# Rome After Dark: Explore the Eternal City Under the Moonlight

**Guidekin's take:** A private Mercedes and driver for a two hour night drive to the most beautiful places in the city, priced per group at €250 per group/vehicle rather than per person, which makes it cheap for a full car. Vehicle and driver are included, tickets, a licensed guide and tips are not. The drivers know Rome well but are not guides, and it is wheelchair accessible.

In our comparison: #3 of 56 in Night Tours, by rating weighted by review volume (table below).
