Drunken History Rome: Colosseum Terrace, Dinner & Cocktails

Fun, entertaining tour

Our guide was a lady from Russia (can't remember her name). She was funny. She gave out some historical facts while we sipped prosecco. Asked questions. Lots of laughs. Bim celiac so the restaurant was able to accommodate me (GF pasta & pizza). Would recommend

The best tour ever!!

Lots of Laughter, lots of great food, and lots of drinks. This is the best tour we had on our 2 weeks in 5 countries! You get interesting history your other guides left out, plus the sexual history too. You learn all the specifics on how a brothel worked, plus more. We enjoyed it and would have loved to hang out longer with our new friend.

Response from the operator: Best of five countries in two weeks is quite a title to hand us, Carrie. Thank you. The evening always runs long when the company is good, and your guide clearly enjoyed it too.

Book it now! Best money spent.

BEST!TOUR!EVER! I have never been on a tour filled with so much fun, laughter, great food, and alcohol! OMG. My entire group has been raving about how great this tour was and the most fun we have ever had learning history. If history was taught like this, I'd remember more of it. Elvira, our tour guide, top notch. She was engaging, funny, and even after the tour, helped us find our way back to the bus stop. Eni and his wife were awesome. We left wishing we weren't visiting and could make all three of them lifelong friends. The pasta and pizza was amazing. The sadness that overcame us because we realized we haven't been eating pizza and pasta the way it was intended at all. This is how its supposed to taste. And the stories we learned were intriguing and left us wanting to know more. Truly full of the scandalous accounts that were not in my history book. This is one for the books and will become a life-long memory. Fabulous!

Response from the operator: Elvira, Eni and his wife will all be delighted to read it, and the feeling was mutual on their side. Thank you for taking the time to write so generously. Come back to Rome and there will be a table waiting for you and your group.

One of the main highlights of our time in Rome

This was one of the main highlights of our time in Rome. The tour guide was super informative, entertaining, and laid back. It was fun to do this with another couple that we met on the tour and we ended up hanging out with them even after the tour was over. Would recommend to other adult couples coming to Rome and looking for a different kind of history of this amazing city. Must not be easily offended.

Response from the operator: Making friends on the tour and staying out with them afterwards is the best possible ending, Lauren. And yes, Rome's love stories are not for the easily offended. Thank you!

If you like fun, want incredible value, and are in Rome, you should make this part of it.

My wife and I couldn’t think of a better way to end our trip than this tour. One of the most incredible values I’ve seen on anything let aline the tours. We had already done a couple of different excursions and walking tours across the city of Rome, even some with overlap to this particular tour, but it was full of funny and interesting information. It was a different way to experience Rome. It wasn’t hamstrung by the extreme heat. It was brought to you with levity and fun by people who care both about the history and the tour itself, deeply. It started out with fun insights and frankly more accurate retellings of different areas that we had visited. The guide used resources to tell the stories and give visuals. Moreover, Eni was fun. The husband and wife team had a playful banter that kept things grounded and down to Earth. So many tours that we had on our trip it was almost impossible to ask a question or create a conversation. It was so hard to feel like it was OK to interrupt the flow and derail the journey with the rest of the group. We had a small group, but they poured into the experience for us in a way that I feel like really separated this tour from the others we had. As a history buff I thoroughly enjoy being able to discuss things with somebody who cared a lot and knew a lot while my wife also enjoyed just being able to experience the nightlife of the city get away a little bit from the heat and partake it as many drinks as we could fit into the time with someone who matched that energy. Most tours are not a “social” experience. The tour guide knew the restaurant owner where we had the best pizza of the trip, introduced us, rented out a private bar with an excellent mixologist, and even got us into the ice bar as the tour wound down. My wife and I are 2 fairly outgoing people that just spent three weeks basically with just one another and while we absolutely love spending time with one another, having somebody else to be a part of it and to share and give us insights on the city, especially the fun ones and silly ones as well as the deeply interesting and historical ones. I would recommend this tour to anybody, but especially those who are looking to experience Rome in a different way. People who want to talk and have questions and are enthusiastic both about people and the potential stories from Rome. I know, 20 years from now, the fun and interesting stuff from this tour is going to be the make up of dinner conversations for us. I think the tour guides are talented enough to adapt to any group, or people, but for us it was awesome to talk to people who we felt a kinship with.

Response from the operator: Thank you, Eugene. Eni and the banter, the pizza, the private bar, and knowing you'll still be telling these stories in twenty years is exactly what we hoped this night would be.
