Beautiful tour!
Steve_G, Apr 2024
We enjoyed every moment of our tour. Rome is beautiful at night and our guide Hussan was exceptional. He gave many interesting facts and answered all our questions. He was delightful! Highly recommend.
Excellent tour from Anna Saturday 13 April
Luke_H, Apr 2024
This was an amazing tour by Anna. She was incredibly knowledgable and passionate about Rome. Unfortunately we were very jet lagged and not aware that it would be only us on the tour and that she was not earning money other than our contribution. We were not well prepared to pay her and didn't get time to discuss a fair price. We felt bad about how much we gave her, she was truly worth more. Please make it 100% clear on your promotion that the guide depends on the payment on the day from tourists.
good attitude of the guide
Tomas_V, Apr 2024
The guide had a very friendly attitude throughout the tour and explained all the topics very well, was a good experience
Excellent way to learn history of Rome at night
PaulJason_B, Mar 2024
Ana was a very experienced guide - clearly knowledgeable of Rome’s history and architecture. I enjoyed the long walk, the particular sites Ana chose, and the architectural development history of each site. My English-challenged wife maybe would have preferred more photo ops and less discourse.
This is a scam, the tour guy never showed up.
Raisa_L, Mar 2024
Beware, this is a scam. The tour guy never showed up. I regret I didn’t read the reviews. Tried to communicate but didn’t answer.
Response from Host, Mar 2024
The tour has been running as planned. In case you would have read the reviews you would know we running every tour booked and you would need to either call or WhatsApp (in case you not on the right spot) us because email is not live! Like always we would have been more then happy to help out. Hope you enjoyed the rest of your stay. Regards
Great nightime stroll
isobel_t, Feb 2024
Excellent night stroll around the city, was a small group on our night so made it even better! Great city facts and conversation. Thanks Vlada
Fun and interesting
Robin_L, Nov 2023
Our guide, Mac, was very knowledgeable about the history of Rome. He showed us things we wouldn't have found on our own and shared interesting stories with us. The night tour was fun, educational, interesting, and a great value. We would recommend it.
Great tour
Dionna_C, Nov 2023
Since we were traveling with a toddler, we were worried about doing a walking tour. The tour length was perfect. Not too long, but long enough to cover everything. Mac (a young polish man) was our guide and he was great. He went over a lot of things about Rome, and he answered a lot of our questions. We thoroughly enjoyed the tours. The meeting point directions were very easy to navigate. Also, since no one else showed up for our tour Mac was able to spend a lot of time talking with me and my family, which was very much appreciated!
Walking Tour
Karen_H, Sep 2023
Was good and showed some sites by night but meeting point wasn’t clear whether it was the top or bottom of the Spanish steps (it was the top). The guide was knowledgeable but very quietly spoken which made it difficult to hear at times.
Wrong advice
Roberta_M, Aug 2023
We asked how to get to the top of the steps not climbing them snd the guide gave us terrible inaccurate advice. We wandered deserted subway terminals till we found someone to ask and were miles from where we needed to be. Elevator not operating and we missed the tour.
Response from Host, Aug 2023
Hello. We got a phone call from you asking how to get to the top of the Spanish steps as far we know we gave you the right info. We clearly told that that the elevator is in the entrance of the metro stop 'Spagna' Surely you can understand that the elevator is not working is not our mistake. The more the guide did even call you to set a different meeting point on the bottom of the stairs but you went already back to the hotel. There is absolutely nothing else we could have done. Thank you
Experiencing the poetry of Rome with Camilla
Samuel_A, Aug 2023
Camilla was an outstanding guide! We learnt a lot of very insightful facts that showed us the city in a way we would never have seen.
Do this night walking tour
Jenny_M, Aug 2023
Sayed was very knowledgeable and provided great insights into the Vatican and other sights along the way. Great to see it at night under the lights
Excellent evening tour of Rome
Charlie_H, Jul 2023
Sahn was a great guide really well informed. Really good value for money, would highly recommend this tour!
Nice evening walking tour
Georgina_H, Jul 2023
I really enjoyed the evening walking tour of Rome. Camellia was our guide. She was very knowledgeable of the history of Rome.
Night tour
Anthea_M, Jul 2023
Very informative tour and was a great opportunity to walk around Rome and ask questions. You don’t actually enter the Vatican City though, which I found misleading. Likewise communication from the guide before the tour didn’t meet my expectations based on previous experiences with Viator.
Response from Host, Jul 2023
Last thing we want is mislead anyone so let us explain: 1. To go inside the Vatican city you need a permission to enter not any regular person and for sure no tourist can enter. 2. The tour ends up in Saint Peters square which is located very much in the Vatican city. 3. You as a tourist (and us) are only aloud in the tourist areas that means the Vatican museums, the Sistine chapel and the Saint Peters church. Which are all closed during the evening. Conclusion; congrats you have been in Vatican city without even knowing and no one has been mislead. Regards
Night tour of Rome and the Vatican
Kindall_T, Jul 2023
Our tour guide was knowledgeable and engaging. I wanted to stop more for photos, but she provided a lot of history.
Wonderful Experience
Juliann_S, Jul 2023
Our tour guide Mike was a friendly and energetic guide. You would have thought he lived in Rome his entire life by the enthusiast way he spoke about the city. Even though we had been on a few tours already, he gave us new insight and knowledge of the city. Ending the tour in front of a beautifully lit Saint Peters Church was the perfect ending to a wonderful tour.
Response from Host, Jul 2023
Dear valued customer, We would like to express our sincerest gratitude for your kind review. Thank you for choosing our tour and for sharing your wonderful experience. We are thrilled to hear that your tour guide, Mike, provided a friendly and energetic experience. His enthusiasm and knowledge about Rome truly made the tour special. It's heartwarming to know that he was able to offer new insights and knowledge, even though you had been on previous tours. Ending the tour in front of the beautifully lit Saint Peter's Church sounds like a perfect finale to a wonderful tour. We're delighted that we could create a memorable experience for you. Thank you for your support and for choosing us. We hope to have the opportunity to serve you again in the future for more amazing experiences. Warm regards,
Magical night tour
Olga_C, May 2023
Superb guide, especially with someone whose expertise is in architecture. That made it very interesting and educational which is what we like. His presentation of history was very pragmatic without glossing over negative but rather just presenting the reality, which is hard to do looking back several centuries. As always, these low cost walking tours are the best. We re really enjoyed it very much. Best tour in Rome
Excellent tour with personal insights
Martin_D, Apr 2023
The personal insights, experiences and impressions of our guide, a journalist from England. An excellent tour
