Overview

Most Rome tours tell you about emperors and battles. This one tells you what they were doing after dark, drink in hand.

You'll hear how sex shaped Roman society and just how far the emperors went: love affairs, power plays, brothels and forbidden desires history books leave out.

Stop 1: A terrace with a view of the Colosseum (no entry). Welcome prosecco, a shot, and the first stories.
Stop 2: A restaurant in Monti. Pasta, pizza and a drink while stories get bolder.
Stop 3: A cocktail bar. The most outrageous story of the night, and a signature cocktail to close.

Walking is minimal: you stand for the prosecco and shot, then sit for dinner and the final cocktail. Small group, adults only: most guests say it felt less like a tour and more like a night out with friends.

What's Included

  • Dinner Dinner (pasta and pizza) at a restaurant in Monti
  • Alcoholic beverages Welcome prosecco, a shot on the terrace, a drink with dinner, a signature cocktail at the final stop
  • Everything not mentioned in inclusions.

Via del Colosseo, 31

This is our meeting point and also the first stop of the tour: a terrace with a view of the Colosseum. You'll be welcomed with a glass of prosecco and a shot while your host opens the evening with the first scandalous stories of ancient Rome: how emperors really lived, the truth about Roman marriage, and the secrets guidebooks leave out. It's the perfect spot to take photos of the Colosseum lit up at night before the group moves on to Monti for dinner.

Rione Monti

The second stop is a restaurant in the heart of Rione Monti, Rome's old red-light district. Here you'll sit down for a proper dinner: pasta and pizza, with a drink included. While you eat, your host keeps the stories going, and they get bolder: Roman marriage, adultery, brothels and the daily habits ancient guidebooks never mention. It's also where the group really starts talking to each other, so expect new conversations and a few laughs at the table

Rione Monti

The final stop is a cocktail bar in Monti, where the evening closes with a signature cocktail made for this experience. This is where your host saves the most outrageous story of the night: the scandal, the perversion, the detail that gets the biggest reaction from the group. You'll leave with a drink in hand, having heard the parts of ancient Roman history that no guidebook or daytime tour will tell you.
