It was wonderful to take in the historical sites with our expert guide Dan. He answered all of our questions and he also provided us with advice on other sites, churches and restaurants in Rome. It made our first night in Rome magical!

Response from Host, Oct 2026
Thank you so much, Adnan! We're so glad Domenica made the evening special for you.
I took this Tour on my first night here, hoping it would make Rome feel a little less intimidating. It absolutely accomplished that goal. Sharon was lovely and seemed to charm her way around the city. She constantly kept track of everyone and made everyone feel welcomed. The best part - she gave us a chance to take photos at the stops, but also moved us right along so we could see everything.
Response from Host, Oct 2026

We had a great time on our walking tour in Rome last night! Our guide was friendly, knowledgeable, and did a wonderful job sharing the history and stories behind the places we visited. The tour was well organized and a great way to see the city at night while learning more about Rome. We enjoyed exploring beautiful areas and seeing some of the famous sights illuminated after dark. The atmosphere of Rome in the evening made the experience even more special. Overall, it was a fun and informative tour, and we would definitely recommend it to anyone visiting Rome!
Wonderful tour with a very informative guide. Pamela was very friendly and her pace was great. Highly recommend.
Response from Host, Sept 2026
Thank you, Joseph! We’re thrilled Pamela made your Moonlight Rome tour such a wonderful experience. We’re glad you enjoyed her friendly approach, informative insights, and comfortable pace. We truly appreciate your recommendation!
My family and I had a wonderful 2.5 hour tour with Sharon that started at Piazza Navona and ended at the Colosseum. Sharon was energetic, informative, and fun! While we toured in the last night of the trip, it might be even better at the beginning of a stay in Rome because the tour provides a great overview of attractions that could be visited later in more detail. Don’t hesitate to book this trip. It’s a great value!
Response from Host, Jul 2026

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.
We had a great time and learned some insider information about some of the sights. It was nice to walk around once the heat of the day was over.
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!

Dominica was an excellent guide who provided an overview to Rome's history from its beginnings. At each stop she spoke in more detail about the history of what we were looking at. She was easy to talk to and answered everyone's questions.

Paulina was a guide and she was great. The walk covered the historic points in Rome and she had fascinating stories to tell about each slot. Especially liked the stories anout the Trajan column.
She made the walk very interesting and two hours flew by.

Thank you, Murali! We’re glad you enjoyed the night tour and that Sila’s knowledge and insights made it such a great overview of Rome.
Less crowds at night so a great time to see the sights and learn some history. Even though it was 2.5hrs the walk felt very easy and we were given time at each spot to take photos/look around.
