The other side of Rome - Having watched the Instagram videos for years it was a must! Away from the glitz and glamour of romes historic monuments we tried the ‘Dark Side’ of Rome tour. It was so educational and interactive we loved it! It’s a side of Rome you’d never normally experience.

A Brilliantly Atmospheric Tour with LVG - I’d been wanting to join a tour with LVG ever since I discovered them back in 2022, and they absolutely did not disappoint. Federica led the Dark Side of Rome tour, which was entertaining, exciting, and full of laughter and great conversation with the whole group. We visited places I’d never have thought to explore on my own, seeing the city from a completely different perspective. The mix of history, ghost stories, and atmospheric sights made for a truly memorable evening. It felt especially fitting to see the tribute to Giordano Bruno at Campo de' Fiori - throughout the tour, I kept thinking of his words: "Se non è vero, è molto ben trovato." Even if the stories weren’t all true, they were damn good fabrications! A wonderfully engaging experience—I’d do it again in a heartbeat.

The best tours in Rome - Interesting stories on this tour! You will visit places you don't normally see, and places that are familiar will be seen through a completely different perspective after this tour. The guide, Federica, is very attentive and enthusiastic about Roman history. Even the history nerds in our group have gained new insights!

Something different - Very engaging guide. Different perspective on some Roman history. The Church crypt and the Order provided a very necessary service for Ancient Rome.

wonderfully spooky tour - We were a small, friendly group, and despite the rather serious topic, we had a lot of fun and laughed a lot. Perhaps we're being haunted by ghosts now, but that certainly has nothing to do with Federica's skills as a tour guide. It was a truly wonderful experience.

Do this tour! - Stories are really dark and give you creeps! Walk is amazing and you have a new view on things you've seen at daylight! Knocking on closed church door was great experience!
