For the hot days in summer this evening tour was perfect. A plus was less people at the different point of interest. But what made this tour exceptional was our tour guide Pamela. She was not only knowledge, but presented the information in a fun manner. The small group also makes the tour more personalized.

What’s a fun night experiencing Rome at night with my child. Sharon was great very knowledgeable. Lots of good information to add context to what we were seeing. overall very good experience.

Nice tour

Jason_G, Aug 2026
Alina was knowledgable, welcoming, and helpful with local recommendations in the city. We enjoyed the tour

Overall, this is a great...

Albina_V, Aug 2026
Overall, this is a great tour for people without any type of mobility issues. There was no warning in the description of the tour that described how fast the pace of walking would be, nor of how much walking there would be (closer to 3 km). Given that it was almost 40 degrees celsius and the tour wound up finishing early at the pace that the guide set, there should be some thought given to slowing down the pace a bit so that it's more accommodating to more people. The guide was very knowledgeable and spoke English perfectly given she was from the United States originally.

Rome at night.

Ingra_L, Aug 2026
This is a great tour for those who want to see Rome at night. The guide was very knowledgable. I do recommend for family and friends.

Night walking tour with Sharon!

Marcy_A, Aug 2026
Sharon was a great guide! Explained history & what we were seeing, so great to have a local perspective!

Amazing experience!

Mark_G, Aug 2026
Very knowledgeable guide. Great communication. Seeing Rome at night like this was an all around amazing experience .

Intro to the city

Lisa_B, Aug 2026
We did this on our first evening to acquaint ourselves with the city (and it's cooler in the evening). It was well organized. The guide was good, but provided more high-level information.

Great tour!

Anne_S, Aug 2026
We loved this walking tour! We had a lot of fun and learned a lot. It was so nice to walk to city and see major sites at night when it was a little less crowded and much less hot. Our guide, Alena, was great! She was really nice, fun, and knowledgeable. The tour was a great mix of being taught by Alena and getting to walk around and see the site/take pictures for ourselves. We would definitely do this again, and I’d love to do another tour with Alena!

Wonderful tour with Alina.

Mardi_W, Aug 2026
Alina, our tour guide, was wonderful. Small group and personable. Alina’s knowledge was excellent…and she was funny! Loved her. Would highly recommend this walk at night. So much cooler!

Sharon is the best tour guide we’ve ever had

Carolina_V, Aug 2026
It was educational and exciting. Learning from Sharon was amazing. We found out about local spots, the history of the city, and facts that one would have never known otherwise! Sharon is an incredible person who was very social and easy to talk too. She was so sweet towards us and was open to answer any questions we may have had. Definitely recommend. 100/10 -Emilio She made me love Rome a million times more than I already did. She helped show all the secrets of Rome that make it that much cooler and all of the personal connections that you can make with people. It showed how truly welcoming and amazing Rome is. If you want to learn everything there is to know about Rome, have a funny but also very well experienced and researched guide, and have a blast, then she is your girl. We love her! -Laura

Easy pace walking tour...

Shannon_D, Aug 2026
Easy pace walking tour with plenty of time for photos and questions. Wear good walking shoes to handle the cobbles and uneven pavement. No microphone so can be hard to hear in crowded areas.

Response from Host, Aug 2026

Thank you, Rolando, for your wonderful review! We’re delighted to hear that the evening timing, smaller group, and fewer crowds made the experience even more enjoyable. It’s fantastic to know that Pamela brought her knowledge to life in such a fun and engaging way. We hope to welcome you again in Rome!

Tour was good and saw...

Amy_K, Jul 2026
Tour was good and saw many highlights of Rome in the evening when things are much cooler and make for a nicer time to walk. A few hiccups that kept me from rating it higher. Guide was late for the arranged meeting time and also late beyond the tour departure time. She messaged to explain there was traffic so understandable but also likely easy to anticipate. Also, the information presented throughout the tour was interesting but could have been delivered in a more captivating manner.

Response from Host, Aug 2026

We’re glad you enjoyed exploring Rome in the evening and appreciated seeing the city’s highlights in the cooler temperatures. We understand that the delayed start was frustrating, even though the guide reached out to explain the traffic situation. We also appreciate your feedback about the delivery of the information, as we always aim to make our tours both engaging and memorable. Thank you again for your honest feedback. We’ll share your comments with our team as we continue improving the experience.

Great tour for those short on time or who need suggestions on what to do

Amy_K, Jun 2026
Dan was a great tour guide. I rate on a few things. Pace was great with enough time to get the photos. He was easy to understand and follow. And finally his knowledge about the city was top notch.. As a teacher its important that the guide offers accurate information with a mix of local legends and he was so great at balancing the two. Would definitely recommend this tour.

Response from Host, Jun 2026

Thank you so much for your kind feedback. We’re delighted to hear you enjoyed the pace, storytelling, and knowledge shared throughout the tour. We truly appreciate your recommendation and hope to welcome you again soon! 🌙

A great experience

Ceri_L, Jun 2026
Our guide, Sharon, was great. She was extremely knowledgeable and answered questions from members of our small group throughout. She shared many interesting historical (and some more recent) facts and also included some quieter areas during the walk. The tour ended in dark at the Colosseum- and impressive and memorable end. Sharon went above and beyond in supporting members of the tour to arrange taxis back to our hotels. Thank you, Sharon, for a great experience of Rome at Night.

Response from Host, Jun 2026

Thank you for your wonderful review, Ceri! We’re so happy you enjoyed exploring Rome at night with Sharon and appreciated her knowledge, storytelling, and helpfulness. We truly appreciate your kind words and are glad the Colosseum made for such a memorable ending!
