Rome by Night Walking Tour

Rome after dark is a different city. The crowds thin out, the stone glows in the lamplight and the fountains are at their best. This evening walk links the key sights of the historic centre at an easy pace.
Your guide shares the history of the Spanish Steps, the Trevi Fountain, the Pantheon and Piazza Navona, as well as the myths and legends attached to each. You will also get tips on where to eat and drink away from the tourist traps, and where to find the best views for photos.
The route is flat apart from the first steps, and takes around two and a half hours. Evening is also cooler in summer, which makes this a good choice for hot months. Check current details when you enquire.
