This was a great tour! Our guide Ana was informative, entertaining and had a great sense of humour. We had a lot of fun while learning so much about Rome and its history. I would highly recommend this tour - the value is great. If Ana leads your tour it will be ‘the icing on the cake’.

Alina did a great job leading us through Romes dark history!
Seeing the city after dark made the experience feel truly special. She was knowledgeable, friendly, and entertaining, bringing the history of Rome to life. A wonderful way to discover Rome.
Joseph did a fantastic job on the ghost tour! He was knowledgeable, entertaining, and made the entire experience a lot of fun. We got to see and hear about things you normally wouldn’t discover on the typical daytime tours, which made it especially interesting. A great way to experience a different side of the city. Highly recommend Joseph and this tour!
What a fun way to learn a little bit of history about the city. Our tour guide, Atousato, was welcoming, engaging and very informative!
Great time! Alina was very informative and a great and patient Tour guide. She was very knowledgeable, thank you!
It was very interesting and informative! Our guide Alina was so professional and friendly. I definitely recommend this tour to know more about Rome, especially the hidden stories no other major tour courses won’t cover.
This Tour was great! Alina,our tour guide was very informative and engaging! We learned all about the spooky side of Rome. Alina made the Tour interactive and in addition to ghost stories, we got some Roman history too. Make sure to bring your sneakers, it's a walking Tour but well worth it!😊
Joseph was kind, engaging, and made the tour fun to walk. The route seemed structured well and overall was a unique way to see the city through a non-typical lens
Joseph was very informative and engaging.
There’s a lot of callbacks to previously mentioned things, everything ties in beautifully at the end.
Our guide was fantastic and the tour content was super interesting and a lot of fun. Highly recommend.
It was a lot of information with a great tour guide. We were not sure what to expect but enjoyed it a lot
Great! Not too far to walk. Good stories. Great tour guide. A lot of places you wouldn’t normally visit
Domenica was very knowledgeable and made the tour fun and interesting. Highly recommend this tour for interesting and unique history.
Our tour guide did a fantastic job!! She is very knowledgeable and energetic! Highly recommend this tour!
Great tour to learn more about the history of the families that lived in Rome. I wish I had gone on the tour at the beginning of my trip so that I could visit some of the places that were referenced during the tour. I would recommend this tour for a different but informative experience.
Our guide was so knowledgeable and made it fun
We hope to see Maham again on a future tour !!!!!!!!!
This tour was AMAZING! Our guide, Atousa, was so knowledgeable, personable & really held our attention the entire time. It is so refreshing to learn niche information about such historical, popular places. This is a must-do on your next trip!
It was amazing! We had a lot of fun. Our tour guide was just great. If yoy are in Rome, don't miss the opportunity
Pamela was absolutely fabulous! She was so knowledgeable, charismatic and a fantastic storyteller. The night walking tour was such a fun and unique way to experience Rome, and the stories brought the city’s darker history to life. It was also the perfect way to explore the city while avoiding the heat of the day. I enjoyed every minute and would highly recommend!
The tour was really good. Pamela our guide was very informative and made it fun and interesting. Walking around the streets of Rome, telling tales of the past.
Less scary and more dark side of some of the sites and sounds. More true crime, all of which I thought were very appropriate and cool
Amazing! Great way to learn some new history in Rome. Very different from other tours in the city and cannot recommend it enough
Want to know more about the dark history of Rome? Do this! Great night walking tour seeing beautiful places with less beautiful history.

Excellent, tour guide was funny and knowledgeable of every stop, bring a water bottle and bring water.
Response from Host, Sept 2026
Thank you, Jesus! We’re glad you enjoyed the tour and appreciated your guide’s humor and knowledge. We truly appreciate your kind words and helpful tip for future guests!
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.
Response from Host, Sept 2026
