Another side of Rome! - We really enjoyed this tour. It was a fascinating way to see Rome at night while hearing stories of murders, betrayals, and the darker corners of the city’s history. Our guide had a high level of knowledge, having studied Ancient Rome at university, and it showed. He mixed historical facts with ghost stories in a way that kept the walk engaging without feeling overdone, bringing depth and context to each stop. If you’re looking for something different from the usual daytime tours, this is a great way to experience Rome’s streets after dark with fresh stories and insights. Highly recommended.
