Unknown with horror factor, presented sympathetically - Exciting, funny and creepy... Since then, I have always looked around Roma in the evening to see if there isn't a ghost doing his mischief somewhere. Leadership was very entertaining. Great and very friendly management... Thanks for the great time!

Brilliant Tour - W had a great evening with Federica. She was informative and friendly, full of interesting facts about the people, palaces and streets of Rome. I would highly recommend this tour.

Best tours hands down! - This tour and the hidden gems tour with Frederica was fantastic! So much interesting and ( spooky!) history wonderfully presented by a guide who is clearly very passionate about Rome. Frederica’s excellent story telling really made us feel immersed in the rich history of Rome with some good humor thrown in. Very fun. My only regret is we booked all the tours - definitely the next time we return!

Exciting way to spend your evenign in Rome away from tourist crowds - This was one of the best experiences I had in Rome. Federica is an excellent story teller, and shares hidden secrets of Rome, the things you might never see and find out by yourself. The tour is very entertaining, exciting, not tiring at all. Highly recommend!

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.
