Tour Itinerary

1

Meet at Piazza Colonna
Looking for things to do in Rome at night? This tour's for you! Start in one of Rome's squares with a marble column almost 2,000 years old! First, a little history lesson before the real fun begins...
2

First pit stop
Our first drink of the night will be in a trendy aperitivo bar that is a popular spot with the locals. With your local Roman guide, you'll be shown to a table where you can chill and enjoy a drink!
3

Pantheon
This might just be our favorite monument in the city. Many see it in the daytime, but its true magic is shown in the evening under soft lighting.
4

Piazza Navona
Another favorite in the evening and a place steeped in history. You'll see why this is a popular place for locals to walk after twilight.
5

Second pit stop
In a little square, tucked away in the backstreets, you'll taste your second cocktail. A favorite with the Romans, this area comes alive at night and that's not just the second cocktail talking!
6

Campo De' Fiori
Home to Rome's famous market in the daytime and a favorite meeting point in the evening, your Roman guide will be pointing out the best places to eat and drink around this area as you walk.
7

Rome's most beautiful street
Built 500 years ago, this particular street is described by many as the most beautiful road in Rome.
8

Trastevere
A popular drinking location for the working class for the past 2,000 years. Here is where most of the Romans have been hiding in the evenings. Ready for the cherry on the cake of cocktail bars?
9

Mangia!
So aperitivo doesn't just consist of a drink in Italy. That's right, you'll be tasting your way around the city too!
10

Third pit stop
Italy may be better known for their wine, but Italian bartenders sure know how to make a good cocktail! Time to pay a visit to a renovated car garage - this is one of the best cocktail bars in town!
11

Final Stop!
At this point, if you can still walk, we will cap off our tour with a shot glass made out of chocolate, containing both liquor and whipped cream. The perfect finish to a fun night out!

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.
