If you’re looking to discover the secrets of Rome after dark then you’ve come to the right place. In this article, we’re going to dive into the best Rome night tours. From exploring the city on a golf cart to dining on the best snacks that Rome has to offer, read on to discover more.
Nighttime is a fun time to explore Rome. I personally found that the city was much quieter in the evenings, meaning that we had more of the great monuments to ourselves. Exploring at night is also a great time to dive deeper into the city’s rich culinary scene.
The Eternal City is a destination that deserves to be savoured: from the two millennia old Colosseum to the winding streets of the historic centre and the hip and trendy bars of Trastevere, there’s truly something for everyone when it comes to Rome.

If you want to cover more ground than you would if you were walking, then this guided bike ride will show you Colosseum, Roman Forum and Pantheon, among other highlights, all illuminated by night.
This tour will also take you to see the filming locations of several famous movies, and you may even get the chance to admire a beautiful sunset. The tour includes the use of a high-quality e-bike, helmet, phone holder, and a tour guide who speaks Italian and English.
Rome Night Segway Tour
Tour time: 2,5 hours
Price: from 69€ per person
If you like the idea of getting around Rome by an electric mode of transport, then you could consider this Segway tour. After all Segways are allegedly easier to ride than you might think and this tour will take you to Rome hot spots such as Piazza Navona and the Spanish steps.
Included in the price of the tour, you’ll get a helmet, an orientation session, an English speaking guide, and even a poncho in case of rain!
Rome: Paranormal Night Walking Tour & Secret Backstreets
Tour time: 2 hours
Price: from 25€ per person
If walking is more your speed, then this paranormal night tour will take you through the backstreets of Rome, telling you stories about the Eternal City’s past as you go.
Your guide will reveal history about the day to day workings of the most historical sites in Rome, and while some visitors say that the tour might not have been as scary as they were led to believe, the tour was insightful and interesting nonetheless.
Rome by Night Vespa Tour With Driver/Private Guide
Tour time: 3 hours
Price: from 180€ per person
If you ask me, then there is perhaps no better way to get around Rome by night than on the back of a scooter. My husband would like me to point out (at this point) that I am lucky to have someone who feels comfortable driving around Rome (which is, to be fair, not an easy feat).
However, if you don’t have this option available to you (we used the Cooltra app to rent a scooter), then you can book this tour where a driver/ private guide will show you around Rome by night. What’s more is that it’s on the back of a vintage scooter, giving you the opportunity to take some pretty cool photos!
Rome: Bar Hop and Nightlife Tour
Tour time: 3 hours
Price: from 45€ per person
A great way to meet other people during your trip to Rome is by booking to go on a pub crawl like this one. This tour includes a welcome shot, a welcome drink, and entrance to a dance bar or nightclub entry.
Rome: 4-Hour Food Tour by Night
Tour time: 4 hours
Price: from 135€ per person
For the foodies out there, this is the ultimate food tour by night which will help you uncover the secrets of Roman cuisine. There are also options for vegan and vegetarians, as well as those who eat gluten-free. If you’re visiting Italy with a food requirement, then I think you’ll be surprised at how friendly the country is to those with dietary requirements (unlike some of the neighbouring countries).
Included in the tour you’ll get over 20 food tastings and a guided walk through Rome. Those who eat ham will even get the chance to sample the most expensive ham in the world!
