After a whole day of exploring Rome, our 2.5 hours with Isuf turned out to be the most memorable part of the day! Isuf has an incredible talent for making you feel like you're spending time with a long-time friend rather than being on a guided tour. His humour, endless jokes, fascinating stories, and warm personality made the whole experience so special. The tour was so smooth, natural, and easy to follow. Isuf made history interesting and entertaining without ever making it feel like a lecture. We laughed so much, learned a lot, and had an amazing time with the whole group, which made the experience even better. Rome has so much to offer, but it's the people who make a place truly unforgettable — and Isuf is definitely one of those people. If you're visiting Rome, do yourself a favour and book a tour with Isuf. You'll leave with more than just historical facts; you'll leave with a smile, great memories, and the feeling that you've just spent time with a friend.

The activity is good. The guide was enthusiastic. Only thing is could be helpful to give more details of meeting point such as take escalator up from train station. The building is red and in front of a small park overseeing the colosseum.
Isuf (Joseph) is a wonderful tour guide! He created fun and harmony within the tour group by gamifying what we learned, know, and how kindly we treat each other. He always offered to take our picture at each monument (which I particularly appreciated as a solo traveler). The balance between motion and rest as well as between information and time to marvel was very comfortable and engaging without being overwhelming but while still feeling full. Definitely recommended!
Joseph is an AMAZING tour guide with tons of stories, mysteries, and adventurous tales to share about every major historical attraction in the heart of ROME. I could not recommend him more highly! Thank you Joe my brother!!! 🙏🏾
Highley recommend. Energetic and knowledgeable. Best tour in Rome.
Joseph did a spectacular job so much info, very kind to the group, very pleasant and I would go again because he is so Great
A wonderful evening with an engaging and knowledgeable guide!
This is one of the most engaging and fun tours we've taken! Isuf was such a great guide-he shared a lot of interesting information and made it easy for everyone to connect and recall many of the facts through interactive games. He also took great photos at all of the iconic locations of everyone. Definitely highly recommend!
I can't explain in words the kind of person Joseph is. The truth is that he has been an excellent guide! Fun with a lot of knowledge and always thinking about how we felt. The truth is that it's the best guide I've ever been able to get. If I return or someone goes to Rome I will recommend them 100%. It's worth every euro and more!!! 🥰🥰🥰
Isuf was a phenomenal tour guide. He was knowledgeable, engaging, and fun. Isuf recapped after each location and made sure we understood the significance of each landmark. He also sent us links and ideas to help with the remainder of our trip to Rome. One of the, if not the best, tour my wife and I have have ever taken!!
I had the chance to experience Lock Your Tour as a birthday gift from a colleague who had already taken it twice and really wanted me to join! And I’m so glad I did. It turned out to be the best experience! Joseph was incredibly clear, engaging, and knowledgeable. I learned so much throughout the tour. Even though I speak English, I really appreciated how he sometimes connected ideas in Spanish to create a stronger connection and make the experience even more inclusive. Everything went smoothly and the people who were on the tour were also amazing!! I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Highly recommended!
If you are looking for the most enchanting way to see the Eternal City, look no further! I booked the "Walk the Magic of Rome at Night" tour, and it was, without a doubt, the best decision I made during my time in Italy. Rome is beautiful by day, but it is absolutely breathtaking when the sun goes down and the crowds thin out. Our guide (Drita) was incredible—so passionate, engaging, and knowledgeable. He didn’t just recite dates; he told stories that made the history of the city feel alive. The itinerary is perfect. We started by seeing the Colosseum glow against the dark sky, which is a sight I will never forget. Walking through the Piazza Venezia and seeing the Vittoriano monument illuminated was stunning. One of my favorite stops was the Trevi Fountain; visiting it at night feels so much more intimate and magical than during the midday rush. We also visited the Pantheon, Hadrian’s Temple, and ended at the Spanish Steps.
Great to see Rome at night and really professional guide who made the walk so enjoyable
Josef was v informative with his tour . Give us not just well known facts but also obscure ones to. Good photo opportunities
Great fun night tour with Joseph. Highly recommend this tour as an introduction to the famous landmarks. Joseph was very engaging, energetic and knowledgeable which made for a memorable experience.
Joseph was very knowledgeable and spoke clearly. He made sure to be interactive throught out the tour and had fun with it by making a game with asking questions. If I make it back out to Rome with a group I will looking to schedule another tour as I was a solo traveler this trip.
Really enjoyable walking tour taking in some of the best sights in Rome at night. Joseph created a fun vibe during the evening with a combination of jokes and interesting background information and context to what we were looking at. He was also skilled at getting us great positions for photos. Would definitely recommend this tour!
Joseph was amazing!! the tour was so informative. we covered a lot more than expected. it was around 3 hours long and included a bathroom break. he gave us extra recommendations for other things to do in the city and they have been amazing. 10/10!!
Isuf was a great guide, and provided us with a fun and informative tour of the main attractions of Rome. It was a great way to explore Rome of an evening on our first night in the city. Isuf was knowledgeable and entertaining, and was more than happy to answer questions and take photos for everyone in the group. Would definitely recommend! :)
From start to finish our tour guide Joseph was bubbly and dynamic sharing his knowledge of Rome’s ancient sights on this fast paced and engaging tour interspersed with short breaks. Loved it an experience to remember
After a long day travelling in the heat, somehow Isuf managed to wake me up and keep me engaged and excited to see the city for 3+ hours and 3 miles. The best walking tour I've been on with an informed and entertaining host. Book this tour as the first thing you do in the city!
Joseph was an excellent tour guide! We only had one night in Rome and are so glad that we did this tour. It was packed with information and was a great mixture of learning and fun. He kept us on our toes the whole time and managed to sneak in stops for affogato and excellent photos/short videos for us (even at really busy locations like the Trevi Fountain) while keeping us all on time. We ended up with a small group, which was a nice bonus, and he expertly navigated us around the city. Be prepared to participate and to keep up! Joseph even checked in the next morning to see if we'd been able to visit the Pantheon, his favorite place (for which he gave us clear and very helpful advice about getting into with very little wait). We had to fly out the next morning but have a short list of things to do, based on his recommendations, for the next time we're in Rome. Would highly recommend this tour to others. Thank you, Joseph!
The tour flew by. Our tour guide was very knowledgeable and made the tour fun. Helped us find a bunch of stuff we didn’t even know about. Highly recommend!
Joseph was an amazing guide. He made an effort to keep everyone involved in the tour. We had a wonderful time and learned a great deal.
Drita was the best! We were exhausted from travel and she made the tour fun and engaging, even for my 16 yr old! The city was beautiful but hearing all the history made it so much better than going it alone. Worth every penny! Ask for Drita.
Wouldn’t change a thing. Drita our guide was incredibly knowledgeable, funny, and welcoming. Such a wonderful experience.
This was the best tour ever! The guide was very enthusiastic and knowledgeable about everything. We learned a lot and enjoyed every step of the walking tour.
I really recommend this tour. Such a Nice way to see Rome, and what a lovely guide. She was very passionate and welcoming!
Great tour , covered all the good spots and the tour was brilliant . Highly recommend , I did it at the end of my trip but would advise doing it at the start so you can see where you want to go back to and you get some amazing tips on restaurants and coffee shops to visit too.
What an experience... Joseph is an excellent storyteller and engaging host, knowledgeable on pretty much anything related to Rome. He has an excellent sense of humor and a unique way to keep you engaged throughout the tour. I highly recommend him and his business 😃 George
We had the absolute pleasure of touring Rome with Drita, and we can't recommend her enough! From the moment we met, she was warm, welcoming, and full of energy. Her deep knowledge of the city and its incredible history made every stop on the tour fascinating. She struck the perfect balance between historical facts and light-hearted fun, keeping us both informed and entertained throughout. What really stood out was her thoughtfulness - even after the tour ended, she sent us a detailed list of recommendations for places to eat, explore, and enjoy around the city. We tried a few of them and were thoroughly impressed! If you're looking to explore Rome with someone who is knowledgeable, kind, and genuinely passionate about what she does, this is the tour for you. Thank you, Drita, for making our experience in Rome so special!
The tour was great and our guide Isuf was wonderful. He was funny and engaging. We highly recommend this tour. Rome at night has different vibe than during the day
This is one tour which I will highly recommend to those who want to look at Rome and its famous landmarks in night. Our tour guide was Joseph, gem of a person who enthusiastically explained everything, made the tour filled with fun activities, jokes and trivia. And additionally he is an expert photographer. Got to meet new people with wide ranging age groups. Overall this tour gives you lot more than you expect!! Thank you fellow travellers for such a wonderful evening.
This was truly one of the best walking tours I’ve booked! Our guide was absolutely lovely so friendly, enthusiastic, and incredibly knowledgeable about Rome’s history and landmarks. You could really tell she loved what she was doing, and her passion made the experience even more enjoyable. She kept the group together effortlessly and made sure everyone felt included and comfortable. We visited many of the must-see sites, and her storytelling brought each one to life. It felt more like exploring the city with a friend than being on a typical tour. Highly recommend this experience to anyone visiting Rome. you’ll walk away with not only beautiful memories but a much deeper appreciation for the city’s rich history. Grazie Drita.
Absolutely amazing tour with a very knowledgeable host who was able to create good energy and a friendly atmosphere with complete strangers. Rome at night is stunning would recommend this tour to anyone who asks.
Isuf (Joseph) was a delight. Rome at night is spectacular, buzzing with activity. Our guide was a wealth of knowledge and covered a lot of ground. He took fantastic photos of us. I’d HIGHLY recommend this tour.
Had an absolutely amazing time with Isuf - was very informative and engaging. Booked this on a whim last minute and was very happy that I did. Isuf had so many great stories, history, and kept the tour going at a great pace. Highly recommended!
This is the best tour I’ve been in all my life, the best way to see Rome is with Isuf it’s a magical experience, you learn so much history in a fun way! Recommend this a 100% if you’re going to Rome , if you miss it you didn’t experience Rome at all !
Drita was incredible, her knowledge and enthusiasm about her job was second to none. Always willing to listen and answer any questions we had. This was truly a memorable experience and one that I will never forget. Highly recommend!!!
Do NOT hesitate to book this tour. Isuf our guide was personable, knowledgeable and made sure we remembered what he was sharing with us in a fun way. We saw the coliseum, the Altar of the Fatherland, the Pantheon, the Trevi Fountain, the Spanish Steps and much more along the way. It was the perfect introduction to Rome for anyone needing a checklist of what to explore further during the day. Our guide provided us with lots of hints and suggestions for further exploration. Amazing overall!
The monuments are beautifully illuminated, the night is cool, and the streets are less crowded. It was a very pleasant tour at an easy pace.
Lots of walking! We appreciated how informed and engaging our guide was, and also the breaks for coffee/ restroom .
I came to Rome Dec 2022 and the night tour with Isuf was the highlight of my trip. SO much so, that when I returned to Rome in April 2025, I booked with him again and his energy and passion for Rome's history is unmatched.
I highly recommend this engaging and fun tour to anyone looking to learn a bit more about key historical sites in Rome. Isuf was a great guide who went above and beyond to ensure we enjoyed ourselves and learned a lot along the way. One of the best tours I've ever been on.
A fantastic fun tour of Rome by night. Guide was 10/10, an expert on Rome, kind, funny and friendly. Best tour we have done in Rome.
Drita was great! Very friendly and funny. Very knowledgeable, too! I wish we could have taken a larger tour but the shorter tour was very good.
Drita was great and very knowledgeable! We walked around Rome all day without any direction, once we took her tour we felt like we knew the city and a great deal of its wonderful history. Not to mention she’s also the perfect photographer. Book the tour!
Isuf was very knowledgable and had a great time exploring the sights. Was very engaging! Would highly recommend if you're short on your time and only have a few hours to see the sights!
Absolutely fantastic experience! Can't recommend this tour enough. I lived in Rome for several months during college and still learned a ton of new information that I'd never heard before. The tour is so much fun and Isuf is so knowledgeable, we especially enjoyed the friendly competition with "points" awarded for answering questions about what we learned. Thank you Isuf!
Drita is a great tour guide. She’s very knowledgeable about everything Rome—she knew exactly which slots to hit. This was an amazing overview of the city. I can’t thank her enough for this experience!
