What are people saying about Rome

Barbara_A, Jun 2026

Amazing tour!

Our tour of the catacombs, aqueduct and Apian Way was an amazing experience. Chiara was so informative and knowledgeable. She shared interesting anecdotes that were not only informative, but also entertaining. Chiara really made the tour special and one we will always remember.

Vespa sidecar with driver

It is a must-do excursion. Max who ran our group was knowledgeable and kept the tour on schedule. He answered questions. Marco was our sidecar Vespa driver ,and he was an impeccable driver. He conveyed details while driving between stops. He took up the rear of the group ensuring solo customer drivers were safe & "shepherd" in line. He was also amusing.

My husband and I...

My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed this tour! Maham was a fantastic guide filled with knowledge of the city. The stories shared and places visited were beautiful and interesting. We would highly recommend this tour for anyone who loves learning about the darker side of a city’s history that have shaped its story and culture.

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!

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

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!

Phenomenal Experience!

This is the way to see Rome! We felt like royalty pulling up to each site and saving so much time getting from one to the next. Ahmed was a fantastic driver and tour guide, finessing his way through the narrow streets while educating us on the history of Rome! He gave us a recommendation for lunch which we thoroughly enjoyed. It was a spectacular experience and worth every penny! Highly recommend this tour, and Ahmed! Read less

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.

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

Excellent tour

Wow what an experience. Our driver Flavior I think sorry for spelling. Was a great guy. There was just the 3 of us on this private tour. He was very knowledgable & when we stopped off he was not in any rush so we could take our time to look & take photos. Highly recommend the tour if you have never been to Rome
