Viator didn’t refund for the tour that never happenef
This is a a very bad trip which never happened and Viator has decided not to refund. I requested 2 hrs before if the tour can be cancelled or changed as I was down with cold. Vítor declined the same and as my family is ready to do the tour and waiting at lobby, no tour operator ever contacted and we kept on reaching Viator. Finally when Viator gave the direct contact of the operator, The tour guy told that Viator has cancelled the tour and the tour guy was highly unprofessional and was under influence. Me along with my family had a waste of time between the trips dealing with all these. When I reported the same to Viator, they told sorry but we can’t do anything. I would not recommend Viator. There are more professional operators
Response from the operator: Dear Sir Bibhupada Amarjeet, We are very sorry to hear about your recent experience and the issues you encountered. We regret that it left you with a negative impression of our service. To clarify the situation, our records indicate that the cancellation request was sended via email 90 minutes before the scheduled start time. At that point, the driver had already been assigned and was at your hotel, waiting for 30 minutes. Additionally, we did not receive a request to change the start time. Please check that on your Voucher for the tour you can find our Info hotline phone number (24/7). Thank you for bringing this to our attention. If you have any further concerns, please do not hesitate to contact us directly. Best regards, Marta

Didn’t know we had to structure our own trip.
Seeing the riverfront, keyhole, night lights at the colosseum, Spanish steps and Trevi Fountain. Guide was personable but unprepared.
Response from the operator: Please send us travel date for your review. So we can check the situation. Marta

Great First Day Tour
We took the Rome by Night private tour on the very first evening we were in Rome. This was the perfect way to get acquainted with the sites and must-see attractions in the privacy of your own car with your own driver/tour guide. Plus you get to see these amazing sites at night, illuminated and without the hassle of daytime crowds. Seeing the Trevi Fountain, Pantheon, Castel Angelo, Vatican and so many more at night was truly memorable. And we had plenty of time to take pictures. We were not rushed at all. Highly recommend this tour!!
Response from the operator: Dear Customers we are happy you appreciated our Rome by night Tour !

Rome by Night
Patrick was an excellent tour guide. I had hurt my knee on our trip and could not get around. However using a private driver with lots of knowledge of the city is a big advantage. Loved that he took us out to the Appian Way Road. Totally recommend!
Response from the operator: Thank you for your rating!

Why this scores 43
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Rome by Night: private tour with driver: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Rome.
How much does Rome by Night: private tour with driver cost?
+
Prices start at $232 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Rome usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Rome by Night: private tour with driver take?
+
Plan for about 2 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Rome is not rushed.
Is Rome by Night: private tour with driver worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 43 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (3.8/5 across 5 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Rome, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Rome by Night: private tour with driver?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Rome by Night: private tour with driver suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 2-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Rome by Night: private tour with driver?
+
Around 2 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Rome can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Rome and add a light layer if any part of the 2-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Rome by Night: private tour with driver start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Rome within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Rome?
+
Rome runs on skip-the-line access. The Colosseum underground, the Vatican before opening, and the catacombs south of the walls all require a licensed operator, and the price gap between the good ones and the rest is smaller than you would expect. We rank by guide credentials, group size and how reliably the promised access actually materialises. On Outty we rank every Rome experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Rome Pasta and Tiramisu Class: Ravioli, Fettuccine & Fine Wine 5*, Pasta Making & Wine Tasting with Dinner in Frascati from Rome, Rome: Pizza & Tiramisu or Gelato Class with Flowing Fine Wine 5*. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Rome?
+
April, May, September and October. August is hot and half the city is shut. Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Rome?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
