Rome by night - We were so interested in all the hidden stories. Our leader was wonderful. Our interests were so keen after that we returned next day to see the night sites by daylight. Many thx.

Great evening tour of less-public aspects of Rome history - Alberto was right on time and lead a very interesting tour. It covered some of the less-visible side Roman history … the burning heretic, the mass poisoner, the horrific prison, and more. Cool stuff!

Rome at night: Exciting, mysterious and absolutely recommendable! - We did the night tour of Rome around legends and crime stories – and it was a real highlight of our stay! 🌙✨ The mixture of historical facts, exciting anecdotes and dark narratives showed the city once again from a completely different side. It was especially nice that our guide was not only super competent, but also incredibly nice and engaging – you literally hung on his lips. A little tip for future participants: It’s best to wait a little earlier at the church’s stairs – the tour guide is not so easy to spot. Overall, an absolutely recommendable tour for anyone who wants to experience Rome away from the classic sights!

Fun night out - Interesting tour, and a way to see Rome at night feeling a little more secure. Our guide Semi was terrific. Informative and energetic. Also, he started the tour walking very briskly, and when I asked him to modify his pace for older folks in our group, he was very accommodating. Excellent guide for the tour.
