Guidekin's take

The longest running bar crawl in the city, meeting at a pub near Piazza di Spagna every night with the open bar to start before the group moves through the centre to a club nearby, rated 4.69 across 158 reviews.

The hosted open bar, or a single drink with a shot, is included at €34 per person depending on the version. A party, not a sightseeing walk.

In our comparison: #53 of 56 in Night Tours, by rating weighted by review volume (see the comparison).

    About this tour, from the operator

    Rome's Ultimate Party or the Spanish Steps Pub Crawl as some people still call us is the very first bar crawl of Rome that started back in the late 90ies. That's right. Storming the bars of the Eternal City for over 20 years and literally dominating the international nightlife scene in the centre of the Italian capital. Meet us at the Highlander Pub every night from 9:30pm until 10:30pm and then you will know that party here never stops.
