Fantastic night tour of Rome - Extremely fascinating tour, one of the best that we did while visiting. Lots of history and tales of the darker side of Rome. Excellent tour guide, very friendly and took an interest in who we were and where we were from. Lots of interesting stories and was welcoming of any questions we had

An unparalleled, fascinating adventure! - This has been my most favorite experience during my stay in Rome so far! Thought I had signed up for a night bus tour, but turned out to be pleasantly surprised with this totally awesome and soooo worth it walking night tour. My husband and I learned so much about ancient Rome. The stories were so wild, creepy and out there! Just loved everything about this experience. It was so nice to connect with other world travelers. Out tour guide was fantastic! She was so articulate and funny! I'm not sure if I will find something else do here in Rome that will top the experience I had on the night walking tour.

Rome Nighttime Walking Tour - We imagined hearing more dramatic and interesting myths and legends. We had heard parts of almost all of the stories during our daytime walking tour, and we were disappointed that this tour was not filled with some mystery and intriguing storytelling. We appreciate our guide being very friendly and answering questions about daily life in Rome.

Ghost stories… no fear - Miriam, the tour host, very nice and helpful.... But I didn't find the stories particularly fascinating, Perhaps the method of presentation was devoid of theatricality and passion

Not worth it - When you pay a tour with that price you expect at least in a city like Rome to have headphones or something for the experience to be good. The tour was Worst that we hoped and we do not recommend it.
