The Capitoline Hill, the first Capitol Hill in history, was central to Roman political and religious life. It houses the Tabularium, Rome's ancient state archives. In the 16th century, Michelangelo transformed the hill into a Renaissance masterpiece, redesigning the square with an elegant piazza and harmonious architectural elements, enhancing its historical significance and aesthetic grandeur.
The Teatro di Marcello, built in the 1st century BC, is a remarkable testament to Roman architectural innovation. Commissioned by Julius Caesar and completed by Augustus, it served as a model for the Colosseum. This ancient open-air theater once hosted dramatic performances and musical events. Its well-preserved structure allows visitors to admire its grandeur and historical significance. Nestled in Rome's historic center, Teatro di Marcello offers a unique glimpse into ancient entertainment and Roman urban planning, making it a must-see for history enthusiasts and casual tourists alike.

This was a fantastic tour. The tour guide was informative. There were no crowds and it was cooler than in the day. I highly recommend this tour.
Highly recommend! Very knowledge and friendly guide. Cooler temps and crowds were minimal. 3 hours with many opportunities to take pictures.
Salim was a perfect evening guide, highly educated on all points of interests being a native of Rome (& even affiliation of time in NYC!) Night breeze, driving through narrow streets made for an appealing & thrilling experience!
We had a very kind man called Francesco who was a great guide and incredibly knowledgeable about the city. We loved hearing all about the buildings and monuments that we had walked past so many times already on a trip to Rome but never really knew what they were or why they were there. It was reasonably priced for a 2-3 hour tour. Would definitely recommend to anyone wanting to know a little more about the history of the city of Rome.
Great time and very knowledgeable tour guide.
What a great night. Meeting places could have been coordinated a little better as there is no sign and you meet at McDonald’s. The tour was amazing we saw everything and there was no crowds because of being at night. Guide was very knowledgeable and gave a great tour. I would highly recommend!
Very cool to experience Rome at night, especially during the summer heat. Our guide was informative and very kind. However, the 10pm was a bit late considering it was longer than we had wanted.
Thank you for your review. I'm glad you enjoyed the tour and found it excellent. I was a little surprised by your comment about the 10:00 p.m. start time, as it is clearly indicated before booking. This is specifically designed to be a night tour, and the late start is what makes the experience unique. Starting at 10:00 p.m. means there are no long lines at the Keyhole, the Trevi Fountain and other main attractions are far less crowded, and, especially during the summer, the temperatures are much more comfortable than during the day. These are some of the main reasons many guests choose this tour.
My wife and I family took a daytime tour of Rome with Eliphas, and it ended up being one of the highlights of our trip. Eliphas clearly loves Rome, and that passion comes through in every story he shares. His explanations are fun, easy to follow, and full of interesting details without ever feeling overwhelming. His English is excellent, very clear with a natural American accent, so everyone in our group found him easy to understand and chat with. We loved the mix of famous sights and hidden corners we never would’ve found on our own. Eliphas was patient with all our questions and happily took photos for us along the way (he’s actually a great photographer!). If you want a guide who’s knowledgeable, personable, enthusiastic, and speaks fantastic English, Eliphas is a wonderful choice. Whether it’s your first time in Rome or a return visit, you’ll walk away with a deeper appreciation of the city. Thank you, Eliphas, for a memorable day. We’ve already recommended you to other travellers and will keep doing so whenever friends or family visit Rome. Hassan

We loved the night tour. No crowds at the Trevi Fountain and traffic was much lighter. My favorite part was the keyhole on the Aventine hill.

A tour that was worth the money; we were very pleased. Our guide was excellent, and experiencing Rome at night in a mini golf cart was fantastic.
