About this tour

This Rome Walking Tour with Archaeologist moves at a relaxed pace in a small group, with stories and context bringing the city’s landmarks to life.

For a quieter perspective, a route near the Pyramid explores the Aurelian Walls, Aventine Hill, Circus Maximus, and the Mouth of Truth. Departure times and meeting points vary by route and day. No sites requiring a ticket are entered, so you can enjoy the stories and streets without a monument admission stop.

How this score is calculated

This score is based on one provider. Viator rates it 5.00 from 21 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 8.0. Top 12% in Rome means it ranks in the top 12% of tours in Rome by this score.
