Amazing tour of the darker side of Rome
Chrystal_S, Mar 2024
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!
Great for alternative history and sights

Our guide, Arianna, was fantastic. Her knowledge, enthusiasm and genuine passion shone through, and her personal touches made it a memorable and insightful experience I would highly recommend

Dear Sean, We are happy to hear that you have enjoyed your experience with Bryan. The "Secrets of Rome" is all about some dark dark fun :) Thank you!
Very interesting
Amy_L, May 2023
Bryan was amazing, very knowledgeable and funny. We were the only 2 people on the tour so that was nice. We learnt so much about the dark history of Rome and it was so interesting. We had a great time and would definitely recommend this tour.
Dark History Alive

Sarah was an excellent historian and story teller. She really made the ancient scenes come alive in our hearts and minds. It is not often that someone is as gifted in engaging history…. But specially dark history.
Take the tour!
Judith_S, Jun 2019
Our guide was fantastic. He was so knowledgeable and had a great style for telling ancient tales. And so many interesting stories. We hit ghost hot spots carrying diving rods which was really fun. We saw Michelangelos home while he was painting the Sistine Chapel. BTW he hated painting it but was under orders from the pope or his family was doomed. We visited streets and sights we had no idea we had been passing daily. I’ve been looking up all the names of the people in his stories. 2 hours went by too fast! Learned a lot!
