Amazing experience - Bryan was fantastic. The tour was amazing and went round some awesome sights. Just be aware it isn’t the easiest for wheelchair users due to some of the cobbles. However, Bryan was very patient. He was a good laugh and shared some amazing stories

Amazing tour of the darker side of Rome - We took this tour our first night in Rome and it did not disappoint! Our guide, Brian was fantastic and was a great story teller. We got to see places and hear stories you wouldn’t get on a normal history tour. Worth every penny!

Creepy and crazy - My 18 y/o daughter and I learned quite a bit and had fun on this tour. My daughter was particularly interested since she is studying criminology. I was very intrigued by how well first our guide was in the history that she presented with terrific storytelling flair. Unfortunately, we had a rainy night, so the tour only lasted about an hour. Perhaps the weather added to the eeriness! This was definitely a fun way to learn about some of the backside of Roman history.
