About this tour

With a professional driver sharing live commentary through a headset, you’ll pass the Colosseum, Circus Maximus, Palatine Hill, and Tiber Island, then explore historic streets around the Jewish Ghetto, Piazza Navona, the Pantheon, and Piazza Venezia.

The route also brings you to the Trevi Fountain, where a skip-the-line ticket and guided visit reveal its inner area. Pause at the Orange Garden and Aventine Hill, then take in the monumental Fontana dell’Acqua Paola and panoramic views from Gianicolo Terrace. Italian gelato adds a sweet break along the way. At stops, you can swap seats to experience both the sidecar and the spot behind the driver.

How this score is calculated

This score is based on one provider. Viator rates it 5.00 from 26 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 8.2. Top 11% in Rome means it ranks in the top 11% of tours in Rome by this score.
