About the tour

Just in case you want something different from a walk around the neighborhood of your hotel and dinner in a nearby restaurant. Rome is beautiful to in the daytime but it's incredible at night. Monuments like the Colosseum, the Trevi Fountain and St. Peter's Basilica are even more spectacular at night than they are during the day. You can climb the Capitol hill and see the square Michelangelo designed in a sort of mystical atmosphere and, a few steps further, see the panorama of the Roman Forum all lit up. You'll be met at your hotel or at the restaurant where you'll decide to have dinner at and you'll be driven around the city for two hours to see all the places lit up. You'll be making stops and walking around in Places like Piazza Navona and the Trevi Fountain for example, to get into the ephemeral atmosphere of the Roman night. I'm frequently asked: "what do people here do in the evening?" Well, you'll see for yourself what they do: they just enjoy the city! Can any place be more romantic than Rome?

It is so pleasant to stroll around the piazzas in the cool breeze of the evening after a hot summer day.  You can enjoy a "Tartufo" ice cream at the "Tre Scalini" in Piazza Navona or a drink in Piazza della Rotonda in front of the Pantheon all lit up so much that you'll wish the evening would never end! Rome is not a dangerous city, you can walk all over at night without worrying about your own safety, but going with somebody who knows the city makes your evening touring even safer.

Obviously if you're staying in a hotel in the very center of the city you can walk on your own to Piazza Navona, the Trevi Fountain, the Pantheon or the Spanish Steps. You can still do the tour with me, we'll leave those places out of the itinerary and instead go to all the places that are further away and not too easy to get to, like St. Peter's, the Janicolum Hill, the Colosseum, Palatine Hill etc.

The Colosseum

The Monument to the King Victor Emmanuel II in Piazza Venezia

There is not a set time to start the tour, you can always decide for yourself at what time you want to go, but also there's a big difference in the time night falls over the year. In fall you can start the tour around 7:00 pm and have your dinner afterwards, while in the summer you'll have to wait until after 9:00 pm. There are two different types of tours you can do, one that lasts two hours and takes you to see the city illuminated and another one that includes time for dinner and take 4 hours.

The price for the dinner is never included but I can suggest a restaurant and take you there. I'll wait for you and then take you on the tour. Obviously in fall you can reverse that and have your tour before the dinner because it gets dark earlier. There are several pretty good restaurant I can take you to. restaurants with a show, outdoors in a beautiful garden or in a quant Roman "Piazza" or even out of town. Dinner at "Bucci's" in the little town of Castelgandolfo in a terrace overlooking the lake, is an unforgettable experience!
