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 (table below). ## Overview 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.
