What are people saying about Rome

Dave_D, Sept 2026

Great tour

It was very interesting to see the ruins or remains of the aqueduct. Walking the original, Appianway was another highlight, and the tour of the catacombs really brought forth some of the early life of the Romans. The whole experience was brought together by an amazing guide, Julia.

Vespa Sidecar Tour By Night with Pickup

Jim_R, Aug 2026

I loved my trip in the...

I loved my trip in the Vespes side car trip with my Driver Simon. He was fun, drove like Italians drive...and gave me an exhilarating, fast and fun ride through the streets of Rome....getting a street level view of the traffic and Rome. It was also getting dusk and the lights were beginning to come on that gave everything a magical glow. I would highly recommend to take a twilight ride. It was just three of us on this tour, the other couple drove/rode their bike and I sat and enjoyed the sights from the side car. I must say that it was THE highlight of my time in Rome. Our driver/tour guide Simon even went BEYOND the call of duty by arranging a cab back to my hotel from our drop off point, which was quite aways back to my hotel. I thank him for his over-the-top customer service and high marks for this touring. If you can Ask for Simon when you book this....

Rome Night Walking Tour: Ghosts, Legends & Haunted Rome

Sarah_G, Aug 2026

Awesome tour with a great guide

Maham was so knowledgeable and funny. She presented the information and stories in such an interesting way that almost immediately grabbed our attention and held it the whole time. The tour was great and she was a wonderful guide. The one problem on our trip in particular is there were a couple younger children who kept interrupting and being over involved making it harder to stay immersed in the story though that has no bearing on Maham as she handled it like a champ and kept the entire group involved so overall a wonderful experience.

Rome's Dark Side: Ghosts, Legends & Dark History Night Tour

Nicholas_H, Jul 2026

Look no further for a characterful evening experience!

My partner and I thought this tour was fantastic! Our guide was knowledgeable, engaging and clearly had a lot of experience - the stories were delivered smoothly and succinctly at each stop but in a conversational manner with a lot of passion and enthusiasm for Rome's dark history and the people that feature within it. If, like me, you like to use ghost tours as a way to walk the lesser-known back streets of a city and to take in the vibes and the character that way, then this tour is also perfect for you. We passed through some stunning side streets and back alleys, each one brimming with charm, history and beautiful architecture to draw the eye. We also passed through what seemed like a pretty chiq neighbourhood with many intriguing bars and restaurants (we will definitely return to). Finally, the views of the basilica and the river from the bridge as the sun was setting were gorgeous, all whilst being entertained by macabre tales of Rome's dark side! What's not to love?

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!

Veronica_O, Jun 2026

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

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!

Ancient Rome’s Dark Side

We loved Ben! He was very knowledgeable & answered any & all questions you had. He had visual aids to assist, too! He knew so much about Rome and its history. You truly learn so so much on this tour. We would highly recommend if you’re interested in learning about Rome and the dark side of the history!

Haunted Rome Ghost Tour - The Original

Shay_S, May 2026

We have done haunted...

We have done haunted tours in other cities and they are hit-or-miss. This was definitely a hit! Our guide, Ali, was very informative and engaging. Whether you believe in paranormal things or not - a good haunted tour should still be exciting with historical information and macabre stories. This tour definitely fit the bill. Totally recommend for anyone who enjoys spooky stories and unique historical anecdotes. From a practical standpoint, the tour was easy to find, great communication from the company and guide, and the walk was very doable. Thanks, Ali - we had a fantastic time!!

Haunted Rome: Eternal City Night Walking Tour

Mohita_C, Mar 2026

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.

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
