What are people saying about Rome

Brooks_K, Jul 2026

Awesome experience

What a great experience! We knew we would have a great time and the ride definitely lived up to it. Our guide Marcus was amazing and informative and our drivers were friendly and funny. My teen girls smiled the whole 3 hours. What put it over the top for us was the customer care. At end of tour when it was all over and we were 30 minutes past leaving the drivers, we realized my husband’s wallet was missing. It’s a black magnetic wallet and we couldn’t find it anywhere. We were afraid it had fallen out of his pack and magnetized to the sidecar (it indeed had). I called the company and the woman I talked to was concerned and immediately called her drivers. They indeed found it. One of her drivers, Oliver brought it to us personally on his own time and then refused the tip we offered. The office then followed up with a caring text. What a kind family company! Please consider their services!

Rome Underground: Catacombs Tour, Aqueducts and Appian Way

Blake_S, Jul 2026

My favorite tour out of the 7 we did!

This was my favorite tour we did! It is pretty light in the walking so it was a great way to end our trip. A large portion of the trip was in their very nice air conditioned bus which was great after doing so much walking in the heat. Our guide Paris was phenomenal and our guide at the Catacombs was too. Sad this was the last day of our trip because I would have liked to try more Walks Devour Tours but I will next time we travel.

Night Tour of Rome with Local Pizza Dinner and Gelato Experience

Jennifer_P, Jul 2026

Beautiful city tour!

We truly enjoyed our night tour! Luigi was a fantastic guide - knowledgable, accommodating and he went out of his way to make sure our tour was wonderful! We booked a group tour but it turned out to be just the two of us! Such a beautiful way to experience Rome at night! Our dinner was delicious and the gelato at the end of the night was a perfect way to finish the tour! Kevin was a great driver and we enjoyed their company! The pick up and drop off at our apartment was easy and stress- free! We would recommend this tour!

Fun niche history out of the heat!

A great add on to my Rome experience and nice to do a walking tour at night with more of a niche historical spin. My guide was well informed & friendly. She had many fun facts about the buildings we walked through and even gave us a few “spot the” activities

This tour was very...

This tour was very lively, fun, and quite informative! Our guide Antonio had a great energy and enthusiasm that added to the positivity of our experience. He had great stories and was able to answer any and all questions we had. We highly recommend this tour for anyone visiting Rome looking for a cool experience.

Rome's Dark Side Ghosts and Legends Tour

Ashley_O, May 2026

Rome after dark was fun and informative!

We did the Dark Side of Rome tour and our guide (we think Ben) was witty and informative. We learned some local history that we would not have learned! Walking through the cobbled lanes scenic and Rome is even more beautiful in the moonlight. Midway through we stopped at a cafe and got Aperol spritzes for the walk. Would recommend!

COMBO: Rome's Capuchin Crypts Tour & Rome's Dark Side Ghost Tour

Jordyn_C, May 2026

Fun spooky stories you won’t hear on any other tour! Thanks Ben!

We had an excellent time on our tour, Ben was our guide for both, and I learned so many spooky stories and facts walking through Rome, things we passed by multiple times on the trip and didn’t even notice! The crypt was so fascinating and beautiful, not at all what I expected. We aware; if you book the combo tour it is a lot of walking, so make sure you’re prepared for that. They do sell them separately too if you don’t think you can walk that long, our tour finished after 10pm. We loved it though!

Haunted Rome Ghost Tour - The Original

Harrison_A, May 2026

One of my highlights

Myself and my fiancée loved this! We made the booking at the last minute whilst waiting for our flight and we are so glad that we did. We were greeted by Karen and informed that we were the only ones on this tour which was a really positive surprise for us, normally tours cancel if the experience is not filled! Karen was a great storyteller and took us on an enjoyable walking tour across some locations and had either an interesting piece of history or horror to divulge, but all of it linking to each other! This experience is great for those who love history, walking, and morbid tales of the dead. It was one of two major highlights of the trip for us and we would love to do it again!

Haunted Rome: Eternal City Night Walking Tour

Best ghost tour with history with Antonio

Antonio is an amazing guide. It was an unseasonably cold night but his interesting stories more than made up for the cold and windy weather. If you are in Rome and looking for an evening walking tour with history and stories, I highly recommend Antonio from Carepe diem tours. You won’t be disappointed.

Capuchin Crypts Tour with Dark History Walk (Small Group)

Brittany_B, Jan 2026

Dark history lovers unite

Alethea was great, we really enjoyed her humorous spin on everything and her energetic personality. A little bummed she wasn't able to join us in the actual crypts but I felt like she adequately prepared us for the experience. It was also a great way to get a hang out navigating Rome.

Crypts and Legends: Exploring the Dark Side of Rome

Amazing company and even better guide

This tour was amazing and the company is sooo awesome. I accidentally forgot to change the date when booking and booked this tour a month before we were going to rome. Viator wasnt able to change it when i notice 24 hours after booking because the tour was within 24 hours. Out of desperation I messaged the company themselves and they agreed to switch the date for me. Our tour guide was amazing she provided not only ghost stories but also general history of rome. She also went out of her way to stop at a church because we wanted to see a painting. Cant say enough good things about the company or our guide

Ivan’s Night Ghost Tour

Slightly confusing to find at the start but once we met Ivan and he started his tour it was a really great and fun experience! It went so fast eventhough it lasted 1 hour 30 minutes because it was so interesting and engaging throughout. Ivan was very knowledgable and passionate about Roman history and is a natural story teller with good jokes. Defiantly would recommend as a great way to spend a night to anyone visiting Rome!
