Explore Rome’s intimate history over prosecco, dinner in Monti, and a signature cocktail, with a terrace view of the Colosseum.

About this tour

Trade the usual Roman history lecture for an evening of stories best told over a drink. This Rome history tour at night explores the city’s intimate past, from imperial affairs and power plays to brothels and forbidden desires.

Begin on a terrace with a view of the Colosseum, where you’ll raise a glass of prosecco and hear the first tales. The tour does not include Colosseum entry. Then head to a restaurant in Monti for pasta, pizza, and a drink as the stories grow bolder. A final stop at a cocktail bar brings one last outrageous tale and a signature cocktail. The route involves minimal walking, with time to sit during dinner and the final drink.

With a small-group feel and a lively mix of history, food, and cocktails, this Rome history tour at night offers a memorable way to spend an evening in the city. Meet your guide near the Colosseo Metro station and get ready to toast Rome’s less buttoned-up past.

How this score is calculated

This score is based on one provider. Viator rates it 4.94 from 80 reviews. We place that rating among all Viator ratings and weight it by its review count. If the tour is found on another provider later, both ratings are combined.

How the score works and rating distribution in Rome
  • Each provider rating is turned into a percentile: the share of that provider's ratings it beats, weighted by review counts.
  • Listings on different providers are combined in proportion to their review counts.
  • Tours with few reviews are pulled toward the average until more reviews come in, so a handful of perfect reviews can't top the list.
  • The result is shown from 0 to 10: this tour scores 8.3. Top 9% in Rome means it ranks in the top 9% of tours in Rome by this score.
