Fantastic Tour of Rome! - My tour on the 7th was amazing! It was a lovely small group and the guide (and my other tour members!) were perfect - we had a great walk round listening to stories and seeing places we wouldn't ordinarily notice! Some places you have probably walked past but never realised the stories and bits of history linked to them. The Crypt was so interesting and it's church was just beautiful. Thank you to Sister Molly for being so kind as to let us visit - she's doing an amazing job looking after the church. If you are looking for something a little different this is definitely for you - I have been to Rome a few times so was looking for something new and this did not disappoint. The 2 hours really did go by so fast and I will definitely book another next time I visit - thank you!

Federica Brings Rome’s Dark History to Life — Highly Recommended! - I joined the Dark Side of Rome Tour with Underground Bones Crypt with Live Virtual Guide, and our guide, Federica, instantly felt familiar—probably because I’d been seeing her fascinating short videos on social media in the weeks leading up to the trip. Experiencing her storytelling in person felt almost exclusive, especially since it ended up being just me and my family on the tour. What made the experience stand out was how interactive and engaging Federica was. She encouraged us to ask anything at any point, and she has this great way of building suspense—sometimes answering your questions only when the story naturally reaches that moment later in the tour. It kept us hooked the whole time. I also appreciated how thoughtful she was with pacing. She let us sit and relax whenever there was a good spot for it, and at roadside stops she always made sure we were safely out of traffic before diving back into the history. Overall, it was fun, fascinating, and surprisingly immersive. If you’re considering any of Federica’s tours, I highly recommend them—she knows how to bring Rome’s darker stories to life in the best possible way.

History of Rome with a twist - highly recommend it - Honestly this was one of the best tours I had in Rome. It is a different and creative way to tell a part of this history of the city. And we had a nice evening tour in the historic center as well. I highly recommend it. Big thanks to Federica .. amazing and super friendly guide

Spooky and Fun - If you enjoy stories and the paranormal than the Dark Side of Rome tour for you. My tour guide was awesome. Federica is an exceptional story teller and transported us through her story telling the the life of times of popes and normal people. The size of the tour group was small and it made the interaction with Federica and her story telling even more surreal. The tour was so intriguing that the two hours flew by. the pace of the walking was perfect and i did not feel rushed, With this being at night it added an extra bit of mystery to the tour. I am so glad I found LVG and plan to make more tours with them the next time I am in Rome.

Live Virtual Tour was amazing! - It was so nice to finally meet Frederica after viewing many of her tours during Covid. She is knowledgeable, energetic and a great storyteller. She was very accommodating when we were running late and made sure that we were able to join the tour. Highly recommend this tour.
