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

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.

Our tour guide was really knowledgeable and made a great leader. This was a perfect way to cap off a day in Rome. The tour is lowkey and takes you through some of the darker history of the city
Laura_F
Unfortunately, this tour was disappointing to our group of 4. It felt lackluster, without passion. It can be very interesting and entertaining as two of us have done this tour a few years ago and loved it.
Mike_C
The interesting bit of history our guide was able to share with us.
And she delivered her stories in a clear, easy to hear manner!
