    Not what expected

    Derek_L, Jul 2025
    Very informational for topics covered. Just wasn’t what we personally thought it was going to be. Our guide was very knowledgeable and energetic so I would have given her 5 stars. Gave 3 only based on the advertising and because I hoped for more.

    Diletta is excellent guide, there was lots of interesting facts, lots of history. She has great sense of humor. Excellent tour.

    Response from Host, Jan 2025

    Thank you, Zarina! We're thrilled you enjoyed the tour with Diletta and her humor. Happy to hear it was such a great experience! 😊👻

    Fantastic tour!

    Milan_K, Dec 2024
    Our guide Domenica was amazing!! She knew so much, and it seemed like she spent time outside the tour researching guests’ questions to better inform her future tours, which is very commendable. Walking around Rome at night was also very fun, but if you go in the winter, be prepared for the cold!!

    Response from Host, Dec 2024

    Thank you, Milan! We're delighted you enjoyed the tour with Domenica—her dedication truly shines. Exploring Rome at night is magical, and your tip about winter preparation is spot on. Hope to see you again!

    Fun

    Thank you, Sophia! We’re glad you found the dark stories intriguing and enjoyed the tour. Comfortable shoes are definitely a must for exploring Rome’s legends! 👣✨

    A ‘spicy’ way to see the city…

    Jessica_H, Aug 2024
    Sarah was friendly and approachable with a good sense of humour. Her love for the city came through in her presentation. Her stories brought otherwise innocuous parts of the city to life and the 2 hour tour flew by effortlessly. She modified parts of her stories for our 12 year old without losing any quality or entertainment. A wonderful way to spend the evening and see Rome. Highly recommend.

    Response from Host, Aug 2024

    Hi Jessica, thank you for the fantastic review! We're thrilled to hear Sarah's storytelling made your evening in Rome special. We hope to welcome you back soon! 👻

    The dark side of Rome’s citizens

    Eva_B, Jun 2024
    Diletta delivered a great tour, full of dark stories and tragic circumstances. It was very interesting and my young teens found it interesting as well. Covered a wide range of stories that get the imagination going! My only negative comment is that at times it was very difficult to hear over the noise in some piazzas.

    Response from Host, Jun 2024

    Thanks so much for sharing your experience with us. We hope to see you again soon

    The dark side of Rome

    Anna_B, Jun 2023
    Chenga was wonderful and brought the darker side of Rome alive for us. Thoroughly enjoyed every moment and love the hidden places she revealed and the murky past. I have been to Rome many times but learnt so many new things. Highly recommended

    Response from Host, Jun 2023

    We are glad to hear we provided you with top-notch service! We appreciate the feedback and would love to work with you again.

    Fun experience.

    Greg_B, Jun 2023
    All in all it was a fun experience. Our tour guide provided information about public executions that took place between the 14th-16th centuries beginning with Giordano Bruno and other interesting facts surrounding significant deaths in Rome. The only reason I didn’t give it a five is there were times during our walking tour it was too noisy to hear and not that it was her fault.

    Response from Host, Jun 2023

    We appreciate you taking the time to leave us a review. These stories keep us motivated to continue doing what we’re doing, and we’re so happy to hear that you had a great experience. We hope to see you soon on one of our tours!

    Dalila was an AMAZING guide! She brought all of the stories she told to life and I loved that she also had pictures on her phone to help tell the stories. She had so much knowledge to share and I absolutely loved her vibe throughout the tour. Highly recommend and it was one of the best tour guides we've had.

    Response from Host, May 2023

    Get ready to get scared

    Elizabeth_N, Oct 2022
    Delilah was fantastic! Very knowledgeable and we had a great time. A couple freaky things happened when I was out with her. We saw a shadow in a room as well as a light turning off. A street Light dimmed when she talked. Just creepy stuff. I’d really like to go out again but to see interiors of these places and hear more ghost stories. Can’t wait for my next trip.

    Amazing
