The Best Way to Experience Rome by Night

Led by your expert private guide, this unique tour travels from Piazza Colonna to Trastevere, taking in sights like Piazza Navona and the Pantheon along the way. Because of the eclectic mix of bars in Rome, each stop is a truly unique experience. See Rome like a local, beginning your delicious cocktail tour at the "Golden Hour" when the city transitions from the workday to evening. This is the best way to see Rome at night and experience the buzz of local life in the city.

See Authentic Neighborhoods of Rome

Most tourists come to Rome for the iconic and ancient ruins or to see the wonders of the Vatican but strolling through the city with your guide will give you a whole new perspective on the city. Pass through residential neighborhoods where everyday life plays out around you, while your guide paints a picture of what it's really like to be a Roman. This tour gives you a deeper insight into the culture of this enchanting city, beyond the usual tourist sites.

Local Hangouts in Trastevere

The last stop on our evening cocktail tour is in the picturesque Trastevere neighborhood, which is home to some of the best restaurants and bars in Rome. This makes it easy to enjoy an excellent meal after the tour finishes and you're a little tipsy (and possibly quite hungry.) Your guide will have provided recommendations for the best places to eat for the remainder of your time in Rome. Our expert guides know this city inside and out, and they'll be happy to tell you about the exceptional little restaurants that the locals just love.

Our guide, Mario, took us on a fun tour of bars in different areas of Rome. He showed us how the Romans enjoy a cocktail and aperitivo after work and different cocktails later in the evening. There is lots of delicious food included so no need for dinner afterwards. Mario was very knowledgeable and made the evening fun for us. Highly recommend!
