What are people saying about Rome

Daveena_S, Oct 2026

Happy to recommend!

One of our favourite experiences in Rome. Get to see a lot more of the city than you may have had time to visit otherwise in a fresh and entertaining way. What we loved most were the personalities of our drivers and the feeling of zipping around on a scooter and sidecar along with the locals. We felt safe and well looked-after the entire time. thanks Simon and Enrico!

Great haunted for of old Rome

A great way to explore old Rome on our first night. Exploring ancient streets and learning about the haunts, serial killers and superstitions built into some of these old buildings. Ana was a knowledgeable and entertaining guide. She kept my attention engaged with a scavenger hunt for Madonnellas. Thanks Ana!

We loved this tour! Our guide Arielle was very knowledgeable and friendly. The Capuchin Crypts were spectacular, followed by a walk around Rome highlighting some very interesting areas along the way that you would otherwise miss or other tours wouldn't mention.

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?

Beat the heat of Rome and see all the stops, book this tour

This is the way to Knock out Rome in a day and survive the July heat. Andrea our driver was professional and showed us the ins and outs of Rome, even taking us to an authentic coffee shop frequented by the locals. He also took us to a lunch stop that was fantastic.

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

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!

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!!
