This walking tour of ancient Rome takes place at twilight, starting at Piazza Venezia in front of the Altare della Patria monument dedicated to King Victor Emanuel II. The tour lasts about 90 minutes to 2 hours and includes a guide who provides detailed commentary on the history and architecture of the sites visited. From Piazza Venezia, the group walks to Piazza del Campidoglio on Capitoline Hill, where there is a view of the Roman Forum illuminated at night. Next, the tour crosses Via dei Fori Imperiali, the boulevard built by Mussolini, to enter the Monti district. Monti is known as the birthplace of Julius Caesar and was once a dangerous area of the city. The guide leads the group up the Scalinata dei Borgia, a dark staircase that reaches the courtyard of the former residence of Pope Borgia, where stories of violent events are shared. The tour continues to Torre dei Borgia, a lesser-known spot where locals gather to see the Colosseum at night. The final stop is Piazza del Colosseo, where the tour concludes with a view of the illuminated Colosseum. The guide’s contact information is provided to participants for easier communication. Gratuities are optional but appreciated.
