Guidekin's take

A seasonal walk for families through the centre decked out for Christmas, with a local guide on Roman holiday traditions, the lights and the legends behind them, in a group of fifteen at most.

The guide is included at €54 per person, pickup and tips are not. It starts early in the evening, needs a minimum number to run and does not wait for latecomers.

In our comparison: #38 of 45 in Walking Tours, by rating weighted by review volume (see the comparison).
