Trajan's Column rises 29 meters, its carved frieze telling stories of the emperor's military campaigns.

At the Forum of Augustus, see the remains of the Temple of Mars Ultor, built by Rome's first emperor.

How this score is calculated

This score is based on one provider. Viator rates it 5.00 from 3 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 7.3. Top 35% in Rome means it ranks in the top 35% of tours in Rome by this score.
