This was a great tour! Our guide Ana was informative, entertaining and had a great sense of humour. We had a lot of fun while learning so much about Rome and its history. I would highly recommend this tour - the value is great. If Ana leads your tour it will be ‘the icing on the cake’.

Our guide Maham was fantastic! She brought Rome's dark history to life with captivating storytelling. Walking through Castel Sant'Angelo and across Ponte Sant'Angelo at night was genuinely spine-tingling.
Maham perfectly balanced spooky stories with historical facts, and the interactive elements made it engaging throughout. The 8:30 PM start was perfect for atmospheric darkness.
Whether you're a skeptic or believer, this tour shows you a completely different side of Rome. Highly recommend - and ask for Maham as your guide!
Response from Host, Apr 2026
Thank you for your wonderful review! We’re so glad you enjoyed exploring Rome’s dark history with Maham and experiencing such an atmospheric evening. It’s great to hear the mix of stories, history, and interaction made the tour so engaging. We truly appreciate your recommendation!
