Visit the Campo de’ Fiori, where the notorious Pope Alexander Borgia met his lovers, and where some of Rome’s most elegant escorts lived in luxury. Stop to explore the Theater of Pompey, and learn about Roman seduction techniques from 2,000 years ago. Find out how the Romans kissed, when they married, and about the erotic books they read in private.

Continue to Piazza Navona, where you talk about Roman dowries and the lives of unmarried women, then walk through the Pantheon and the church of Santa Maria Sopra Minerva as you hear historic gossip about the painter Raphael’s romantic entanglements.

This walking tour concludes at Piazza Navona, whose marble fountains and elegant cafés make it the perfect place to kick off a romantic night in Rome.

Worth the time -bellisimo
Emily_L, Dec 2021
Claudia knew so many great juicy stories about Ancient Rome. My favorite was the brothel door. Definitely a comfortable and private way to learn about Roma and some wild stories
A Hidden Gem
Matthew_H, Oct 2021
We could not recommend Claudia’s “Love and Sex History Tour” more highly. This was the real hidden gem of our trip and a wonderful experience as a couple. Claudia knows the city inside and out, and is passionate about her subject. A historic journey through winding streets and down stairways, listening to stories of intrigue and desire. What a wonderful way to explore Rome and learn secrets of the city off the tourist trail.
Very nice
