Tour was a walk through Rome’s landmarks. The tour was overall okay, but it highlighted things to do later rather than see what was there.
Tour guide seemed to want to steer clear of any crowded area, which may have been good, but we were not given a chance to view Bernini’s fountain of the four rivers, nor guided to Trevi fountain.
We expected much more, but overall, it was very informative and tour guide was well versed in art… specifically baroque.
Response from Host, Jun 2026
Thank you for your feedback, Bryan. We’re glad you found the guide informative and knowledgeable. We’re sorry the experience didn’t fully meet your expectations regarding the stops included. Your comments are appreciated and will be shared with our team.

The best tour we've had in 3 days!!! Sharon was fantastic, knew a lot and also gave information about thinks to see or visit if time in your travels permitted. Sharon was just a sweetheart, watched to make sure everyone was doing ok and made you feel like you were her friend. Can't say enough about this tour it was so good! If you are undecided on tours to take, take one with Sharon, you can't go wrong!

We had such a great time on the Moonlight Tour of Rome! Dan was an amazing guide incredibly knowledgeable, engaging, and clearly passionate about the history of the city. He shared so many interesting stories and facts that really brought the sites to life.
Seeing Rome at night made the experience even more special. The crowds were smaller, the monuments were beautifully lit, and the atmosphere was incredible. Dan also gave us some great local recommendations for places to eat and explore during the rest of our trip, which we really appreciated.
Overall it was a fantastic way to experience Rome and learn more about the city. Highly recommend this tour and especially Dan as a guide!

We were at the church last night, waited until 8:30 snd noone showed up. I do believe a refund is in order. We were terribly disappointed as we are from the states and will not be able to experience this again.
Response from Host, Jan 2026
We’re very sorry for the disappointment and understand how upsetting this must have been, especially for a once-in-a-lifetime experience. We’d like to clarify that our meeting point is not inside the church, and our team tried reaching out for approximately 15 minutes to help locate you. Unfortunately, it seems there was a misunderstanding about the exact location.
We sincerely regret that this affected your experience and will review our instructions to make the meeting point clearer for future guests. Next time, please ensure you have an active communication method and contact us directly so we can assist you in finding your guide. We hope to host you in the future!
Phoebe_N, Sep 2025
Sharon was a wealth of knowledge and shared information you wouldn't get from a plaque or audio guide. Everyone in the group has a blast with her. She answered every question we had. I booked this tour last minute about 20 min before it's start and it worked out perfectly
Response from Host, Sep 2025
Thanks, Phoebe! We’re so glad your last-minute booking worked out and you had such a great time with Sharon
