Reviews from guests about our tours and locals
"The tour was just myself, my son and the guide, and was very informative about the darker side of Roman inhabitants through the ages. It was relaxed and away from the main centres of congestion, so there was no need for headsets and becuase there were only 2 of us, it gave us loads of time to ask whatever questions we liked and to build a rapport with the guide. This is a tour which focuses on Roman inhabitants through the ages and some of the things they did, rather than being about ancient Rome or Emporers Would recommend it, as a lovely way to have a chilled relaxed tour"
"Hello fellow travelers. We had Arianna show us all the Dark and interesting parts of Rome. This was a very fun and historical tour! Arianna had a story to tell on every corner, bridge and alley. She told us of the dark past of Rome and how the society came up with inventive ways to mitigate the problems! Overall I highly recommend this toyr and would love to meet back up with her again given the chance!"
"This tour is fantastic! You will learn things that you can’t find anywhere else! Elvira was an incredible guide and storyteller bringing the “The Secrets of Rome” and its dark side to life. At each point in the tour we felt immersed in Rome’s extraordinary history. Elvira has a gift for bringing the stories to life, keeping us on the edge of our seats. We recommend this tour and especially Elvira to anyone who wants to learn little known facts of Rome along with some good ghost stories! Lisa and Ted"
"Our guide was Sonia and she was very kind, perfectly prepared and a lot of knowledge, we could basically ask her anything regarding to Rome and it's history. Thank you for the time well spend! "
"We booked with Demetrio but Adrianna arrived instead. She was fantastic!! Very enthusiastic, knowledgeable and had such a passion for her city and the history of it. Thank you for sharing that passion. It was an incredible tour. "
"Had the most enjoyable couple of hours with tour guide Adrianna who's energy , wit, knowledge and passion for the subject enthralled all demographics of the group. rarely has a tour guide made me want to read up on a topic but Adrianna has ! "
"Excellent! Sarah was a very knowledgeable and extremely lively story-teller. Really knew how to punch up each and every tale she told on the Dark History tour. Worthy itinerary as well. Mitch and Sandy"
"This was our 2nd tour with Valentina, who is AMAZING (knowledgeable and organized with a warm and friendly personality). We took it just as it got dark for some extra atmosphere. It was not a creepy tour and we loved walking the city in the dark, seeing less touristy neighborhoods, haunted sites and learning about the history of the ghosts was fascinating. "
"Our tour was titled “Secret Rome - The Dark Side and for those that have been to the Colosseum, the Forum, and the Vatican this tour was a blast. Bryan Lansing was informative, witty, and charming. Not to be missed if you want to spend a very entertaining 90 minutes. "
"Smooth booking Great guide "
