Itinerary
This is a typical itinerary for this product

Pass By: Piazza di Campo de' Fiori, 00186 Rome Italy

Between the glory days of the Roman Empire and the beauty of the Italian Renaissance, medieval Rome was a city of desperation and suspicion. Your expert local guide will reintroduce you to monuments you thought you knew, transformed by night-time illuminations, and describe how they were desecrated by citizens desperate for something to sell.

Pass By: Via Giulia, Rome Italy

You’ll also hear about the Inquisition that turned neighbor against neighbor, roasted heretics on spits, and tried to suppress crime by hanging paintings of the Virgin Mary on street corners.

Pass By: Via del governo Vecchio, Via Del Governo Vecchio, 00186 Rome Italy

Dark times give rise to dark legends, and your guide, an experienced storyteller, will share some of these too.

Pass By: Piazza Farnese, 00186 Rome Italy

As you traverse the Tiber river to enjoy some of Rome’s gorgeous piazzas without the heat and crowds of the daytime, you’ll hear the tale of the bridge haunted by a young girl tragically wronged by her family and the Pope.

Pass By: Museo Nazionale di Castel Sant'Angelo, Lungotevere Castello 50, 00193 Rome Italy

At the house of Rome’s most notorious murderer, your guide will reveal what made this bloody figure surprisingly empathetic. Whether you’re here for hidden history, love legends and hauntings, or just want to sightsee without the usual crowds, this night tour is sure to reveal another side of Rome.

When you pay a tour with that price you expect at least in a city like Rome to have headphones or something for the experience to be good. The tour was Worst that we hoped and we do not recommend it.
