The best Rome night tours & experiences with locals

With its sun-soaked, sepia-tinged streets and ancient cityscape, Rome is a true wonder of the world. It’s impossible to imagine that the city could become even more magical at night – but our night tours in Rome might surprise you. As the sun sets over the River Tiber, the mighty Colosseum is lit up against the night sky, and locals swap offices for atmospheric aperitivo spots, the vibe of the city transforms. Our Rome tours at night reveal ancient streets abuzz with locals meeting up for drinks and snacks or convivial feasts before heading off to cool cocktail bars and late-night clubs. Tell us what you want to do, because this is your night – we’ll just plan it!

Experience Rome after dark

The city takes on an otherworldly appeal when Rome’s ancient icons are illuminated and revelers descend on the centuries-old streets. When the city’s tourist attractions have closed for the day and all that’s left are the convivial spaces where locals gather to socialize, our night tours in Rome are the easiest way to experience the city like a true Roman. Any traveler with a GPS and a guidebook could navigate a Rome sightseeing tour of all the iconic attractions, but with your guide leading the way, you’ll get a glimpse into the locals-only side of Rome that wakes up when the sun sets.

Pick your own pace

Everyone’s idea of an ideal night out is a little different, so our night tours in Rome are 100% personalized to suit your pace. Rome has no lack of places to party up a storm, from pulsating nightclubs to summer festivals with live music under the stars. But if you like your evenings a little more low-key, there are plenty of amazing activities to fill up your night tour in Rome. Maybe you’ll take a twilight cruise along the River Tiber, stroll streets bathed in the warm glow of golden light, or seek out a popular trattoria with no English menu in sight for a dinner you’ll never forget.

Explore must-sees minus the crowds

As one of the most famous travel destinations in the world, Italy’s capital is often crowded with visitors on their own Rome sightseeing tours. While you might struggle to nudge through the throngs during the day, City Unscripted night tours in Rome are the perfect time to explore the city’s iconic locations at your own speed. Maybe you’ll toss a coin into a near-deserted Trevi Fountain, stroll up the quiet Spanish Steps, or snap pictures of world-famous landmarks lit-up against the night sky. When you’ve had your fill of Rome sightseeing, plenty of bars await you at the tail-end of one of our night tours in Rome.

Latest reviews from our guests

Alessandra was the perfect local guide and she became a friend at the end of the tour. She walked me through the history of Rome as we walked through and introduced me to the true local Rome :) I’d highly recommend her for anyone who wants to peel back the layers of Rome!!! Grazie !

Irene is a fabulous tour guide. She is knowledgeable, a great conversationalist, and fun-loving. Irene tailored the tour to my interests and was flexible with last-minute changes. She is one of Rome's treasures.

Massimo took my sister and I on a private tour in the Trastevere neighborhood of Rome. He was the perfect guide - personable, funny and interesting. You can tell he loves his job, and we learned a lot from our time with him. I definitely recommend touring with a local guide and ask for Massimo when in Rome!
