Guidekin's take

A storytelling stroll rather than a monument checklist: the private lives, love affairs and oddities of Caesar and a handful of early emperors, told at night at the spots where they happened, the assassination of Caesar included, rated 5 across 82 reviews.

The guided stroll is included at €39 per person. Fully wheelchair accessible.

In our comparison: #12 of 56 in Night Tours, by rating weighted by review volume (see the comparison).
