Join us on a journey through Roman history on our immersive Private Rome by Night Walking Tour. With your own expert guide, your group will discover the city’s secrets, history, and fascinating tales — from antiquity through to the modern day — and all at a pace that suits you.
Meet your guide in Piazza Navona
Your private tour begins in Rome’s most picturesque square, Piazza Navona, where the ancient Romans once gathered to watch athletic contests (agones). Today, the piazza sits above the ancient stadium and boasts Gian Lorenzo Bernini‘s stunning Fountain of the Four Rivers as its centrepiece.
Admire the Pantheon without the crowds
A short walk from Piazza Navona brings you to the world-famous Pantheon. Constructed more than two thousand years ago by the eccentric emperor Hadrian, the Pantheon was consecrated as a monument to all the pagan gods (pan theos in Greek, meaning “all the gods”). This second-century temple is one of the best-preserved monuments of the Roman Empire, and its unreinforced concrete dome continues to perplex architects today.
Discover the Trevi Fountain at the quietest time of day
Next, visit the iconic Trevi Fountain. Immortalised by Anita Ekberg wading through its waters in Federico Fellini’s La Dolce Vita, the fountain is one of the most romantic spots in the Eternal City. Snap photos of the monument in the moonlight, listen as your private guide explains its symbols, and toss a coin over your shoulder to guarantee your return to Rome.
Stroll through ancient Rome on your private tour
From Rome’s winding backstreets, you’ll emerge onto Piazza Venezia. Stretching from the foot of the Capitoline Hill, against the backdrop of the Altar of the Fatherland, Piazza Venezia is Rome’s most recognisable square, tied to historic figures from Napoleon to Mussolini.
Your private guide will lead you down Via dei Fori Imperiali — the boulevard that cuts through ancient Rome — past Trajan’s Column and alongside the forums of Trajan, Augustus, and Nerva. Along the way, your curiosity will be rewarded with stories of the Roman Empire as you make your way toward the most famous monument of all: the Colosseum.
Your private Rome by Night Walking Tour ends beneath the Colosseum
The Colosseum is one of the most awe-inspiring attractions to survive from antiquity. A colossal feat of architecture and engineering, it inspired stadiums and arenas across the world. Yet while its form may seem familiar, the violent spectacles it once hosted remind us of the harsh realities of Roman culture.
This private tour is designed exclusively for your group, so you’ll enjoy a more personal and flexible experience.
