Itinerary
This is our meeting point and also the first stop of the tour: a terrace with a view of the Colosseum. You'll be welcomed with a glass of prosecco and a shot while your host opens the evening with the first scandalous stories of ancient Rome: how emperors really lived, the truth about Roman marriage, and the secrets guidebooks leave out. It's the perfect spot to take photos of the Colosseum lit up at night before the group moves on to Monti for dinner.
The second stop is a restaurant in the heart of Rione Monti, Rome's old red-light district. Here you'll sit down for a proper dinner: pasta and pizza, with a drink included. While you eat, your host keeps the stories going, and they get bolder: Roman marriage, adultery, brothels and the daily habits ancient guidebooks never mention. It's also where the group really starts talking to each other, so expect new conversations and a few laughs at the table
The final stop is a cocktail bar in Monti, where the evening closes with a signature cocktail made for this experience. This is where your host saves the most outrageous story of the night: the scandal, the perversion, the detail that gets the biggest reaction from the group. You'll leave with a drink in hand, having heard the parts of ancient Roman history that no guidebook or daytime tour will tell you.

Changed time, I never agreed to new time and they won’t refund me.
Great experience. Learned a lot had no idea how the sexcapades were so prevalent. Elvira was our guide and VERY informative! Don’t miss out! Book the tour
Our guide was a lady from Russia (can't remember her name). She was funny. She gave out some historical facts while we sipped prosecco. Asked questions. Lots of laughs. Bim celiac so the restaurant was able to accommodate me (GF pasta & pizza). Would recommend
Lots of Laughter, lots of great food, and lots of drinks. This is the best tour we had on our 2 weeks in 5 countries! You get interesting history your other guides left out, plus the sexual history too. You learn all the specifics on how a brothel worked, plus more. We enjoyed it and would have loved to hang out longer with our new friend.
BEST!TOUR!EVER! I have never been on a tour filled with so much fun, laughter, great food, and alcohol! OMG. My entire group has been raving about how great this tour was and the most fun we have ever had learning history. If history was taught like this, I'd remember more of it. Elvira, our tour guide, top notch. She was engaging, funny, and even after the tour, helped us find our way back to the bus stop. Eni and his wife were awesome. We left wishing we weren't visiting and could make all three of them lifelong friends. The pasta and pizza was amazing. The sadness that overcame us because we realized we haven't been eating pizza and pasta the way it was intended at all. This is how its supposed to taste. And the stories we learned were intriguing and left us wanting to know more. Truly full of the scandalous accounts that were not in my history book. This is one for the books and will become a life-long memory. Fabulous!
This was one of the main highlights of our time in Rome. The tour guide was super informative, entertaining, and laid back. It was fun to do this with another couple that we met on the tour and we ended up hanging out with them even after the tour was over. Would recommend to other adult couples coming to Rome and looking for a different kind of history of this amazing city. Must not be easily offended.
My wife and I couldn’t think of a better way to end our trip than this tour. One of the most incredible values I’ve seen on anything let aline the tours. We had already done a couple of different excursions and walking tours across the city of Rome, even some with overlap to this particular tour, but it was full of funny and interesting information. It was a different way to experience Rome. It wasn’t hamstrung by the extreme heat. It was brought to you with levity and fun by people who care both about the history and the tour itself, deeply. It started out with fun insights and frankly more accurate retellings of different areas that we had visited. The guide used resources to tell the stories and give visuals. Moreover, Eni was fun. The husband and wife team had a playful banter that kept things grounded and down to Earth. So many tours that we had on our trip it was almost impossible to ask a question or create a conversation. It was so hard to feel like it was OK to interrupt the flow and derail the journey with the rest of the group. We had a small group, but they poured into the experience for us in a way that I feel like really separated this tour from the others we had. As a history buff I thoroughly enjoy being able to discuss things with somebody who cared a lot and knew a lot while my wife also enjoyed just being able to experience the nightlife of the city get away a little bit from the heat and partake it as many drinks as we could fit into the time with someone who matched that energy. Most tours are not a “social” experience. The tour guide knew the restaurant owner where we had the best pizza of the trip, introduced us, rented out a private bar with an excellent mixologist, and even got us into the ice bar as the tour wound down. My wife and I are 2 fairly outgoing people that just spent three weeks basically with just one another and while we absolutely love spending time with one another, having somebody else to be a part of it and to share and give us insights on the city, especially the fun ones and silly ones as well as the deeply interesting and historical ones. I would recommend this tour to anybody, but especially those who are looking to experience Rome in a different way. People who want to talk and have questions and are enthusiastic both about people and the potential stories from Rome. I know, 20 years from now, the fun and interesting stuff from this tour is going to be the make up of dinner conversations for us. I think the tour guides are talented enough to adapt to any group, or people, but for us it was awesome to talk to people who we felt a kinship with.
The hosts were so knowledgeable and so sweet, they made sure we got to all of our locations safely after most of us were too drunk to figure it out on our own
Was looking for a fun way to experience Rome as a solo traveler and it was by far one of the most memorable experiences of my trip. The historical information and places we visited, in addition to the food and beverages, made it a truly perfect experience. I have led many student trips over the years and this was the adult version of the most memorable student tour ever.
The best tour ever. Highly Recommended
We love the Drunk History Show so we had to do this tour! We had so much fun and actually learned some little know history about the Romans. The guide was fabulous and funny and made sure we all had a great time. We recommended the tour to everyone we met.
Amazing! Great guides who were supper involved and funny! Would highly recommend for good laughs, history, fun and meeting people!
I'll skip to the important part. You'll be blown away by this tour (wait, did I say "blown" lol). I was literally picking my jaw off the ground from hearing about the sordid history of Roman love, marriage, sex and the unbelievable pursuits of carnal pleasure. And who better to deliver it than your guide Eni and his boss and lovely bride Magda. They should be a comedy team. There timing and delivery on all the fun facts and information kept me rolling in laughter. There were times I was blushing and I never blush at this kind of stuff. I won't spoil anything. Just go. Seriously, just go. Food, drink, super small groups and no need for the headphone earpiece like on most tours. Want to learn things they never cover on history channel? Book it. Got questions? Ask them. Want visuals? Get ready for them. Again, just book it. You won't regret it. I've been on a 5 week vacation all over Italy, France and Spain and this was the most fun of the zillion tours my wife and I took. It was the second tour we took with Roman guides after the ultra awesome "Colosseum Arena Edition Roman Forum and Palatine Hill Small Group" tour a few days prior. That one is fantastic too. Book em all!
It was very interesting to learn about this side of Roman history! And yes you get to drink enough to get a nice buzz lol. And you get to have a great meal with pizza and pasta!
It was so much fun and so informative!! had a blast recommend 100% amazing people great vibes! good way to meet new people also
Most fun and interactive tour I’ve ever had
SO FUN! An absolute must! It was a mixture of history, architecture, and the crazy sexual history that shaped us all. This is great for couples, singles, and anyone who’s looking for history with a good sense of humor at the some time. Tours can get old and this was the perfect mix up of history and fun!
Interesting experience, the guide is very funny and we learned a lot of contraversial things about the ruleres of Rome. I recommended this tour.
This tour was so well thought out, interesting, funny and a little naughty! Our tour guides took care of us, kept the drinks flowing and made sure we got back to our hotel safely. There is no way not to have fun!
Best experience of my life everything was amazing from staff up till guide and they give us also a souvenir in the end
Wonderful! Absolutely amazing! Loved the vibe and the history and knowledge of Eni, the tour guide. Have a drink, talk about ancient naughtiness - have another drink and see (tasteful) photos of interesting, ummm, "techniques and contraptions." Drink some more, get to know each other and just become life long friends! What a great way to break the ice in Rome, to learn a lot and to meet some fun people!!
Amazing experience. Eni is fantastic and painting history with his words. We learned so much, had so much to drink, and the food was perfect. You will regret not booking this if you don't!
Ani was absolutely amazing. He was very knowledgeable, friendly and made the tour very fun. We had such a great time. Highly recommend.
A must do! The guides were amazing. So welcoming and we had the best time. The food amd drinks we're perfect. The delivery what they promise. They took such good care of us from start to finish. Even got us a taxi back to our hotel.
We hat an excellent time and enjoyed the drinks and the pizza very much. The tales of the scandalous Roman empire were fascinating. Our tour guide and his wife were lovely and we got inside to the historic and modern culture of Rome in a personal and very fun way. Would highly recommend!
AMAZING. Eni was the best! He was an excellent story teller, and super charismatic. We loved to hear all about the Roman sordid details while we drank. This tour best for the unfiltered and fun! Eni will match your energy, keep it entertaining, and the group will too! Please book this if you love alcohol, unfiltered sordid details, great jokes, and great company!!
We had an absolute blast on this tour. I think we interrupted the guide too many times for him to actually educate us, but we took away the important stuff. This tour was light hearted and a great way to end our Europe trip. We had nice drinks, and good food, and fantastic company in our tour guides. I would recommend this tour.
My host, Eni was well-informed and quite animated about all of the sordid details of the horned-up lives of the emperors. He and his lovely wife Magda made a fun and interesting tour for us, and took us to great spots for history, food, and drinks. One of the best tours I’ve ever taken, and I look forward to coming back to Rome and taking other tours with them!
One of our favorite experiences in Rome! We had such a great time, ended up only being 3 of us on the tour and by the end felt like we had a night out with friends. Great food and drinks with super interesting stories, a must do!
We started the evening with an amazing welcome shot, then for almost an hour our glasses kept being refilled with prosecco while the guide told stories you don’t hear every day about ancient Rome: incest, the real cause of the fire of Rome, and much more. On the way to the second stop, we walked along the Imperial Forums—at night it was almost empty and absolutely stunning. Once at the bar, we had spritz and pizza, perfect for “soaking up” a bit of the alcohol, while the guide shared fascinating stories about ancient Roman weddings. At the final stop, the cocktails were insane—we each had one, and it was already plenty! And the souvenirs we got? No spoilers 😜. Absolutely a must if you want to discover the spicy, lesser-known history of Rome while having a blast!
Great tour! We enjoyed all the history and it was not your average tour. The guides were amazing and it was such a fun group.
WORTH IT!!! This is the best tour i’ve ever been on. This adorable couple will 100000% bring the vibes and alcohol. Our group are girls who know how to drink and they made sure we were satisfied!! Absolutely loved every second of the tour. From the beginning we were overlooking the Colosseum with multiple bottles of wine. Throughout the whole time our group was living it up and we would all do it again!! If you don’t know if it is worth it, it is.
Fun! Very entertaining, drinks and story telling were on par and we met some good people! 10/10 would recommend this tour. We did it on our last day and it was an amazing way to end the night
This was hands down the best tour we went on in Italy. The guides were incredible — knowledgeable, engaging, and genuinely fun — and they made everyone feel like part of the family from the very start. They encouraged us to ask questions, share our own thoughts, and really be part of the experience, which made it even more special. The pizza and drinks were absolutely amazing and such a perfect touch. Everything was well organized and unforgettable. This tour was a true highlight of our trip, and we can’t recommend it enough!
A night of Roman History, alcohol, good pizza and laughter. The evening felt less like a formal history tour and more like gathering with old friends, sharing stories and laughter under the Roman sky. It’s these connections that make travel unforgettable. Come with open mind and sense of humour and you will have fun and good memories.
If you like your facts with fizz, this tour is it. Three stops, endless laughs, and a guide who could turn any ancient scandal into stand-up comedy. Eni mixed the cheeky details with clever insights that kept it classy but fun. We sipped prosecco at the Colosseum, munched pizza on a terrace, and ended the night comparing cocktails in a cozy bar. History lessons will never taste the same again.
This late-night tour with Eni and Magda was so much fun! It was our second tour with Eni — his Colosseum Underground tour was so good that we decided to book this one too. It didn’t disappoint. It felt like going out for drinks with a couple of new friends who kept sharing fascinating and scandalous stories about Ancient Rome. A perfect break from the typical daytime “hike the ruins or museum” type tours. I will definitely look up more tours with Eni and RomanGuides or DrunkenHistoryRome next time I’m in Rome!
We met in front of the Colosseum at golden hour, prosecco in hand and laughter already flowing. The tour moved at a perfect pace—three stops, each with new drinks and stories. Eni’s anecdotes were equal parts outrageous and enlightening. By the time we reached the last cocktail bar, strangers had become drinking buddies. I walked away with new friends, a head full of trivia, and maybe a light buzz. A must-do for anyone who loves culture served with charm.
Eni was an amazing tour guide. I was excited for the tour with my wife for our 25th anniversary. Eni made it amazing. We met some great people from all over the world. It was the highlight of our trip to Rome. I would highly recommend 1000/10. Best time ever.
We joined this tour with another couple and were surprised by how relaxed it felt. No scripts, no pressure—just great energy. Eni led with ease, weaving between jokes and genuinely fascinating facts. The stories about Roman seduction rituals had us howling with laughter. Each stop added to the mood: bubbles near the Colosseum, spritz with pizza on a terrace, and finally a creative cocktail to close. We left slightly tipsy and completely happy. One of the best nights we had in the city.
Amazing tour….very informative and so fun! Very interesting, informative and so much fun! If you want to make memories book this tour!
This tour felt like a dinner party that happened to take place inside history. Eni’s storytelling was hilarious but smart, connecting the dots between love, power, and wine in ancient Rome. I loved that the group stayed small—no shouting, just friendly teasing and toasts. The spritz on the rooftop might’ve been too strong, but nobody complained. We ended in a cozy bar where the bartender created custom cocktails inspired by Roman gods. I walked back to my hotel smiling and slightly dizzy. 10/10 for adults who like learning through laughter.
Our guide had us laughing within minutes. Standing beside the Colosseum with prosecco in hand felt surreal. He shared stories of Roman affairs and public dramas that could rival any soap opera. The rooftop terrace was breezy and beautiful—pizza, spritz, and endless photo ops. By the final bar, we’d all loosened up, swapping stories of our own while sipping creative cocktails. It’s a social night with a cultural twist, perfect for couples or friends who don’t take themselves too seriously.
Brilliant fun. Highly recommend. Learnt lots and had some great international company. Definitely worth doing and would recommend anyone to give it a go.
My friend and I had a great time on this tour. Lots of interesting facts about the sex lives of the ancient Romans. Really welcoming tour guide who was very knowledgeable. We enjoyed the beverages and the great parting gift too! We recommend this tour!
Literally the best tour! It was fun, energetic, and memorable! Great time to spend with friends learning and drinking!
We weren’t sure what to expect, but my husband and I and our adult kids loved the tour, the drinks, and the charming Eni and Magda. Really fun history with a funny twist.
This tour was easily one of the highlights of our entire honeymoon. If you’re going to the Colosseum for the first time, book this tour, if you’re returning to the area, book this tour! Drunken History manages to turn what could have been a standard historical walking tour into a hilarious, engaging, and surprisingly emotional experience. Our guide… Eni was charismatic, wildly knowledgeable, and a natural storyteller who brought the city’s past to life in the most entertaining way possible. Between sips of delicious local drinks and dramatic tales of love, scandal, and passion from Ancient Rome, we felt like we were stepping back in time… only with better drinks and a lot more laughs. The pacing was perfect, the group energy was fantastic, and every stop was filled with unforgettable stories that blended history, humor, and heart. We had such a great time bonding with other couples on the trip. Whether you’re a history buff, a hopeless romantic, or just looking for a fun and unique night out, do not miss this tour. It was such a good time, and surprisingly turned out to be a highlight of our trip! Definitely recommend especially with your lover or a group. I went for my honeymoon. It’s the perfect mix of education and entertainment, and a reminder that history is anything but boring when it’s told like this. Thanks again Eni and to your lovely partner in crime for the best trip ever.
Absolutely amazing! Was a great personal experience. Had so many laughs and a really good time. I had the best time learning about the difference between mondern culture and Ancient Roman culture. Will recommend to all of my friends. The party favor had me rolling with laughter.
