A great way to finish the day! - This was one of THE BEST experiences on our trip through Italy! Eni, our guide, was an exceptional host and kept us entertained the whole time. The drinks and food were great and the subject matter was fascinating. This is a great way to learn about a much more different side of the history of Rome. After a day of touring the Colosseum and other areas of Rome, this was the perfect way to cap off the night!

Superb! - Storia dell’amore nell’antica Roma by Roman Guides is so much more than a typical tour – it’s an engaging and beautifully curated experience that dives into the romantic, poetic, and even scandalous side of ancient Roman life. The guide weaves together history, literature, and lesser-known anecdotes in a way that’s both informative and entertaining. Perfect for couples, history lovers, or anyone looking to discover Rome from a more intimate and unexpected perspective. Well organized, thoughtfully delivered, and truly memorable. Highly recommended!

5 stars, two thumbs up, and one pair of very sore feet. Totally recommend it!! - Rome—where the ruins are majestic, the pigeons have attitude, and every corner feels like it’s been kissed by the gods (or at least a Vespa). This tour felt like stepping into a living museum and our guide, Eni, a walking encyclopedia, brought history to life with charm, wit, and an infectious passion for the city. This tour will sweep you off your feet and leave your heart somewhere between the Spanish Steps and a gelato stand.

Exceptional tour and guide, highly recommended! - From the moment we met Eni (the guide), we knew we were in for a fantastic tour :) His knowledge of Roman history and culture was impressive, but even more impressive was his ability to share it in such an engaging and entertaining way. He not only answered all our questions but also went out of his way to provide fascinating insights and anecdotes that made the tour truly special. Eni was genuinely passionate about the tour he offered, and made us feel like we were learning from a friend rather than just a tour guide. We had lots of fun and wholeheartedly recommend this tour to anyone seeking an exceptional and unforgettable experience.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Absolutely Unique and Fun Experience! - Drunken History Rome: Sex & Love in Ancient Rome was unlike any other tour I've ever taken! From the start, the vibe was relaxed, engaging, and hilarious. Our guide brought ancient history to life with wild stories, humor, and just the right amount of irreverence. The mix of wine, laughs, and scandalous tales from Roman times made the experience feel more like an evening out with friends than a traditional tour. We explored beautiful corners of the city while diving into themes like passion, power, and the crazy customs of ancient Rome. Highly recommended if you're looking for something different, fun, and memorable. Great for solo travelers, couples, or groups of friends who want to see a cheekier side of Rome!
