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.

Response from Host, Sep 2026

Thank you for your feedback, Albina. We understand that the pace can feel challenging in extreme summer heat. Our tour follows a planned route designed to cover the key sights within the scheduled time, though we appreciate your suggestion regarding pacing. We’re glad you found the guide knowledgeable and enjoyed her insights.

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.

Response from Host, Sep 2026

Thank you, Lisa! We’re glad the tour was a well-organized introduction to Rome and that you enjoyed exploring in the cooler evening. We appreciate your feedback and hope you had a wonderful stay!

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!

Response from Host, Sep 2026

Thank you, Anne! We’re delighted you enjoyed exploring Rome at night with Alena. We’re glad her fun personality and knowledge made the tour memorable, and we’d love to welcome you back for another tour with her!

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!

Response from Host, Sep 2026

Thank you, Mardi! We’re delighted you had such a wonderful evening with Alina. We’re glad her knowledge, humor, and personable style made the night walk so enjoyable. We truly appreciate your recommendation!

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

Response from Host, Sep 2026

Thank you, Carolina! We’re thrilled Sharon made your experience so educational, exciting, and memorable. We’re delighted her warmth, knowledge, and local insights helped you fall in love with Rome even more. We truly appreciate your wonderful recommendation!

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!

Pamela knew her stuff

Rolando_J, Aug 2026
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.

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.

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.

Good experience

Mary_C, Jul 2026
