Unforgettable Night Tour with Jacopo, A Roman Dream Come True! - This was hands down the best tour we've ever had. Jacopo, our guide, was an absolute gem, funny, passionate, and incredibly knowledgeable. From the moment we met him, he brought ancient Rome to life with stories so vivid and engaging that we could’ve followed him for hours. The night-time setting added a magical touch. The Colosseum and Roman Forum bathed in soft lights felt like stepping into a timeless world. Jacopo’s explanations were detailed yet light-hearted, making history feel accessible and exciting. He answered every question with enthusiasm and depth, never rushing, always making us feel welcome. We learned so much, laughed a lot, and left with memories we’ll treasure forever. Thank you so much, mate, you made our Roman adventure truly special. With heartfelt thanks, Ama & Malina

Highly recommend - This was a wonderful tour! Simón was an incredible guide with his knowledge of the history of the area. I was skeptical at first because of the low cost and wow, we had a couple hiccups because of an accident. We changed our route and got to experience even more.

Best Tour We've Ever Done! - This walking night tour of ancient Rome was fantastic! Simon, our guide, is the best tour guide we've ever had! He took us to excellent vantage points to see the highlights, especially for The Forum. He had an incredible depth of knowledge, presented his information very clearly, and answered every question asked. We HIGHLY recommend this tour and we tipped him well!

Palisade Hill not available although supposed to be included - Great tour guide, but the tour said Palisade Hill was included, and it was closed. We were told to go back the next day because it was included in our ticket, but we’re not able to return. We spent $45 on taxis to/from and have a full schedule. That should have been disclosed from the beginning. Not the way to do business.

Hopeless - Impossible to find guide. The directions to the meeting point were ridiculous and took no account of the many road closures, which had obviously been going on for some considerable time. Don't waste your money. I did.
