What To Expect

Meet for this walking tour of Rome in the early evening before the lights of the city begin flickering, and then set off on foot to begin your tour of one of the most beautiful cities in the world.

Your first stop is at the Pantheon, where you can snap pictures of the beautiful structure under the moonlight. Afterward, follow your guide to the nearby Trevi Fountain, a true icon of the city and one of its most valued treasures. If you’d like, you can drop a coin in the fountain for luck before moving on (own expense).

Continue following your guide to Capitoline Hill, and catch a glimpse of the Roman Forum and its famous ruins that are still standing from the days of the Roman Empire.

Your last stop is at the impressively large Colosseum. Once a place that was packed with crowds and booming gladiator fights, it now serves as a reminder of ancient Roman history. Your guide shows you around its exterior walls as you learn little-known facts about the amphitheater.

Did it meet expectations

Sue_S, Oct 2022

Seeing the sights at night was beautiful except as the brochure stated, we were very disappointed not to see the Colosseum at night as that was one of our main objectives! Could not hear or understand our guide so did not know what we were looking at. Wish we would have had earbuds with amplifiers like many tours have.

Lousy tour

Jane_S, Oct 2022

Your guide unprepared and did not give details of the sights, we did not see the Spanish steps as advertised. The tour was advertised for 3 hours, it lasted one and one half hour. He left us stranded after the tour without any idea how to get to the starting point Very disappointed

Would highly recommend this tour of Rome!

Catia was very knowledgeable. She did a great job of showing us Rome. She also gave us some recommendations for places to eat. Really enjoyed her tour.

Malgus, Apr 2022

This was the best way to see and learn alot about Rome. Tour guide was excellent and very knowledgable. She included everyone and took her time.

Good luck finding and communicating with this tour operator!

Neil_B, Oct 2019

Full disclosure, although difficult to find due to a rather chaotic meeting point, WE were 5 minutes late (our fault) and missed the tour. The complaint, however is that neither the TEXT or Phone number listed on our Viator confirmation for this tour were responded to when we called. Never...not even to this day. We called Viator who DID respond and seemed more focused on that fact that we were late. We would have been happy to catch up to the walking tour....happy to reschedule. Neither of these requests were honored. It is for this reason that I recommend avoiding this tour.

Ok but only just!

Cherie_M, Aug 2019

I had great expectations as had just been on a wonderful tour in Florence but this one was lacking. The guide kept apologising when she took us the wrong way - she said “I’m so tired” on numerous occasions but we (as in the walking group) had been kept waiting first for the ear phones and then for the guide herself for over 30 mins. Then the tour was abruptly finished as most of the group dropped off... we were not back at the original meeting point and I was by myself! Her response was that it was “easy” to get back - I do not speak Italian and it was my first day in Rome - it was not “easy” to find my way home - especially in the dark. I felt she had other plans and really just wanted to get god if me. Not good! In saying all this - she was informative and when focused - knew her stuff!

Our tour was amazing and Irene our guide was so informative and fun and made it very interesting a must see to visit the best spots in Rome

Great tour!

Kirstin E, Jun 2019

Really enjoyed this tour, our Guide Irene was really good at showing us the best places for photos and full of interesting history and amusing anecdotes. Really appreciated it being at night, as the daytime was so hot! Do this tour at the start of your trip , if you can.

Excellent Introduction to Rome

Richard M, May 2019

A great night out with this walking tour. Great idea to have the headsets. Our guide was excellent and very well versed in all things Rome.

Tour Never Happened - Super Disappointed

Amy_S, May 2019

We were there on time and ready to go. After making the international call to the tour company, they said Viator was notified but we never were! Paid and confirmed so now I get to fight to get our money back for getting stood up when we get home.

Guided Night walk of Rome

This was such a great tour! My husband and I now want to go for any city tour at night because of this tour. The tour guide was great. She loved Rome and her passion really came through. She helped us with quite a lot of 'perfect picture' spots too.

I have been to this World's wonder twice...day and night. Try both instead of one... one thing for sure...the ambience that your lens eyes and camera captured will surely tell you the difference...

Philip R, Nov 2017

This was an excellent tour! We had the best tour guide, but I don't remember his name. We had little radio things with ear buds and the guy talked into a mic, so it was easy for us all to hear everything he said. He really knew a lot of history and kept us entertained the whole time.

We loved this tour. Seeing the coliseum at night was beautiful. We just got into Rome the morning of the walking tour and the tour was a great way to get established in Rome. The guide was delightful and knowledgeable. The tour was worth the value.

DANIEL D, Nov 2017

The tour guide was exceptional, she was well prepared, took us for many places and give us advise where to eat and drink too. It is definitely worth spending time doing this tour, especially in your first day in Roma.

Guide was very personable and felt we saw a lot. With Rome traffic and all the small alleyways, definitely helpful to have someone who knows the ins and outs. Enjoyed seeing the sights from this viewpoint.
