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 (table below). ## Overview For the first time, there is now a storytelling tour focused on the personal stories of the early Emperors of Rome. Take a stroll in downtown Rome and get ready to be blown away by the lives of the ancient Romans, their love stories, and their “peculiarities”! Hear about the assassination of Julius Caesar exactly where it happened. This is not only about Caesar, though. Besides him, there are 5 more mind-blowing Romans to talk about. For example, discover Marcus Agrippa and be amazed by his loyalty and friendship with the first Roman Emperor of Rome, Augustus. Of course, we didn’t forget characters like Emperor Nero and Hadrian. These Emperors, who were very opposite personalities, have their moment of glory on the tour. If you enjoy great historical stories from the past, don’t miss this unique opportunity and delve deep into the past. ## Before you book - Meeting point: The meeting point is by the only brick… - Starts 16:30, 19:00: 2 departures a day - Wheelchair accessible: operator-marked - Strollers OK: infants accepted - Children from €39: ages 3 to 6 **Pickup:** No hotel pickup: everyone meets at the start point ## Key facts - Price: from €39 per person - Duration: 2h–3h - Rating: 5.0/5 from 82 reviews (collected from Guidekin & Viator & Tripadvisor) - Free cancellation (see policy below) - Operator: Storytelling Rome Tours & Walks - Group: Shared tour - Guide languages: English - Start times: 16:30, 19:00 - Booking: Instant confirmation, mobile ticket - Price checked on Viator: 2026-09-12 ## Reviews 5.0 from 82 ratings on Guidekin, Viator & Tripadvisor. 100% of ratings with a star breakdown are 4 or 5 stars: 82 of 82. - 5 stars: 82 (100%) - 4 stars: 0 (0%) - 3 stars: 0 (0%) - 2 stars: 0 (0%) - 1 star: 0 (0%) ### What reviewers say Reviewers praise vivid, humorous storytelling that makes Roman history accessible, with explicit material a caveat for families. **Praised:** - Animated storytelling that makes emperors and their families feel relatable - Humour and clear explanations that make history accessible - Stories linked to the streets and sites where events took place - Manageable walking with places to sit and rest - Storytelling that holds the attention of children and teenagers **Complaints:** - Explicit or gory stories may not suit every family Written by Guidekin from the 80 most recent English reviews on Viator & Tripadvisor (2016-06-04 to 2026-09-14); last checked 2026-10-03. ## What's included - The storytelling tour is a stroll at night amongst Rome's highlights from the ancient roman Empire ## Not included - A break is optional on the tour ## Itinerary 1. **Area Sacra di Largo Argentina** (30m) - On this walking tour you will see Largo Argentina sqaure, the site of the Assassination of Julius Caesar, then we continue on, walking by incredibly beautiful sites such as the Pantheon, Piazza di Pietra and the Mausoleum of Emperor Augustus, finishing in the end with Piazza... 2. **Pantheon** (20m) - We walk by the Pantheon at night, where your tour guide will recount you the story of Marcus Agrippa, a man who in the 1st century BC managed to become the second most powerful man in the world 3. **Piazza Di Pietra** (20m) - While in awe at these fascinating 2nd century AD ruins, the tour guide will tell you the story of Emperor Hadrian, one of the best Emperors in Rome's history 4. **Piazza Colonna** (20m) - Here in this square, still endures the monumental 2nd century AD spiral column dedicated to Emperor Marcus Aurelius.
