# Moonlight Rome: Night Walking Tour of Roman Highlights

**Guidekin's take:** The classic evening loop at a bargain price: Piazza Navona, the Pantheon, the Trevi Fountain lit for the night and a finish at the Colosseum, with a small group and a local guide, rated 4.89 across 285 reviews. Guide and walk are included at €24 per person, Pantheon entry is not. Semi private and private versions exist for people who want it quieter.

Meet your guide and small group in the heart of the historic centre for a scenic stroll past some of the city’s top sights. Take in Piazza Navona, walk by the Pantheon, and see the Trevi Fountain dramatically lit as you learn about the city’s history and landmarks from your guide before ending at the Colosseum.
