Overview

This isn’t a pub crawl, but it’s not a walking tour either; The Rome Tipsy Tour is an award-winning social and cultural experience to discover the Eternal City after dark, and make everlasting memories along the way. The tour begins in Piazza della Madonna dei Monti, where you’ll meet your local guide, who will take you and a group of fellow travellers through Monti, one of Rome’s trendiest neighbourhoods and former red-light district.

This is where history and happy hour collide. You'll hear stories featuring the city’s most unsavoury characters, bloody power struggles, and saucy scandals before heading to atmospheric bars to experience the best of Roman nightlife. You’ll taste authentic Italian drinks like local wine, spritz, sambuca, and limoncello, all the while getting to know like-minded travellers. We've even got non-alcoholic beverages for our sober friends who still want to join the fun!

Skip a boring walking tour and experience Rome’s vibrant nightlife with a Tipsy Tour.

What's Included

  • Alcoholic beverages Authentic alcoholic beverages like local wine, spritz, carpano classico, sambuca, and limoncello
  • A pre-planned itinerary and priority service at Rome's hotspots
  • Alcohol-free options for sober travellers!

Monti

Monti is one of Rome’s trendiest neighbourhoods but back in the day it was known as a suburra of the city, a red light district rife with drugs, gambling, and sex work galore. This is where your guide will lead you to some of the best bars in the city and tell you fascinating stories you won’t hear on your average walking tour.
