It was excellent. Sila, our tour guide, was exceptionally passionate about sharing Rome with visitors. She also shared many helpful local tips and tricks, including how to spot the best gelato. I would definitely recommend this tour. Even if you have seen Rome during the day, you should also experience it at night.

Excellent tour — Alina was terrific! Hit all the high points and kept the tour moving. Even our 15 and 17 year olds enjoyed it.

Tour was good and saw...

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.

Good experience

Great tour for those short on time or who need suggestions on what to do

Amy_K, Jun 2026
Dan was a great tour guide. I rate on a few things. Pace was great with enough time to get the photos. He was easy to understand and follow. And finally his knowledge about the city was top notch.. As a teacher its important that the guide offers accurate information with a mix of local legends and he was so great at balancing the two. Would definitely recommend this tour.

Response from Host, Jun 2026

Thank you so much for your kind feedback. We’re delighted to hear you enjoyed the pace, storytelling, and knowledge shared throughout the tour. We truly appreciate your recommendation and hope to welcome you again soon! 🌙

A great experience

Ceri_L, Jun 2026
Our guide, Sharon, was great. She was extremely knowledgeable and answered questions from members of our small group throughout. She shared many interesting historical (and some more recent) facts and also included some quieter areas during the walk. The tour ended in dark at the Colosseum- and impressive and memorable end. Sharon went above and beyond in supporting members of the tour to arrange taxis back to our hotels. Thank you, Sharon, for a great experience of Rome at Night.

Response from Host, Jun 2026

Thank you for your wonderful review, Ceri! We’re so happy you enjoyed exploring Rome at night with Sharon and appreciated her knowledge, storytelling, and helpfulness. We truly appreciate your kind words and are glad the Colosseum made for such a memorable ending!

Response from Host, Jun 2026

If you get Sharon - you're in for a great tour!!

stephanie, Jun 2026
Sharon was phenomenal! We had a small group - 3 couples and myself. Couldn't ask for a better group. Everyone was engaged, asked questions, and stayed together. Sharon was so knowledgeable and gave us so much insight into Rome's history as well as present day. The tour brought new light to places I had walked by but didn't know much about yet. And ending at the colloseum was perfection! Sharon was a great guide - knew people we passed, was so friendly with us as well as waiters and others working around the city from seeing her give tours. If I could give more than 5 stars, I would. I've been on many tours in many countries, and I've passed quite a few during my stay in Rome, and none were as good as ours tonight. Thank you so much!!

Response from Host, Jun 2026

Thank you for your amazing review! We're so glad you had such a fantastic experience with Sharon and enjoyed discovering Rome with her. It’s wonderful to hear the tour brought new insight to the city and made your evening so memorable. We truly appreciate your kind words and hope to see you again soon!

Tour guide canceled us the day before. Do not book this tour if you want to count on going on your tour.

Denis_J, Jun 2026
Tour guide canceled the day before for “administrative” reason. We suspect they purposely overbook tours because of Viator’s generous cancellation policy. When no-one cancelled fot our tour, they cancelled us.

Response from Host, Jun 2026

Hi Denis, Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback, and we are truly sorry to hear that your tour was cancelled at such short notice. We completely understand how disappointing and frustrating this must have been, especially when you were looking forward to your experience in Rome. Please be assured that cancellations are never made lightly, and they are not based on overbooking practices. In rare cases, operational or administrative issues can arise unexpectedly, and we sincerely regret the inconvenience this caused you. We always do our very best to accommodate all confirmed bookings, and your feedback will be shared with our team to review how we can improve communication and reduce the impact of such situations in the future. We truly regret that we were unable to host your tour as planned, and we hope there may be an opportunity to welcome you on another experience under better circumstances.

Fantastic way to see the city!

Billy_C, Jun 2026
Dan was great! We seriously enjoyed this tour and seeing all of the sights. We walked a lot, but barely noticed since we were constantly seeing new sights and being educated throughout the whole night.

Response from Host, Jun 2026

Thank you for your wonderful review! We're so glad you enjoyed exploring the city with Dan and had such a great experience seeing the sights. We hope to see you again soon!

Night time walk

Pamela_B, Jun 2026
Our guide was very knowledgeable and had lots of fun facts and stories that added more than the typical info on a building/statue. Only downside, which we should have thought of...this time of year even at 8 pm it's not yet dark and lights aren't on. In retrospect might have been good to do this tour earlier in our visit which would provide a great overview. Evening is cooler and crowds are lighter so you can reasonably cover the distance.

Response from Host, Jun 2026

Thank you for your thoughtful review! We're so glad you enjoyed the stories and insights from your guide. We appreciate your feedback about the daylight hours and are happy to hear you still found the evening walk comfortable and enjoyable. We hope to welcome you again on a future tour!
