The history of Rome comes alive on twilight tour - We had a great time on our twilight walking tour of Rome with Marta as our guide. Starting at 8pm, it was a little cooler and with a small group it was just what we were after - especially after very hot days in the sun. Marta was incredibly knowledgeable about the city's rich history and shared so many fascinating stories and fun facts that brought the ancient sites to life. There were also lots of opportunities to take photos - highly recommend taking a tour with Marta!

Incredible walking tour - Cheers to an excellent tour and our amazing guide Bryan. What a friendly, engaging, funny and knowledgeable man! We felt comfortable from the very start of the tour. Lots of walking so be prepared. But the night sights were incredible! Bryan even played photographer for us at many spots.

Interesting evening activity - The main attrractions of the tour were preented with passion and nice anectodes. The guide was very prepared. It's a city the lack of a speaker and sometimes the words were not perfectly hearable.
