Happy Easter Holiday

Helen_C, Apr 2026

Driver was polite, informative and an excellent driver. He gave our group just the right amount of time for each spot including dinner.

Good but needs work

Dawn_F, Apr 2026

Our guide was very nice and knowledgeable. The van was nice and comfortable. Tour should start later. We didn’t see the Colosseum at night and the Trevi fountain was super busy still. We enjoyed it but not sure it was worth the price.

Response from Host, Apr 2026

Thank you very much for taking the time to share your feedback with us. We are really pleased to hear that you appreciated the guide and found the van comfortable this means a lot to us. We also truly appreciate your suggestion regarding the timing of the tour. Rome is a vibrant city and some of its most iconic spots, such as the Trevi Fountain, can remain lively even later in the evening depending on the day and the season. Your feedback is very valuable and helps us continue improving the experience we offer to our guests. We are very glad that you still enjoyed the tour overall, and we sincerely hope to have the pleasure of welcoming you again in Rome for another experience in the future.

Bad experience!

Jagadish_E, Mar 2026

Did not enjoy, the guide was not very helpful or pleasant. He did not cover the entire attractions, we covered only 3 attractions and missed main attractions like Travis fountain and Spanish steps!… He was rushing us at every place and finally gave us choice saying it was already 9:15pm and where we would like to get dropped? Travis fountain or hotel! Such a bad experience!

Response from Host, Mar 2026

Thank you for your feedback. We are truly sorry to hear that your experience did not meet your expectations. Our tour is usually operated as a shared experience, with other participants joining, and all the planned stops are included with short visits of approximately 5–10 minutes each, in order to cover the full itinerary. On this occasion, the tour was operated privately, which allowed for more flexibility, and the guide may have spent additional time at certain locations. However, as the tour has a fixed duration, spending longer at some stops can unfortunately impact the possibility of visiting all the planned highlights. Please also note that we do not operate the tour with fewer than 4 participants, but we still chose to proceed in order to offer you the experience. We understand that the driver may have come across as less pleasant, and this could have been due to his attempt to manage the timing of the tour and ensure the schedule was respected. However, we are truly sorry if this gave a negative impression, as this is not the level of service we aim to provide. We sincerely regret that this affected your overall impression, and your feedback has been noted carefully as we continuously strive to improve our services. We would be truly happy to welcome you again on a future tour and provide you with an experience that fully meets your expectations.

Pricey but worth it

Anita_S, Nov 2025

Pricey but worth it. Seeing monuments lit up at night hits differently! Good food, great driver, wonderful ecperiencey

Response from Host, Nov 2025

Thanks a lot for your kind words! Yes, the best things in life can be a bit expensive, but magical nights in Rome are definitely part of that list. 🌙💙

This was a relaxing evening with a few other travelers to see a few sights un Rome in the evening light. We enjoyed this on our first evening in Rome

Response from Host, Oct 2025

Thank you, Linda, for taking the time to leave your feedback. We’re happy to hear the tour was a relaxing start to your stay in Rome hopefully we’ll see you again on another adventure soon!

Excellent tour

linda_c, Sep 2025

Wow what an experience. Our driver Flavior I think sorry for spelling. Was a great guy. There was just the 3 of us on this private tour. He was very knowledgable & when we stopped off he was not in any rush so we could take our time to look & take photos. Highly recommend the tour if you have never been to Rome

Response from Host, Sep 2025

Thank you so much for your wonderful review! And don’t worry your spelling is almost perfect, there’s just one extra “r” in Flavio’s name, ahah! He will be delighted to know you appreciated his knowledge and relaxed pace. We truly value your kind words and can’t wait to welcome you again on another adventure with us!

Great overview of Rome

Michael_F, Sep 2025

It’s a part drive and park walk tour and was a great way to catch an overview of Rome with a wonderful dinner and later gelato include. Our guide was really nice and informative. Very courteous and thoughtful. I would recommend.

Response from Host, Sep 2025

Thank you so much, Michael. We’re happy to know everything from the guide to the gelato was appreciated. Your kind words and feedback motivate us to continue creating authentic and enjoyable experiences.

Night Tour of Rome

Lr_H, Aug 2025

We were lucky to have an older gentleman, Giuseppe, as our guide! It was our best tour in Rome❤️ Our pizza was wonderful, as well as the ice cream, & seeing the sights at night was special! Highly recommend this tour!!

Response from Host, Aug 2025

Hello It's always a pleasure to hear about how beautiful are the experiences with our tours!! we love to make people happy! Thank you for sharing Marzia

Rome at Night with pizza and gelato.

Lauren_B, Jul 2025

We had a lovely time with Guissspe , The pizza and Gelato stop were both fantastic. The restaurant in Particular was fantastic it's a new place and the food was fresh, innovative and the owner a delight to deal with. Seek out Conso @ Via die 57,00186 Roma. Our driver was very accommodating and went out of his way to make sure we saw what was important to each of us. This was a shared tour and my son and I shared with 2 lovely women from St Louis. Shout out to Rose and Mary!! After a long hot dusty day the comfort and AC were a wonderful respite. We would absolutely do this again..

Response from Host, Aug 2025

"Thank you for sharing your wonderful experience! We’re so glad you enjoyed the tour with Giuseppe, the delicious food stops, and the comfort along the way :) Looking forward to welcoming you again on our tour in the near future Marzia

Just ok

Elizabeth_G, Jun 2025

Meh. It was ok. Expensive for what it was. The word guide is a bit misleading - it was basically a driver that took you around at night, dropped you off and met you to move on to the next spot. No real tour or information shared about anything you were seeing. Dinner was a 5/10 - basic pizza nothing special. We ate with another couple who was on the tour. They were nice - but honestly, If you don't care for dining with strangers this may not be for you. We took our 2 daughters ages 12 and 15. It was just ok. Not really worth the cost in our opinion.

Response from Host, Jun 2025

Thank you for your feedback. We’re sorry the experience didn’t fully match what you were expecting. Our evening tour is designed as a flexible, driver-assisted itinerary, offering time to explore each stop at your own pace rather than a guided commentary throughout. That said, we would like to highlight that our driver-guides are experienced professionals, knowledgeable about the city and its history. They share relevant information, historical context, and local insights during the tour to enrich the experience, while still allowing guests the freedom to enjoy each location comfortably. As for the dinner, it’s meant to be a casual, local-style meal in a friendly setting. We understand that shared tables may not be ideal for everyone, though many guests enjoy the opportunity to connect with fellow travelers. We personally select each restaurant to ensure a pleasant atmosphere and good quality food, in line with the spirit of the experience. We appreciate your comments and will keep them in mind as we continue to refine our services.

Yummy

joseph_p, May 2025

This was a great way to see place places in the evening with out crowds. The pizza was great but one pie would be easily shared by two. The gelato was awesome.

Response from Host, May 2025

It’s wonderful to hear you enjoyed the tour and the peaceful atmosphere of Rome in the evening. Your comment about the pizza is spot on perfect for sharing! We’re also pleased you liked the gelato stop, as it’s one of the local favorites we love to share with our guests.

Great way to start a trip to Rome

Judy_S, May 2025

Luigi from Madagascar was fantastic. He was extremely knowledgeable about the history of the sites. He has a great personality and didn’t rush us at photo ops. Stops at pizzeria and gelato added to a great experience. We would highly recommend this tour.

Response from Host, May 2025

What a joy to hear that Luigi made your day in Rome truly unforgettable! His passion, patience, and perfect pizza stops clearly hit the mark. We're so pleased that your experience felt more like a day out with a knowledgeable friend than a typical tour. Grazie for sharing this colorful snapshot of your journey Luigi will be so happy to hear your kind words!

Great Night Photo Op and Food!

Gail_R, May 2025

Getting picked up at my hotel is always great! My night photos are as spectacular as the highlights of Rome are when lit up at night! The restaurant’s location was amazing – across the street from the Colosseum - and the pizza there was yummy! It’s always my preference to have a small group tour, so this was perfect - just myself, 4 others who were traveling together, and our driver. The only negative was that the van’s two bench seats for passengers faced each other. I was picked up last and ended up on the bench seat facing backwards. This didn’t matter for photo stops, of course. But when the driver pointed out what we were passing along the way, it was hard to see. It was a great tour and I thoroughly enjoyed the four people that I shared my evening with!

Response from Host, May 2025

Thank you for such a thoughtful and vivid review your words really brought the evening to life! We could almost see the glow of the Colosseum from your table and feel that quiet magic Rome has after dark. We completely get the value of being picked up right at your hotel starting the night without stress really sets the tone. And it’s great to hear that the small group dynamic worked so well for you. Over time, we’ve noticed how many solo travelers like yourself actually prefer these kinds of shared tours not just for the sights, but for the chance to meet others, even just for a few hours. That’s part of why we love creating these moments all across Italy. We really appreciate your feedback about the van seating comfort and visibility are important, and we’ll keep working on ways to make that part smoother too. Thanks again for sharing your evening with us. Your story is exactly the kind of connection we hope to create with every guest.

Avoid this tour! Not worth the price!

ROBIN_S, Apr 2025

Avoid this tour! It Was supposed to start at 6 pm…. We were Waiting at hotel and then Got an email they were started at 7 pm with no prior notice. They Also had to go pick up another “forgotten” participant , so our tour didn't start until 8 pm… 2 hours late! Dinner was supar. Not impressed. Only offered water, no wine or drinks. Tour guide was only a “driver” didn't speak or tell us anything as he drove us around, just dumped us off at places and went back to the van and told us to meet him there when done. I requested a partial refund for the 2 hours late start and no real tour, but tour operator denied the request. Avoid this expensive tour and spend your money elsewhere for a better tour.

Response from Host, Apr 2025

Hello Robin, We’re truly sorry to hear that you didn’t enjoy the tour. We always do our best to make our guests happy, and as you can see from the majority of our reviews, over 85% of our clients leave satisfied. Regarding the “forgotten participant” you mentioned, this was actually a guest who hadn’t sent us their pick-up location within the deadline. Despite this, we decided to accommodate her anyway, because our priority is to offer the best possible service and flexibility to all our guests. Please note that, despite the slight delay, the duration of the tour remained unchanged. You had one of our best drivers that evening, and after receiving your refund request, we personally contacted him to ensure everything went smoothly. He told us you seemed very happy with the experience and even left a very generous tip. As for the dinner, we always select high-quality local restaurants. We personally test them before recommending them to ensure the best experience for our guests. We’re sorry it didn’t meet your expectations, even though we tried to be flexible by offering different menu options to suit everyone’s preferences. Lastly, I’d like to share a copy of the message we sent you via Viator, on April 7th two days before your tour. confirming the exact pick-up time and location. I’d also like to point out that it is clearly indicated on our Viator page that, during summer, the tour starts at 7:00 PM. "Hello Robin, The driver will pick you up at 7:00 PM on April 9th at the entrance of Hotel F******. This is a shared tour, so the pick-up time may vary by about 5 minutes. Please confirm that you received this information. Thank you, Kind regards, Alessia" (Message sent via Viator on April 7, 2025, 05:52 PM by Marzia Verdone)

Rome by night tour

Paul_Z, Mar 2025

I had a wonderful time with Giuseppe my tour guide. Alessia arranged a tour for me by myself and my tour guide Giuseppe since it was my last night in Rome. Giuseppe was extremely knowledgeable when visiting the night time sights and I enjoyed the entire your one on one with Giuseppe. The pizza was fabulous and I would definitely suggest going on this tour to anyone! I give it a thumbs up 👍 👌 for sure😄

Response from Host, Mar 2025

Thank you so much for your kind words! We’re absolutely happy that you enjoyed your last night in Rome with Giuseppe. It means a lot to us to know we helped make your time here memorable. We carefully select our guides and drivers to ensure you get the best experience, and it’s wonderful to hear that Giuseppe was able to share his knowledge and make your tour special. The pizza is always a highlight, too! We’d love to welcome you back in the future for more unforgettable experiences. Safe travels and hope to see you again soon! Alessia

Don't bother with this one.

Jerome_J, Mar 2025

myway Tue, Mar 4, 7:36 AM (1 day ago) Good morning, This is Marzia from My Way. As per our phone message, our driver mentioned that you had some issues with the restaurant. We are sorry for the issu Jerome Josken 8:06 PM (6 minutes ago) to myway Marzia, We were very disappointed by Rome by Night Pizza & Gelato tour. I received about 6 confirmations over the two days prior confirming the pickup time (6PM) and location (our hotel) . About an hour before I get an email saying pickup is at 7PM. I called immediately and was told the daylight brought on by the new month the driver thought a 7PM pickup would work better. Another driver picked us up at 6:45PM (45min late) and let it slip that our tour guide was late from another tour. We met our actual guide about 7PM at another location. Tight scheduling is never an excuse. Be on time and stay on time. We had 5 people scheduled for this tour and we all burned 45 minutes waiting for your guide. Our guide took us immediately to a square that looked very festive and had at least 6 Italian Restaurants. The one he "dump us at" was the worst of the bunch (I hope - can imagine worse restaurants in Rome). We were not given any guidance as to what was included. He disappeared immediately with instructions that he would text us later. The food was horrible. Two people in our party had Pasta Pepa which had no sauce. It was noodles with some pepper on it. The other two dishes were very bland pasta dishes. We got to a gelato stand which was acceptable. We were taken to 4 different sights (Trivi fontain, St. Pete's Square, The Spainish Steps and an overlook site of Rome - don't recall the name). At each sit the guide gave us a preliminary lecture and turned us loose. We returned to the hotel shortly after 10PM. The tour was 3 hours, not 4 as advertised.

Not what we expected. It...

Connie_B, Feb 2025

Not what we expected. It was a rushed tour, hopping in and out of a van to only see things from the distance for a couple minutes. No time to relax and properly see the sites.

Avoid

Yelena_L, Dec 2024

There were several attempts to change the time of the tour. Not all advertised sites were visited. There was no any input from the guide at all, he just functioned as a driver and the whole event went down to a mediocre dinner in an empty restaurant in a touristy area. We cut it short skipping a gelato part- the whole thing was a total waste of money ( quite a bit of it) and time. Please, avoid this experience

Response from Host, Feb 2025

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We’re truly sorry to hear that your experience did not meet your expectations. Providing high-quality tours and exceptional service is our priority, and we regret that this was not reflected in your experience. The restaurant is located in Campo de' Fiori, one of the most vibrant nightlife areas loved by locals. The restaurants we select for our clients are the same ones we personally enjoy, ensuring an authentic experience and the highest quality service. Looking forward to welcoming you on our tours again and giving you our best.

Great night tour in Rome

Denis_M, Nov 2024

Roberto was an excellent guide. He explained all of the sites and allowed us to determine what sites to see. The meal was excellent. Gelato was the best we ever had.

Magical Rome at Night

Floy_B, Oct 2024

A very enjoyable evening with dinner and gelato included!! Seeing Rome at night with all the lights is just magical

Rome @Night

Renato_E, Oct 2024

This tour was definitely "A TO DO" experience when in Rome. Roberto, our guide for the evening, was knowledgeable and entertaining. He pointed out all the sites and provided ample time for photo stops at THE important monuments in Rome AT NIGHT! You can always see the monuments during the day but at night these same places have an all new awe inspiring personna. Definitely a MUST DO activity! Thanks again Roberto!

Perfect Night in Roma

GinaMarie_L, Oct 2024

I highly recommend this experience. Daniel was a genuine historian of Rome. He entertained our group while providing so much information and knowledge of this magnificent city . We visited a charming restaurant with delicious cuisine and wine. Then enjoyed the best gelato in the world at a different venue. Daniel took us to so many hidden sites for fantastic photo opportunities . If anyone wants a safe enjoyable evening experience this is your best choice!

A beautiful introduction

Elizabeth_L, Oct 2024

We thoroughly enjoyed this tour on our first evening in Rome. We’re not experienced in foreign travels so appreciated the introduction! The city is beautiful at night! Our meals of pizza/pasta were very satisfying at a charming restaurant with outdoor seating, the gelato was also delicious. Our driver was friendly and very informative!! We would recommend this without reservation!!

Fun

Maria_L, Oct 2024

We arrived in Rome and took this tour. Our driver was great very funny and personable. Great meal and the gelato was out of this world. It was great to see Rome at night all lit up.

Rome by Night Worthwhile

Magdalena_P, Oct 2024

Roberto our driver was excellent. He was extremely attentive and knowledgeable. My husband walks with a cane and he gave special care to him. Pizza & Gelato were very good 👍

Great Tour of Rome by Night

Donnie_C, Oct 2024

This tour was a little pricey, but was definitely worth it, and I highly recommend it. There was only one other couple with us so that made it even better. We had dinner at a lovely restaurant, and we weren't rushed at all. Our guide was so great - after dinner there were several stops (including one for gelato) and we were able to get out and take pictures and walk around. There was never a rush at any stop. We had plenty of time to walk around and take pictures and the crowds were a little lesser (Trevi Fountain was a little crowded, as always). I highly recommend, and I would take this tour again if I were in Rome.

Rome at night

Tina_G, Oct 2024

A very good way to end the day after lots of walking. Great to see all the main sites lit up at night. Along with getting information of what we were seeing.
