Tipsy tours and forbidden history. Fun night with Michelle. She was an engaging host and our group got to know each other much better. Out of the way little gathering places and strong drinks make for memories.

This was such a fun experience! We made some great friends and even hung out with them after the tour on a separate day. Autumn and Michelle were easy-going and fun. A great way to see another part of Rome that you would not see any where else!

This was truly an amazing experience! Our guide autumn was so fun and great at facilitating conversations between a group of strangers! We had several drinks and heard all about some fun and unexpected Roman history. And definitely eat before you go because the drinks are flowing!

An unforgettable experience with Michelle!

Bartlett_D, Jun 2026

Michelle absolutely MADE our Tipsy Bar Crawl and Forbidden History tour incredible from start to finish. Her energy, humor, and storytelling were next-level—you can tell she genuinely loves what she does, and it shows in every moment. She had the perfect balance of fun and knowledge, mixing fascinating (and sometimes wild!) historical details with just the right amount of personality and flair. We weren’t just walking from bar to bar—we were completely immersed in the stories behind the city. Michelle also made everyone feel included and comfortable right away. She kept the group engaged, laughing, and moving smoothly throughout the night. Plus, her recommendations at each stop were spot-on! If you’re even thinking about doing this tour, do yourself a favor and hope you get Michelle. She turns a fun night out into something truly memorable.

Fun with Anna

The host tries to force social interaction between all guests by assigning seats at each pub and dictating who you sit next to. Also, one predetermined drink is provided at each pub.. and there is no other options

Solo Travel to Rome

tannypen, Apr 2026

This tour was phenomenal! As a solo traveler, I have my reservations and did not know what to expect. Our tour guide Autumn made sure she did ice breakers to ensure that everyone got acquainted with each other prior to the tour even started. We all shared laughs and it just got better from there. I highly recommend this experience. It’s great for solo travelers like myself also couples and small groups. Thank you Autumn for making my first night in Rome unforgettable!

Response from Host, Apr 2026

Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We're thrilled you had such a phenomenal experience and that Autumn made your first night in Rome so fun and welcoming. It’s great to hear it was perfect for solo travelers too—thank you for your recommendation! 😊

A Perfect Night in Rome!

Stacy_F, Mar 2026

We had so much fun with our guide, Michelle, and our fellow Tipsy Tourists! Michelle shared some great historical "gossip", and took us to a number of funky local spots... complete with some fabulous drinks! These definitely didn't feel like tourist traps... more like the places you'd want to hang out at if you lived in Rome. Best moment? Getting to see the Roman Forum lit up at night while sipping a limoncello. Heaven!

Response from Host, Mar 2026

Thank you so much, Stacy! We’re thrilled you had a perfect night with Michelle, enjoyed the local spots, and loved that magical Roman Forum moment. 🍹🏛️✨

Edwin_A, Nov 2025

The tipsy tour was a great experience. One of the most fun things I got to do in Rome. Went to several bars and had a variety of drinks. Our tour guide Ana was great. She had us do a few ice breaking activities, and gave us some "interesting" historical stories of Rome. A must do experience.
