Explore Trajan’s Markets and the Museum of the Imperial Fora on a guided 90-minute journey into ancient Roman life.

About this tour

Step into the bustle of ancient Rome at Trajan’s Markets, a remarkable complex of arches and shopfronts that offers a glimpse into daily life nearly 2,000 years ago. On this 90-minute guided visit, explore the site with an expert guide and hear the stories behind its architecture and role in the imperial city.

Continue to the Museum of the Imperial Fora, where artifacts and engaging accounts bring Rome’s history to life. Admission to both the markets and museum is included, along with headsets to help you hear the guide clearly. The route involves moderate walking over uneven surfaces and steps, so comfortable shoes are a good choice. The museum has wheelchair access on three floors; its lower two floors are not accessible by wheelchair.

Meet in front of Trajan’s Column, opposite Santa Maria di Loreto, and look for the yellow Touriks sign. Discover Rome’s ancient commercial heart on this Trajan’s Markets tour and see the city’s past come into focus.

How this score is calculated

This score is based on one provider. Viator rates it 4.83 from 6 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 7.1.
