Nice visit- able to see lesser known site
Good experience. Get to see lesser known site and there is access to part of the forum. We did not take the elevator

Difficult voucher system
I actually cancelled the reservation because I could not locate the place to turn in the vouchers and obtain the tickets. The system is difficult. In order to take the excursion I would have to go in person to two different locations and the instructions were NOT clear about the locations of each. Why can’t you send the actual tickets instead of a voucher that needs to be redeemed in a spot that can’t be easily located???
Response from the operator: Dear Customer Thank you for the valuable feedback. We really appreciate you taking the time to send us your feedback, it is an inspiration for us to improve. We are confident that your next experience with Touristation will be a positive one!

Impressive Trajan ruins
Great self guided experience which works well with a visit to the nearby Colosseum. Trajan’s column is very impressive and market interesting also
via Viator
Hidden must visit gem!
Struggled a bit to find the entrance but this is a hidden gem, walking through a ‘shopping centre’ that’s nearly 2000 years old is mind blowing, much less crowded than the well known sites, this is an absolute must!!
via Tripadvisor
Trajan’s market was very interesting
Tip - be prepared to stand in the queue to get your voucher. We did not know and ended up walking to Trajan’s market after we got our voucher alone. There is a movie to the left of the queue that you will watch first. No one was there to explain what we were supposed to do. I hope this helps others understand.

Why this scores 54
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Rome: Trajan's Market Experience with Elevator Option: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Rome.
How much does Rome: Trajan's Market Experience with Elevator Option cost?
+
Prices start at $27 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Rome usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Rome: Trajan's Market Experience with Elevator Option take?
+
Plan for about 1 hour from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Rome is not rushed.
Is Rome: Trajan's Market Experience with Elevator Option worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 54 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4/5 across 27 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Rome, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Rome: Trajan's Market Experience with Elevator Option?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Rome: Trajan's Market Experience with Elevator Option suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 1-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Rome: Trajan's Market Experience with Elevator Option?
+
Around 9 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Rome can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Rome and add a light layer if any part of the 1-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Rome: Trajan's Market Experience with Elevator Option start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Rome within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Rome?
+
Rome runs on skip-the-line access. The Colosseum underground, the Vatican before opening, and the catacombs south of the walls all require a licensed operator, and the price gap between the good ones and the rest is smaller than you would expect. We rank by guide credentials, group size and how reliably the promised access actually materialises. On Outty we rank every Rome experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Rome Pasta and Tiramisu Class: Ravioli, Fettuccine & Fine Wine 5*, Pasta Making & Wine Tasting with Dinner in Frascati from Rome, Rome: Pizza & Tiramisu or Gelato Class with Flowing Fine Wine 5*. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Rome?
+
April, May, September and October. August is hot and half the city is shut. Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Rome?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
