Details

Rome—the eternal city at the heart of Italy—invites travelers into a realm where history breathes through every stone and street. Touriks offers a distinctive private guided experience, 'Ícones Romanos ao Entardecer: Visita Guiada Privada,' a 3-hour journey that unveils Rome’s grandeur just as daylight fades. Unlike the typical crowded tours, this intimate excursion led by a professional art historian takes you off the beaten path to both famous landmarks and hidden corners that slip under most visitors’ radar.

Your route threads through iconic sites: from the elegant Spanish Steps, their travertine stones catching the last golden hues, to the Trevi Fountain's Baroque water dance, and then onward to the Pantheon, where Roman mastery in engineering and art silently commands respect. This isn’t just a walk; it’s a walk through time, with narratives illuminating the artistry and political drama that shaped an empire.

Touriks’ local expertise means you’re not simply ticking off monuments but absorbing the spirit of Rome’s layered history. The private nature of the tour lets you ask questions and linger where your curiosity burns brightest, whether marveling at lesser-known architectural details or listening to the whispered legends woven into the city's fabric.

Situated in the vibrant heart of Rome, this tour fits naturally into the urban adventure scene, blending cultural discovery with the thrill of navigating a living museum that pulses with life long after sundown. It’s an ideal companion for travelers who seek depth with their sightseeing and value a personalized pace that captures the city’s magical transition from day to night.

Touriks makes Rome accessible—not just the postcard vistas but the stories, textures, and ambiance that keep history alive. When in Rome, this private sunset tour is a standout way to experience the city’s restless energy and timeless allure.
