Had a wonderful time with Sharon during this evening tour of Rome. She's deeply funny and lovely and clearly very knowledgeable about the history and culture of Italy. She coordinates the tour based on the group's general level of knowledge about Rome (our group's was about zero) and explains everything in simple terms, while still keeping it exciting! I also really enjoyed walking through Rome with her and seeing her say ciao to about every second person we walked past: I think that quite captures the Italian spirit and sense of community! Ps: I went to the restaurant she recommended on the tour the next day and had a delicious lasagna!
The tour could have been a great tour but it was pouring rain. The rain influenced the tour guide’s enthusiasm for the tour unfortunately. We walked by the Trevi fountain but nothing was said about the fountain. We walked to one side of Piaza Navona and looked at one fountain. I did get an awesome picture of the Colosseum and the tour guide did provide a great dinner and gelato recommendation. These three things made the tour not a complete waste of time.
Delfina was an amazing host. Very knowledgeable. Great walking tour that didn't even feel like 2.5 hours. We saw all the significant sites with enough time to take photos and enjoy each site. Seeing the sites at night was a completely different experience and worth while.
Sharon was very informative, light hearted great tour. A fair walk bit band for buck well worth it. Very pleasant
It was wonderful to take in the historical sites with our expert guide Dan. He answered all of our questions and he also provided us with advice on other sites, churches and restaurants in Rome. It made our first night in Rome magical!
We had a great time and learned a lot. Our guide was fantastic
It was a really lovely tour of the city. Knowledgeable guide. Highly recommend.
Very informative and a great host - really enjoyed the tour! Had a great time and saw truly wonderful pla especially.
It was amazing tour I discovered Rome in very short time with amazing guide tour I will recommend this tour for everyone visiting rome
I took this Tour on my first night here, hoping it would make Rome feel a little less intimidating. It absolutely accomplished that goal. Sharon was lovely and seemed to charm her way around the city. She constantly kept track of everyone and made everyone feel welcomed. The best part - she gave us a chance to take photos at the stops, but also moved us right along so we could see everything.
What a wonderful nighttime walking tour. Great information and willing to answer questions. Sharon was awesome! Definitely worth the time!
We had a great time on our walking tour in Rome last night! Our guide was friendly, knowledgeable, and did a wonderful job sharing the history and stories behind the places we visited. The tour was well organized and a great way to see the city at night while learning more about Rome. We enjoyed exploring beautiful areas and seeing some of the famous sights illuminated after dark. The atmosphere of Rome in the evening made the experience even more special. Overall, it was a fun and informative tour, and we would definitely recommend it to anyone visiting Rome!
Wonderful tour with a very informative guide. Pamela was very friendly and her pace was great. Highly recommend.
Had a guided tour with Sharon in Rome covering the main highlights, including Piazza Navona, the Trevi Fountain, and other iconic sights. We really got to see every location planned for the activity. It was extremely hot that day—right in the middle of August—and she was very thoughtful about keeping us cool, making sure we stopped at fountains to refill our water bottles and taking breaks to grab a gelato. She made sure everyone could hear her clearly, spoke calmly, and didn't hesitate to share plenty of great local tips. She was extremely knowledgeable and genuinely passionate about Rome and Italy, which made the experience really great. Saying goodbye at the end gave us that bittersweet feeling you get after a wonderful time—a clear sign that the tour went amazingly well. We would do it again without hesitation.
We had Joseph as our tour guide and it was our favorite guided experience in Rome!! He was very passionate and gave us interesting knowledge on everything!! Even great food recommendations.
Sharon was a great tour guide! She was very friendly and knowledgeable. The tour is quite long so be prepared to walk a few miles, but so worth it! Come with energy and questions, Sharon has so much to share!
My family and I had a wonderful 2.5 hour tour with Sharon that started at Piazza Navona and ended at the Colosseum. Sharon was energetic, informative, and fun! While we toured in the last night of the trip, it might be even better at the beginning of a stay in Rome because the tour provides a great overview of attractions that could be visited later in more detail. Don’t hesitate to book this trip. It’s a great value!
You most certainly should book this tour. Sharon, our tour guide, was knowledgeable, personable, and an absolute joy to spend time walking the city of Rome with. Book her tour. You won't regret it, as it will be time well spent.
Great tour you filled with information you wouldn’t know..,,
Pamela was so engaging and down to earth. She clearly has extensive knowledge and a passion for what she does and she used that with great effect. An interesting and informative tour, highlighting the major attractions and bringing them to life.
Excellent tour! Pamela was amazing!
I thought the tour with Alina was great. She was very informative and interactive. It did involve a lot of walking so be prepared. I thought it was worth it and loved seeing the coliseum lit up at night.
Great overview of key sights. Very pleasant to walk around at night and see things lit up. This was a wonderful start to our Rome visit.
An excellent tour. The guide was very good and made the entire experience enjoyable. Rome looked so beautiful at night.
Great idea for an evening in Rome! I enjoyed our tour good use of time and you get to see a lot to of different places
Tour was a walk through Rome’s landmarks. The tour was overall okay, but it highlighted things to do later rather than see what was there. Tour guide seemed to want to steer clear of any crowded area, which may have been good, but we were not given a chance to view Bernini’s fountain of the four rivers, nor guided to Trevi fountain. We expected much more, but overall, it was very informative and tour guide was well versed in art… specifically baroque.
Super Nice we almost missed it but we found the group
We had a great time and learned some insider information about some of the sights. It was nice to walk around once the heat of the day was over.
Great tour, the tour guide was personable. Very knowledgeable and super fun. We all had a great time and learned new things about Rome, great introduction. Highly recommend this tour.
Very fun and informative with our guide!
The best tour we've had in 3 days!!! Sharon was fantastic, knew a lot and also gave information about thinks to see or visit if time in your travels permitted. Sharon was just a sweetheart, watched to make sure everyone was doing ok and made you feel like you were her friend. Can't say enough about this tour it was so good! If you are undecided on tours to take, take one with Sharon, you can't go wrong!
Alina was a wonderful guide! She was very knowledgeable and friendly. She managed our group well with the big crowds and gave us great suggestions for things to do in Rome!
Sharon was wonderful, very knowledgeable and personable. She didn’t let construction get in the way and showed and suggested museums we would enjoy after the tour, thank you Sharon for an amazing time
Sharon was great. We were late due to public transportation slow down. She called to make sure we were still coming. She gave us a lot of history on each site. Gave us some general travel tips also. Bravo!
We ran a bit long but only because there was so much great information and so much to see! Guide gave us great tips on avoiding some of the tourist congestion(short cuts). We would highly recommend this tour.
Alina shared lots of interesting information about the sights. Thank you, we enjoyed the tour very much even with lots of walking.
Our evening walking tour of Rome was an evocative and deeply immersive experience. Navigating the city under the cover of night felt like a journey through time, offering a profound perspective on the complexities of Roman history and the dualities of the human condition. We were particularly impressed by our guide, Moham, whose passion and extensive knowledge were evident throughout the tour. His ability to weave "dark history" into the broader narrative provided a compelling and nuanced look at the city’s past that will certainly stay with us. We highly recommend this tour to anyone seeking a sophisticated and intellectually stimulating exploration of Rome. It is a must for those who wish to see the city's history brought to life with such expertise.
Csenge was a phenomenal guide, we had a great experience! She was able to answer all of our questions and very knowledgeable about the sights. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Rome!
Maham was so knowledgeable & personable. She showed us hidden gems along our route. The group was small so very intimate.
The tour is OK for the price, you can only look at things from outside. The tour guide was a little rude and impatient. She would say things like, “if you are not interested in this trip, you can go back”. “ I already told you this information”, which makes you feel not welcome.
After dealing with rude Roman's during the day, she was a breath of fresh air. Nice,informative, great energy. I learned so much.
Great tour if you want all the history and to see hidden gems!Our guide was so knowledgeable!
Such a great way to start our vacation in Rome! The best part of the tour was definitely our guide, Sila. She was very knowledgeable about all the things we were seeing and made it fun and interactive. Very comfortable with our group. She had amazing recommendations for food and locations to visit and really brought a personal and local feel to the tour.
This was a great tour. Our guide was amazing
Really enjoyable experience that is a perfect way to see many of the sites around Rome. My wife and I decided to take this tour on our first day in the city and it helped us to get a feel for all of the locations and get our bearings. Alina was a great tour guide, knowledgable and engaging.
It was amazing and very informative. Thank you so very much for the opportunity to participate in the tour.
Dan was very informative and enthusiastic about the tour. He made us feel welcome to be there. He had great knowledge of the whole arrest and was able to answer questions about it as well.
Excellent food, great stories, and friendly staff
