The best tour in Rome!
Nicholas_G, May 2022
This tour was amazing! Our guide made the experience for us. He was very welcoming and knowledgable. I recommend this tour for solo travellers and groups alike. Great way to see the city and meet other people. This was the highlight of our time in Rome!
A MUST DO for every (gay) person visiting Rome!
StevieSA, Oct 2019
I booked a few tours with Viator but this was my favourite! I've always heard and read about the secret lives of Rome's historical figures, and with this tour I could experience what their lives must have been like and how they gave expression to their "gayness" Our tour guide was astonishing- his knowledge of the history of Rome and the secret lives of its famous historical figures amazed us all! The people in the tour group was great too - straight friendly they made my straight friend feel welcome and shared laughter and banter with her! The tour takes place at sunset making it the ideal time for photography! This tour is a great opportunity to learn a different history of Rome, to make great new friends, and to see the sights with new eyes! I loved the tour!
