Overview

Summon the specters of the Dark Ages and rediscover the history Rome would rather forget. This night-time tour combines eerie sights you won’t see on other tours, dark tales spun by a master storyteller and unique views of famous monuments, including Corso Vittorio Emanuele II, Campo de’ Fiori and Castel Sant’Angelo.

Meeting points

The tour starts from steps of the church San Andrea della Valle located on Corso Vittorio Emanuele II, about 150 metres from Largo di Torre Argentina on the left hand side heading towards the Tiber river. The church is located right next to Piazza Vidoni.

Itinerary

  • Campo De' Fiori (Pass By)

    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.

  • Via Giulia (Pass By)

    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.

  • Via del governo Vecchio (Pass By)

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

  • Piazza Farnese (Pass By)

    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.

  • Museo Nazionale di Castel Sant'Angelo (Pass By)

    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.

Great Tour That Provides Continued Knowledge After It Is Done

Published on Oct, 2024

This tour was a lot of fun and just the right amount of time. Our guide, Althea, was great! She had a really good sense of humor, which made the tour even more enjoyable. Also, she walked at just the right pace and that was a great relief to someone like myself that has a hard time walking because of back issues. The places we visited all had interesting stories and it was really neat to see them at night. Also, one of the things that was pointed out was something that you can find all over Rome so the tour continued to provide us with enjoyment after we were done with it. I definitely recommend this tour.

Great night walk in Rome

Published on Oct, 2024

Aletha was an excellent tour guide. Very knowledgeable and a fun experience to have in our last night in Rome. My recommendation is do this walk on your first night in the city so you can go back and experience them at a later date. She gives you recommendations for food and wine. Definitely glad we did this.

Amazing experience with guide Sammy

Published on Oct, 2024

Loved hearing the history of the city and learning about the famous artists. We had tour guide Sammy and he was lovely, spoke very good English and made everything very fun and interactive

Getting to know Rome’s stories

Published on Oct, 2024

Engaging and knowledgeable guide, interesting stories and anecdotes, and about the right length for a late evening tour.

Sammy is a great guide!

Published on Sep, 2024

Our guide was an awesome storyteller. It was obvious he enjoys his job. He made this tour delightful. I shared some of the stories with mt daughter and she regrets not coming with us.
